Mengolí de Morelos, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca 0122VFR, 50.2%, 1,602 bottles, January, 2022

This (relatively) large batch of sugar-rich arroqueño is the product of a single field of arroqueño grown in the neighboring community of El Sauz by the same magueyero responsible for the azulín used in what was the Ramos’s most sought after batch from 2021.

Victor and his son Emanuel are the 3rd and 4th generations of the Ramos family to produce mezcal in the Miahuatlán district of Oaxaca. They are related to the neighboring Cortes Family by way of Victor’s wife (Emanuel’s mother), Cleotilde, whose sister Cesilia is married to Felipe.
