Rezpiral (Simeon Ramirez) San Martinero Series 7 Agave Spirit
The Earthy Enigma: A Micro-Batch from Simeon Ramirez
The Rezpiral Series 7 San Martinero is a highly sought-after, micro-batch agave spirit that embodies the traditional, intricate methods of Maestro Mezcalero Simeon Ramirez in San Agustín Amatengo, Oaxaca.
This release showcases the unique character of the majestic San Martinero agave (Agave karwinskii), which required 10 to 15 years to reach maturity.2This destilado de agave is a testament to labor-intensive, small-scale production, yielding only a tiny 100-liter batch in July 2022.3 The process employs a rare distillation method: utilizing both a clay pot for the initial distillation to impart rich minerality, followed by a refrescadera (a type of copper still with a condenser) for the second pass, which helps refine the spirit's profile.4 The result is a bold, high-proof expression that delivers intense flavor and a beautiful representation of the wild karwinskii agave.
Tasting Notes
This San Martinero offers a complex profile, rich in savory, earthy, and mineral notes—a true expression of its wild origin and traditional distillation process.
- Aroma: Assertive and rich. Initial notes of wet stone and minerality from the clay distillation, mingling with savory herbs and a distinctive hint of sweet anise. Underlying cooked agave and a subtle waft of cigar smoke are present.
- Palate: Full-bodied and high-proof, yet refined. The flavor is a beautiful balance of earthy black pepper and brine, leading into sweeter, exotic notes of melon, honey, and licorice. A pronounced clay note anchors the mid-palate, giving it a textural richness.
- Mouthfeel: Crisp and surprisingly clean for its proof, developing a creamy texture that coats the tongue before resolving cleanly.
- Finish: Long, dry, and mineral-driven. Concludes with lingering warmth, bright citrus peel, anise candy, and a final, subtle smoky, woody echo from the black oak oven.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
