Rezpiral Simeon Ramirez | Series 8: Tobaziche & San Martinero
Maestro: Simeon Ramirez
Agave: Ensemble of Tobaziche & San Martinero (A. karwinskii)
ABV: 50.4%
Location: San Agustín Amatengo, Oaxaca A Karwinskii Masterclass
This Series 8 release from Maestro Simeon Ramirez is a sophisticated exploration of the Karwinskii family. By blending Tobaziche and San Martinero, two agaves known for their tall, tree-like stalks and intense structural complexity, Simeon has created a spirit that is both ruggedly terrestrial and elegantly refined.
At 50.4% ABV, this ensemble is a high-octane journey into the heart of San Agustín Amatengo. The inclusion of San Martinero, a rarer, often more elusive member of the Karwinskii family, adds a layer of dark, savory depth to the bright, herbaceous profile of the Tobaziche.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A striking, "green" aromatic profile. Initial notes of cedar chest, dried hay, and snapped twigs are layered over a base of roasted agave sweetness. As it opens, you’ll detect hints of sourdough starter and a subtle, dusty minerality.
- Palate: The entry is bold and structured. The 50.4% proof delivers a concentrated burst of flavor: think green olives in brine, roasted nuts, and a distinctive "forest floor" earthiness. The San Martinero contributes a savory, almost meaty backbone that balances the floral top notes of the Tobaziche.
- Finish: Dry, persistent, and remarkably clean. It leaves a resonant trail of wood ash, black tea, and a lingering, peppery spice that tingles on the mid-palate.
Why We Love This Bottle
This is a "textural" spirit. For the Bernal Heights enthusiast who enjoys the structural complexity of a fine Mezcal, the Rezpiral Series 8 Ensemble offers a fascinating look at how different varieties of the same agave family can harmonize. It is a powerful, uncompromising bottle that rewards the patient sipper with evolving flavors as it breathes in the glass.
"Simeon Ramirez continues to prove why he is a master of the ensemble. This Tobaziche and San Martinero blend is a masterclass in balance, power, and Oaxacan terroir."

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.
