Rezpiral Simeon Ramirez Tobaziche
A Glimpse into the Soul of Oaxaca's Terroir From the skilled hands of Simeon Ramirez in San Agustin Amatengo, Oaxaca, comes this exceptional expression of Rezpiral's commitment to artisanal mezcal. This Tobaziche mezcal is a testament to the magueyero's deep understanding of the land and its gifts. Tobaziche (Agave Karwinskii) is known for its long, cylindrical stalk that can take a decade or more to mature, and its distinctive, often complex, flavor profile. This spirit is a pure reflection of the agave and the land it grew on.
Simeon Ramirez, in partnership with his father Apolonio, carries on a multi-generational legacy of traditional mezcal production. The agaves for this batch were cooked in a conical earthen oven and milled using a traditional tahona, a stone wheel pulled by an ox, before being fermented and distilled. The resulting mezcal is a vibrant spirit that showcases the unique characteristics of the Tobaziche agave.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A captivating and complex aroma. Notes of roasted agave and subtle smoke are met with a surprising array of green and earthy scents. There are whispers of roasted sunflower seeds and a hint of melon or cucumber, with a bright minerality and a touch of white pepper.
- Palate: The first sip is a delightful journey of sweet and savory. It's full-bodied and viscous on the palate, with a creamy texture. Flavors of roasted nuts and sweet fruit, perhaps a hint of tropical fruit or even cherry, are beautifully balanced by an earthy minerality and an herbal, almost minty, freshness. A subtle peppery heat builds, adding a layer of complexity without overpowering the delicate flavors.
- Finish: Long, elegant, and clean. The finish leaves a lingering warmth with notes of citrus zest, sweet herbs, and a satisfying, dry minerality. It's a mezcal that evolves in the glass, leaving a lasting impression.

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.
