Casa Don Ramon Punta Diamante Anejo Tequila 70 cl 38%

A full year on oak leaves room for reflection. Punta Diamante Añejo has had enough time for the oak and the mature agave to settle who is in charge — and the answer turns out to be both.

Expert Description

Casa Don Ramón Punta Diamante Añejo is a Mexican Añejo Tequila from Jalisco, made from 100% blue agave and bottled at 38%. It comes from Casa Don Ramón, a distillery founded in 1996 as a wholly Mexican company working with agave from the Los Altos de Jalisco highlands. The Añejo expression of Punta Diamante is double distilled and rests at least 12 months on American oak barrels, giving it a sophisticated, full-bodied profile with real depth.
