Don Ramón Mezcal

A Mexican mezcal named after a "Don", a title of respect in Mexican culture. Don Ramón draws on mezcal's rustic roots, where the agave is roasted in earthen pits long before it's ever distilled. It's a taste that carries the landscape - smoke, earth and heat - straight into the glass.

About Don Ramón

Don Ramón is a Mexican mezcal whose name carries the title 'Don', traditionally used as a respectful form of address in Mexico. For anyone who only knows agave spirits from tequila, Don Ramón is a chance to meet mezcal's more rustic, smoky character - a completely different experience shaped by the traditional earthen pits the agave is roasted in. For collectors, mezcal is one of the most dynamic categories in the spirits world right now, where growing interest in origin, agave variety and traditional craft has made even lesser-known brands sought after.

History & Background

Mezcal's roots go back several hundred years in Mexico, where various indigenous peoples distilled agave long before tequila got its own name and protected status. Don Ramón places itself within that tradition with a name signalling respect for the older generations of mezcaleros - the craftspeople who still today roast, crush and distil agave using methods that have barely changed across generations. The brand is part of the growing export of mezcal from small, local producers to the international market, which has really picked up pace over the last 15-20 years.

Production & Style

The mezcal is distilled from agave roasted in earthen pits, following traditional Mexican mezcal methods.
