Casa Don Ramón is a brand of high-quality Tequila that produces exceptionally refined and expressive spirits. The project aims to showcase Mexican excellence in its most authentic form, far from many industrial standardizations that have often trivialized its character. The entire production process is meticulously cared for, with the sole objective of preserving the expressive identity of traditional Tequila. Nothing is left to chance, starting from the rigorous and careful selection of raw materials, to the processing of the agave, fermentation processes, distillation, and final refinements in steel or precious oak woods.
At the core of the success of Tequila Casa Don Ramón is the choice to use only and exclusively Blue Agave plants cultivated in the highlands of Jalisco, a region located in the western part of the country characterized by a mild and temperate climate and ancient volcanic soils rich in minerals. Agave has always grown spontaneously in these lands, and for Tequila production, only mature plants of about 8-10 years old are selected, capable of accumulating sugars and essential aromas to create great spirits. Experienced jimadores choose which plants to cut, still done in an artisanal way thanks to centuries-old experience passed down from generation to generation. Once the leaves are removed, the heart of the agave is obtained, which is then processed for subsequent stages.
The agave is slowly cooked in traditional ovens to soften the pulp. The agave is then shredded and crushed to initiate the fermentation and extraction of the precious juice. This is followed by double distillation in traditional stills to obtain a Tequila with a high degree of purity. At this point, the expertise and skill of the Master Tequilero come into play, who tastes individual batches to create various blends and allocate the spirits for bottling or aging in oak barrels to produce Reposado, Anejo, or Extra Anejo versions, depending on the wood aging period.
