The story
According to the official page, Casa Don Ramón has been operating since 1996 and states over 25 years of activity, presence in more than 50 countries and numerous international medals. The site describes a development based on a balance between artisanal tradition and modern technologies, with sustainability initiatives related to material recycling and responsible management of agricultural resources.
Production philosophy
Official communication emphasizes the union of craftsmanship and innovation, the aesthetic care of the bottles (decorations and handwork), the use of 100% Agave Azul and sustainable practices such as reuse of pomace and bagasse, use of recycled glass and restoration of plantations (planting Salmiana agaves in proportion to harvests).
Territory
Production and raw materials tied to the Los Altos/Highlands region of Jalisco, Mexico; the brand declares exports to over 50 countries.
Production method
Products made from 100% Agave Azul (Agave Tequilana Weber). The range includes aerobic fermentations with selected yeasts, double distillation and, for aged expressions, rest in wooden barrels; some cristalino references undergo filtration processes to remove color.
Distillation
Double distillation (indicated as the general method); in official product sheets some references report distillation in stainless steel stills while others mention copper stills.
Ageing
Varies by label: Reposado indicated with rest in American oak barrels for at least 2 months; Añejo for at least 12 months in American oak; Extra Añejo aged up to 36 months (for special editions). Some cristalino expressions result from filtration after ageing.
