Crafted with devotion and a deep respect for traditional methods, Rezpiral Apolonio & Simeon Ramirez Barril Agave Spirit is a testament to the artistry of Mexican distillation. This extraordinary spirit hails from the heart of Oaxaca, where the agave Barril, a rare and wild variety, is meticulously hand-harvested. The Ramirez family, with generations of knowledge passed down, ensures that each batch reflects the true essence of their ancestral lands.
At El Cerrito Liquor, a renowned retailer of high-end wine and spirits in the North American region, we are proud to present this unique agave spirit. The rich, earthy aromas greet you immediately, offering a prelude to the complexity within. On the nose, you’ll find notes of roasted agave intertwined with hints of fresh herbs, citrus zest, and a subtle smokiness that speaks to the traditional earthen pit ovens used in its production.
The palate is where this spirit truly shines. A symphony of flavors unfolds, starting with sweet, cooked agave, followed by layers of tropical fruit, like ripe mango and pineapple. As you savor each sip, a peppery spice emerges, balanced by a gentle minerality that reflects the terroir of Oaxaca. The experience is both robust and refined, making it a standout in any collection.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving behind a warm, lingering spice and a touch of smokiness that invites you to take another sip. This is a spirit that demands to be savored slowly, allowing its complexity to reveal itself fully over time. Whether enjoyed neat, or as the base of an exquisite cocktail, Rezpiral Apolonio & Simeon Ramirez Barril Agave Spirit is an exploration of Oaxacan tradition in every glass.
