Don Ramón Joven Salmiana Mezcal

Don Ramón Joven Salmiana Mezcal is an elegant Salmiana expression from Zacatecas, crafted for balance and finesse. Made from 100% Salmiana agave matured 8–10 years, it’s double-distilled to a crystal-clear spirit that balances gentle smoke with bright citrus, florals and verdant herbal notes. With sustainable replanting at its heart, this artisanal joven is equally at home in a fine cocktail or savoured neat, making it a refined choice for sipping and gifting.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Delicate smoke lifts aromas of fresh herbs, wildflowers and citrus. The palate is smooth and poised: earthy agave depth meets vanilla sweetness, mint and subtle stone-fruit brightness. A clean, lingering finish carries gentle smoke, herbaceous spice and a whisper of citrus.

Cocktail Pairings

A luminous Mezcal Paloma: grapefruit soda blushing pink, salted rim and a grapefruit wheel to frame the citrus-smoke lift. A Mezcal Margarita with fresh lime and orange liqueur—zesty, crystalline and elegant. The modern classic Naked & Famous (mezcal, Aperol, yellow Chartreuse, lime) shines in neon hues—herbal, bitter-sweet and precise. For spice and sparkle, a Mezcal Mule marries ginger’s bite with herbal smoke. Or keep it pared-back with a Saladito: mezcal, lime and honey syrup—silky, golden and quietly luxurious.

Craftsmanship & Story

Born from Salmiana agaves grown in Zacatecas and harvested at peak maturity, this mezcal is double-distilled in alembic stills for purity while retaining character. Casa Don Ramón’s stewardship includes replanting two agaves for every one harvested, sustaining the landscape and future craft. The result is a polished joven that balances smoke, green and cooked agave tones, and the freshness of wild botanicals.
