Tequila Ocho Tequila Anejo Single Estate:

I like this tequila for many reasons but the biggest reason is its Mexican taste profile. This is not for someone who likes sweet tequila like a class Azul it is more for the person who wants to enjoy a nice oaky spirit by the fire at night. This brand is up and coming so keep an eye out for more of these guys.

Flavor Profile

Unaged and honors the noble agaves of Arandas and the Camarena “Ranchos” through intense, lively and clean flavors Made with 100% Blue Agave. Available in 100ml and 750ml.

Description

On a morning when three brilliant roosters (tototl) greet the dawn with hopeful songs of renewal, mature agave plants at the hacienda are ready to be hand harvested and Organic Blanco tequila awakens from its eighteen months slumber in white oak barrels to be reborn as Anejo (Tres) Tequila. Just as the rooster has long been a symbol of virility and power in Mexican folklore, the complex aromatic bouquet and deep golden hue of Anejo (Tres) Tequila are signs of its superior quality and lengthy aging. Enjoy Anejo (Tres) tequila as you would any fine, aged spirit by savoring the mastery of its limited production and the mystery of its ancient legend.

Tasting Notes

Aged for 18 months in white oak barrels, 123 Organic Tequila Añejo (Tres) emerges with a prominent woody character and deep golden hue. It initially sends heady notes of tannin and wood oil to the nose, yet the aromas mellow in the glass, giving way to rich caramel and chocolate elements.

Flavor Profile

Aged for at least 18 months in American Oak bourbon barrels, the G4 Añejo adds a smooth character. Vanilla and agave notes are present in both the aroma and taste. Slight pepper, soft floral tones as well as smoky highlights.

Description

Aged in ex-American Whiskey barrels for 8 weeks and 8 days. Made with 100% Blue Agave. Available in 750ml.

Description

As the sun and moon meet in the sky above the agave plantation, two stealthy jaguars (miztli) roam the fields in search of their elusive prey. During their silent hunts, Reposado (Dos) tequila rests in white oak barrels for six months before its timely release. 

Tasting Notes

This complex spirit reveals aromatic raw and cooked agave tempered by the warmth of oak aging with spicy notes of vanilla, anise and hint of citrus; a combination equally at home in cocktails and as a sipping tequila making it the most versatile of the 123 Organic Tequila styles.

In our minds, producing tequila is an art form, one we take very seriously. With Cazcanes, you wont find a large scale distillery producing tequila for multiple brands. What you will find is a boutique-style distillery that operates in harmony with the land, environment and natural spring that preserves it. Cazcanes takes a distinctive approach to producing hand-crafted tequila from start to finish.

Cazcanes sources natural artesian water for our tequila. The water starts off as rain or snow high up in the pristine peaks of the San Pedro De Los Landeros Mountains. It slowly travels through natural minerals deep within the volcanic mountains before emerging at the Navichi springs.

We hand select each individual 100% Weber Blue agave for harvest during peak sugar levels to deliver a distinct Cazcanes taste. The “piñas” are then cooked, rolled, and squeezed by hand to extract and concentrate their flavors. Next comes fermentation using, natural wild yeast, followed by distillation in our alembic stills.

Our attention to detail continues through every step of our small batch process, until our tequila finds its final resting place in a hand-blown glass bottle.

Cazcanes No.9 Blanco 100 Proof is the first Blanco offering from Mr. Collin Edwards, the award winning Master Distiller of Cazcanes Tequila. The No.9 Blanco has received praise in the U.S being voted 2018 Best Blanco Tequila and Best Unaged White Spirit, along with 2017 and 2018 Double Gold medals, from the renowned San Francisco World Spirit Competition. Cazcanes Tequila No.9 is a sipping tequila at its finest.

Drink Cazcanes Tequila No.9 Blanco on the rocks, neat, or in a cocktail. More sophisticated palates will appreciate the complexity of the higher proof distillate that comes from this tequila’s unique production process.

Description

Our Blanco tequila is unaged and bottled immediately after distillation to capture the essence of our highland blue weber agave. The minerality of our soil and water shines through in this traditional, agave-forward tequila.

Description

An estate-grown, 100% Blue Agave Tequila range, OCHO is produced as a collaboration between Tomas Estes (the man credited with bringing the first bottle of Tequila to Europe) and renowned distillers, the Camarena family. What's really unique about OCHO is that it bears the first ever 'Tequila vintage'. This 'Vintage' signifies the exact year or harvest and location of the Agave plants that the spirit was derived from, under-lining the finely balanced relationship between the terroir and quality of raw materials.
