A 300-Year-Old Recipe, Revived
Cazcanes takes its name from the Cazcanes natives and revives a 300-year-old indigenous recipe from the Tequila Valley lowlands. The production reads like a purist's checklist: estate-grown certified-organic agave, low-pressure autoclave cooking, roller-mill extraction, natural spring water from Navichi Springs — rainwater filtered through volcanic minerals in the San Pedro De Los Landeros Mountains, trucked in for each production run — open-air fermentation in stainless tanks, and double distillation in stainless pot stills with a copper coil. Nothing added, nothing hurried: the añejo rests in oak until the master blender says it's ready. Explore añejo tequila, browse the store's Cazcanes shelf, or compare with the tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Nose — sweet cooked agave, vanilla, creamy coconut, warm baking spices, light nutmeg and chocolate. Palate — rich agave nectar, vanilla, caramel, toasted nuts and dried fruit with subtle oak spice and dark chocolate. Finish — velvety and long, lingering agave richness with gentle oak warmth.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat in a Riedel-style tequila glass — this is a contemplation añejo. If you must mix, a reposado-style old fashioned with agave syrup lets the oak speak.
