The Lost Art of Tequila-Making
Cazcanes is known for what it calls "the lost art of tequila-making" — and for highlighting proof levels rather than just aging categories, with a numbered line that lets drinkers choose intensity (#7 at 40%, #9 at 50%, #10 at still strength). No. 7's process is meticulous: lowland agave hand-selected at peak sugar, a 24-hour low-pressure autoclave cook, four-pass roller-mill extraction, fermentation in stainless steel with a proprietary yeast, and double distillation in stainless steel pot stills fitted with copper coils — all built on natural volcanic spring water from Navichi Springs, trucked to the distillery for each run.

Tasting Notes
Warm cooked agave on the nose with bright citrus — grapefruit, orange zest — plus baking spices, guava, black pepper, and floral/mineral undertones. The palate is clean and sweet: sweet agave, grapefruit, caramel, vanilla, coconut, and white/black pepper with a vegetal-anise edge and lowland minerality. Long, crisp, floral, peppery finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat or in a blanco-forward margarita — its clean agave character and bright citrus make it a cocktail workhorse, and the 40% ABV keeps it sessionable.
