Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Blanco Tequila Limited Edition

Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Blanco Tequila Limited Edition takes Cazcanes' still-strength blanco — bottled off the still at 54% ABV — and rests it just 31 days in first-fill French Oak casks that previously held Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, then bottles it at 50% ABV (100 proof) with a delicate blush hue. It is a limited single-batch release from the boutique Cazcanes distillery (NOM 1614) in Amatitán, Jalisco, the only batch being made this year, in a 750mL bottle. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

31 Days in Napa Cabernet Oak

Thirty-one days is enough for fine French-oak tannin and dried Cabernet fruit to integrate with pure agave character — and short enough to keep the spirit inside blanco classification. The result drinks like a bridge between worlds: the crisp agave punch of a still-strength blanco with the rosé hue, red-fruit elegance, and soft tannin structure of a wine-cask rest. Cazcanes is known for sustainability, spring-water sourcing, and additive-free traditional methods, and the Rosa line is its exploration of non-standard finishing for blanco expressions. Explore the Cazcanes collection, browse more blanco tequila, and shop tequila at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

Cooked agave, red berries, citrus peel, and dried rose petals on the nose; the palate is rich and vibrant — cherry, vanilla, caramelized agave, soft tannins, and delicate spice — finishing long and warming with lingering fruit, oak, and a clean agave backbone.

How to Enjoy

Savor it neat to appreciate the wine-cask craft, or use it to elevate cocktails that want agave plus elegance — a rosé-hued margarita or a tequila-forward spritz.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rosa Blanco a reposado?
No — at 31 days it stays within blanco classification (up to 60 days is permitted). It has more depth and color than a standard unaged blanco but not the full wood character of a reposado.

Why does it look pink?
The blush hue comes from 31 days in French Oak casks previously used for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — residual wine character transfers color, dark fruit, and tannin to the tequila.

Will there be more batches?
This is a limited single-batch release — the only Rosa Blanco batch being made this year.
