Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Anejo Tequila
Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Anejo Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL extra añejo aged an average of 37 months — beyond the 36-month extra añejo minimum — in re-charred American oak barrels sourced from Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Clermont, and Four Roses, with a portion finished on French oak staves for refined depth. It is made from 100% organic Blue Weber agave and is certified additive-free, and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Cazcanes is named for the Cazcanes natives — the last indigenous people of Mexico to be conquered by the Spaniards — and the brand revives a 300-year-old indigenous recipe, trucking in pristine volcanic spring water from the remote Navichi Springs for every production run. Distilled at Tequilera Tap (NOM 1614) in Amatitán, Jalisco, it is low-pressure-autoclave cooked, roller-mill extracted, open-air fermented in stainless tanks, and double-distilled in stainless pots with a copper coil. The brand's philosophy is "aged to taste, not time" — barrels are sampled and blended only when they reach peak character.
Brand tasting notes: roasted agave, vanilla, orange zest, and toasted almond on the nose; honey, apple pie, coconut, and toffee on the palate; a velvety mouthfeel of caramel, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and toasted nuts with gentle warming barrel spice; and a long, luxurious finish of sweet vanilla, caramelized toffee, and a whisper of oak.
Why buy Cazcanes No. 7? Because it drinks like the world's finest aged spirits — the rich, barrel-forward profile was designed to convert fans of high-end bourbon, Scotch, and Cognac to agave. Browse the Cazcanes brand collection, more tequila, and the full spirits collection.
Serving note: enjoy neat in a snifter to showcase the layered oak-and-agave balance; pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and roasted nuts.
