Honoring Don Cenobio, the First Generation
Tres Generaciones is the premium arm of Casa Sauza — its very name means "three generations," and the brand's updated bottles carry three stripes that graduate from imperfect to smooth, representing how each Don of the Sauza family built upon the work of the generation before. Cenobio's Batch is the first chapter of the Legacy Series, honoring Don Cenobio — the first-generation founder, one of the fathers of tequila — with a plata made the traditional way: tahona-crushed agave, brick-oven cooking, and a still-strength 45% ABV that carries bold flavor and unmistakable character.

How to Enjoy
Best savored neat or gently chilled to showcase its purity — the still-strength ABV gives it plenty of presence for sipping. It also elevates premium cocktails like the Classic Margarita or Tequila Gimlet, adding heritage depth and nuanced agave character.
