Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Reposado Tequila Limited Edition

Rosa: Tequila's Pink Revolution
Cazcanes numbers its expressions by strength — and No. 9, at 100 proof, is the boldest of the Rosa line. The distillery in Amatitán works with 100% Blue Weber agave, natural artesian spring water and wild yeast, and the Rosa Reposado is its most collectible expression: a single annual batch, each one slightly different in color and character. Explore the Cazcanes collection, more reposado tequila, and the full tequila shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Pink-tinged ruby. Cooked agave with cinnamon, plum, berries, citrus and gentle oak on the nose. Berry and plum fruit, baking spice and a touch of chocolate over bright agave on the palate — long finish of cherry, toasted almond, vanilla and dry tannin.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat to taste the full dialogue between agave and wine cask. In cocktails, it elevates anything calling for reposado — try it in a high-proof margarita or a tequila Old Fashioned.
