Named for the Last Unconquered
Cazcanes honors the Cazcan indigenous people of Mexico — described by the brand as the last indigenous people of Mexico to be conquered by the Spaniards — and the recipe is said to trace to a 300-year-old indigenous formula. The No. 10 is the top of the range: still-strength, unaged, and uncompromising, a style that rewards drinkers who like their blanco with the volume turned up.

Tasting Notes
Expect concentrated cooked-agave intensity — sweet roasted agave, white pepper, and citrus oils — with the copper-coil distillation keeping it clean and precise. At 108 proof it is bold but not harsh; the spring-water fermentation keeps the finish bright.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita or Glencairn to taste the agave at full strength, or with a single cube if you prefer it softened. Still-strength blancos also make exceptional high-proof margaritas and palomas — use slightly less than you would a 40% blanco.
