Cazcanes No. 7 Joven Tequila
Cazcanes No. 7 Joven Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV) small-batch joven tequila, 750mL — a multi-age blend of 59% blanco, 13% reposado, 26% añejo, and 2% extra añejo, blended to taste batch by batch (not to a fixed formula), with hand-numbered labels. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, additive-free, at Tequilera Tap (NOM 1614) in Amatitán, Jalisco — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Named for the Cazcanes natives — the last indigenous people of Mexico to resist the Spanish conquest — the brand revives a 300-year-old indigenous recipe with modern quality control and zero additives: hand-selected agave slow-cooked in low-pressure autoclaves, double-distilled in stainless pot stills with copper coils, and cut with volcanic spring water from Navichi Springs. Master Distiller Francisco "Chico" Jiménez Lazcarro blends each No. 7 batch to taste, making every bottling unique — a purist cult favorite built on estate-grown agave.
Tasting notes (official Cazcanes copy, via raretequilas.com): honey-gold color; nose of vanilla, toasted coconut, baked apple, citrus, and caramel; palate bright, expressive, and agave-forward; long, silky finish with gentle sweetness and lingering warmth.
Why buy: No. 7 bridges two worlds — blanco vibrancy and aged sophistication in one bottle. For the drinker who finds blancos too lean and añejos too oaky, this is the answer. Explore more tequila at Del Mesa Liquor or browse Cazcanes at Del Mesa Liquor.
