Cazcanes No. 7 Anejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

An additive-free añejo tequila from Tequilera TAP, NOM 1614, Amatitán, Jalisco, aged a minimum of one year in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and bottled 'to taste, not time' from barrels ranging one to over two years. It is made from 100% estate Blue Weber agave and certified organic. Cazcanes takes its name from the Cazcanes natives and revives a 300-year-old indigenous recipe from the Tequila Valley lowlands. Production includes low-pressure autoclave cooking, roller-mill extraction, Navichi Springs water, open-air fermentation in stainless tanks and double distillation in stainless pot stills with a copper coil. Sweet cooked agave, vanilla, creamy coconut, warm baking spices, light nutmeg and chocolate on the nose; rich agave nectar, vanilla, caramel, toasted nuts and dried fruit with subtle oak spice and dark chocolate on the palate; a velvety, long finish with lingering agave richness and gentle oak warmth.
