Cazcanes No. 9 Blanco Tequila (75cl, 50%)

A high-proof blanco tequila at 50% ABV, the 9th test recipe that became the brand's foundation. It is made from 100% organic Blue Weber agave and rests 1-3 months in stainless steel before bottling, with no oak contact. Distilled at NOM 1614 in Amatitán, Jalisco, it uses low-pressure autoclave cooking, a four-pass roller mill, proprietary-yeast fermentation and double distillation in stainless pot stills with copper coils. The extra proof carries the sweet cooked agave, floral notes and subtle minerality with more intensity. Official notes give sweet cooked agave, floral notes and a subtle minerality. Extended brand copy adds a floral, sweet-agave, candy-corn nose; a clean, earthy palate of sweet agave, black pepper and anise; and an extremely smooth, long finish of sweet floral and black peppercorn.
