Cazcanes Tequila Still Strength Blanco No. 10 (54%)

A high-proof blanco tequila from Cazcanes, bottled straight from the still at 54% ABV. Made in Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested at full maturity from volcanic soils, the piñas are slow-cooked in low-pressure autoclaves and crushed with traditional roller mills. Fermentation uses pure spring water from Navichi Springs, followed by double distillation in stainless-steel stills with copper coils. It is certified organic, additive-free and kosher. The nose is bright and earthy, with roasted agave, lime zest, crushed peppercorn, herbal freshness and wet-stone minerality. The palate is full-bodied, with cooked agave sweetness, peppery heat, citrus brightness, anise, mint and faint tropical fruit. The finish is long, dry and invigorating, with pepper spice, saline minerality and lingering agave warmth.
