Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh agave sweetness mingles with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. Subtle notes of caramel and baking spices emerge, alongside a whisper of citrus zest.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, with cooked agave at the forefront. Flavors of butterscotch and light honey are complemented by gentle oak tannins. A touch of black pepper and cinnamon adds complexity, while a faint hint of tropical fruit lingers in the background.
Finish: Medium-long and warm, with a pleasant interplay of sweet and spicy notes. The agave's natural sweetness fades gradually, leaving behind a gentle oak dryness and a subtle warmth that invites another sip.
How It's Made
Cazcanes No. 7 Reposado begins as their award-winning Blanco tequila, made from 100% organic Blue Weber agave, which is then rested in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels for up to 11 months. What makes this reposado unique is that it's aged to taste rather than time, with the final product being a carefully crafted blend of barrels aged for various durations, selected to achieve the perfect balance between vibrant agave flavors and rich oak notes.
