What is Cazadores Añejo Tequila?
Cazadores Añejo Tequila, aged for at least 12 months in small oak barrels, offers a rich, smooth taste with hints of vanilla and caramel. Interestingly, the brand's name, which means "hunters" in Spanish, was inspired by a wild deer that appeared to the founder's grandfather in a dream, leading him to discover the perfect agave field for crafting this exceptional tequila.
Why do we love Cazadores Añejo Tequila?
Cazadores Añejo Tequila stands out for its unique aging process, spending at least 12 months in small, new American oak barrels that impart rich vanilla and toasted wood notes. Unlike many other tequilas, Cazadores uses only 100% blue agave grown on their own estate in the Jalisco highlands, ensuring complete control over quality and flavor from plant to bottle.
How do you drink Cazadores Añejo Tequila?
Cazadores Añejo Tequila shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube, allowing its complex oak and vanilla notes to unfold slowly on the palate. This smooth, aged tequila also excels in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, and pairs beautifully with rich, grilled meats or spicy Mexican cuisine on warm summer evenings.
Nose: Oak and vanilla dominate upfront, complemented by warm caramel and subtle cocoa. Light citrus notes of orange peel and a hint of cinnamon add complexity. Faint agave sweetness lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and rich with prominent oak and caramel flavors. Vanilla and butterscotch mingle with mild peppery spice. Cooked agave provides a gentle sweetness, balanced by hints of dark chocolate and toasted nuts. A touch of dried fruit emerges as it develops.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Warm oak and spice linger, accompanied by a gentle sweetness reminiscent of honey. Subtle notes of leather and tobacco add depth, while a whisper of agave ties it back to its roots. Leaves a pleasant warmth in the chest.
Cazadores Añejo Tequila is crafted using 100% blue agave that's slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours before fermenting with a secret strain of yeast. The spirit then rests for at least 12 months in new, small American white oak barrels, allowing it to develop its rich amber color and complex flavors of caramel, vanilla, and spice.
