Tasting Note: Agave notes with a touch of eucalyptus and hints of white pepper, caramel and toasted oak. Dry, earthy agave balanced with vanilla and toasted oak. The finish is long and complex with a jalapeño tingle.

Producer: Cazcabel tequila is created in an independent micro distillery in the town of Arandas, located in the highlands of the Jalisco mountains in Mexico. The elevation of Arandas ensures that the agave are well hydrated and that they have mineral and nutrient rich soil which allow them to grow larger than anywhere else in Jalisco. Once harvested we use autoclaves to steam our piñas and start converting the carbohydrates and starches into fermentable sugars. Autoclaves have many benefits including being able to regulate temperatures which allow for an even cook and a beautifully clean tequila. After fermenting in steel tanks for 10 days, Cazcabel is distilled using a combination of copper pot and steel stills and then chill-filtered to get rid of any impurities. The combination of these processes gives Cazcabel tequila its well rounded but amazingly smooth and balanced flavour.
