Process & Profile
Crafted in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, Cazcanes No.9 Rosa Blanco is a testament to traditional tequila-making with a modern twist. This limited-edition tequila starts with 100% organic Blue Weber agave, hand-harvested from the rich volcanic soils of Los Valles. After cooking the agave to perfection in low-pressure autoclaves, its essence is extracted using a roller mill. The tequila undergoes fermentation with natural wild yeast and double distillation in stainless steel pots with copper coils. What sets this expression apart is its brief aging period—82 days in first-fill French oak barrels that previously held Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon—imparting a delicate pink hue and complex layers of flavor. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), this tequila is a standout for its robustness and artisanal craftsmanship, delivered in a hand-blown glass bottle to reflect its uniqueness.Tasting Notes
