Cazcanes No. 7 Joven

Jalisco (Los Valles)

“There’s some dried grass, some funky agave, some citrus and a bunch of earth on the aroma. After it opens up for a while, a whole bunch of cinnamon comes out, which is nice. There’s a lot of agave in the flavor though, and it’s pretty thick and coating in the mouth. ...”

    “Alma del Jaguar — Nocturna 101 Nose Vegetal and fermentation-driven, with cooked agave sweetness and damp concrete minerality. Subtle sourdough notes add an earthy, funky character to the aroma. Taste & Texture Thick and clinging in the glass, with a slick, oily mouthfeel that coats the palate. Sweet agave leads the flavor profile, followed by cinnamon and pepper. The higher proof makes its presence known, adding warmth and intensity without losing the agave character. Finish Sweet agave and pepper carry into the finish, with a lingering warmth from the higher proof. A subtle herbal note emerges at the very end.”

    “Arette 101 — High Proof Blanco Nose Floral notes lead the nose, accompanied by damp stone minerality, fermentation character, and fresh agave. Taste & Texture Thick and clinging in the glass, with a rich mouthfeel that coats the palate. Agave sweetness comes through alongside herbal notes, while peppery spice creates a noticeable tingle across the tongue and gums. Finish Lingering sweetness carries into a warm, peppery finish, with the heat of the higher proof adding intensity. A subtle herbal note emerges at the very end, rounding out the experience.”

    “Fortaleza Blanco — Combined Tasting Review Nose The nose opens with pronounced minerality and briny character, accompanied by the inviting sweetness of cooked agave. Fresh vegetal and earthy notes add depth, creating a clean, expressive aroma that highlights the tequila’s traditional production methods. Taste & Texture Full-bodied and rich, with a slick, creamy, almost oily texture that coats the tongue. The flavor is dense and layered, with cooked agave sweetness working beautifully alongside briny mineral notes. Cinnamon and pepper develop throughout the sip, adding warmth and complexity without overpowering the agave. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive, showcasing the influence of tahona-crushed agave. Finish Long, complex, and pepper-forward, with lingering notes of olive brine and earthy agave. A refreshing herbal quality develops on the exhale, occasionally presenting an almost mint-like character. Subtle fermentation funk adds another layer as the warmth gradually fades, leaving a memorable combination of spice, minerality, and vegetal character. Overall Impression Fortaleza Blanco absolutely lives up to the hype. Its full, dense flavor, rich oily texture, and distinctive briny character create a beautifully balanced and traditionally expressive tequila. The combination of cooked agave sweetness, pepper, olive brine, and earthy complexity makes this an exceptional blanco. This is what tequila should taste and feel like.”

    “Aroma , agave , licorice, vanilla , toffee , with a trace of citrus filled my nose. Palate, agave and vanilla were prominent , followed by a slight cinnamon and pepper oily mouthfeel, with a slight burn on the throat. Finish, was medium to long with flavors of cinnamon, some toffee, and leaving my mouth with a coated oily feel lingering after. Overall, the flavor and finish made for a good sipper, I feel like it could be used as a good mixer a revisited after a blind taste, made adjustments to my rating. ”

  • “No. Bottle: 2316 • Visual: Bright, Clear with med, clear edge. Great viscosity. • Aroma: Big citrus, white flowers, mineral, minty/funky thing going on, hot pepper. • Mouthfeel: Creamy with generous alcohol. Drying on the tongue. • Flavor: Like the aroma - big citrus blast and fennel (mint). Dried pineapple, cinnamon, honey. It has a creamy heat on the finish, generous alcohol and the fennel/licorice really linger with a lemony citrus. This one needs to open up a bit before you dig in. Give it the time it deserves and this high proof will shine!”

    “Bottle: Batch 2, LOTE 817, 220426, #CASCAHUINEANDO Appearance: Pale honey-gold x luminous straw Nose: Cooked agave, minerality, wet cement, petrichor, brine/salinity, olive, light oak, barrel spice, roasted almond, butter, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, citrus, orange peel, fruity, peach, dried apricot, raw honey, and white pepper…in a word, sumptuous Palate: Cooked agave, toasted oak, barrel spice, vanilla, brown butter, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, baking spice, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, citrus, charred pineapple, orange oil, dry earth, brine/salinity, olive, minerality, vegetal, and fresh herbs…a little less sweet, a little more savory, and even slightly green Finish: Cooked agave, honey, black pepper, cinnamon, toasted oak, sawdust, and brine/salinity…extra long and spicy with an oily/viscous mouthfeel Overall: For those who appreciate Cascahuín’s unmistakable profile, this añejo delivers added weight and intensity at 44% ABV while preserving the earthy, mineral-driven character. The barrel influence is rich and expressive without veering into cloying sweetness while simultaneously balancing the savory and vegetal notes with remarkable poise. For the $83 I paid, I’m not sure what else I could ask for; this is simply exceptional. Having never had the 40% expression, maybe one day I’ll get to compare the two. ”
