Cambio continues to impress with their Rosa release. I have not been a big Rosa enjoyer across the board, but this one is head & shoulders superior to any other I’ve tasted. Wonderful integration of French wine casks on the distillate without getting too fruity or woody. I believe this is even fermented using French wine yeast. Outstanding, with an interesting sense of terroir.
This bottle shows the capability of John DeRosiers of Cambio… this is a work of ingenuity and brilliance, brought alive by a master chef and sommelier. From its bold aroma to its thick oily mouthfeel, this bottle hits on all cylinders. It’s still Tequila but damn does it explode with flavors indicative of Cambios core profile as well as many unique wine notes. I’ve never ordered a 2nd bottle faster than this one. I hope to be able to enjoy it for years to come. Bravo!

The Tequila 2025 stats are in and this is what they reveal: Our users are drawn to products that highlight craft and unique production processes.
Tequila brands – united through The Gente Buena Foundation’s Good Agave Pledge – announced their commitment to improving the difficult economic and environmental challenges faced by tequila workers in Mexico’s agave plant-producing regions.
While aficionados tend to prefer blanco tequilas, and imbibers of dark spirits usually gravitate towards añejos, the reposado category is often overlooked.
This is a really well balanced Anejo! It’s more on the fruit heavier side than I like but I will happily finish this bottle. The agave is there but the since it’s aged up to 22 months in a series of wine barrels, untoasted French oak barrels, toasted French oak barrels, and cognac casks, the fruit is the main flavor presence to me.
