Cazcanes No. 10 Still Strength Blanco

83 SCORE

“The bottle this tequila is bottled in is truly impressive, exuding a high-end aura from the moment you lay eyes on it. When you first approach the bottle, you're greeted by subtle agave notes. There's a distinct hint of pine and perhaps even a touch of lime, making this tequila uniquely intriguing. Upon the first sip, it warms your palate as expected, offering a pronounced lime and vanilla flavor profile. It's a departure from the typical high-proof tequilas like Fortaleza, Siembra Valles, or Wild Common which often deliver powerful explosions of flavor. Instead, this tequila pleasantly surprises with its delicate yet complex taste, characterized by robust lime accents. The nose is equally delightful, with a floral bouquet complemented by mineral notes and a pronounced lime presence. The finish is a long and lingering one, leaving behind a peppery afterburn that adds to the overall experience. This tequila stands out not only for its impressive bottle but also for its unique and flavor profile. It's a departure from the norm for high-proof blancos, offering a smooth and complex character with a strong emphasis on lime. If you appreciate high-proof tequilas, this one is definitely worth a try. ”

“This high-proof Blanco tequila, clocking in at 54% abv, offers a truly captivating experience for agave enthusiasts. Upon nosing, it greets you with an enchanting aroma of cooked agave, reminiscent of the ovens at the distillery as they open to reveal the freshly cooked agave. Complementing this are notes of cinnamon, baking spices, butter, citrus, and white pepper, creating a nose that's nothing short of remarkable. Taking your first sip, you'll find that this Blanco envelops your palate in a super oily, silky-smooth texture, providing an excellent mouthfeel. The rich, cooked agave flavor takes the forefront, akin to savoring freshly cooked agave from the ovens. This is followed by natural caramelized sugar notes, a buttery essence, hints of citrus, and a remarkably rich cinnamon note that lingers on your tongue, offering an exquisite finish. What makes this Blanco particularly outstanding is its dedication to being additive-free. For those who appreciate the pure essence of tequila, free from any additives, this is a true gem. The high proof adds an extra layer of intensity to the experience, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the bold and robust character of high-proof blancos. This high-proof, additive-free Blanco tequila is a must-try for agave aficionados. It delivers an authentic cooked agave flavor profile, and the high proof elevates the experience, making it an absolute delight for those who crave bold, unadulterated tequila flavors. ”
