Cazcanes No. 7 Blanco

92 SCORE

“‘Broader’ flavor group is majority ‘earth’. Finer flavor groups wet earth, white pepper, limestone. Some notes of olive, nuttiness, and even fresh oak. Agave is there but definitely not front and center. Little to no alcohol burn at 80 proof. For those that enjoy the earthier flavors, this tequila showcases them extremely well. I would imagine it would age into a very good repo/anejo. Overall an excellent tequila and even at about $75 is a good to great buy. ”

“Nose - Alcohol, light agave behind the alcohol. Taste - Almost an artificial like sweetness, light agave notes, a spicy heat that I don’t know I’d necessarily describe as ghost pepper or jalapeño Overall pretty decent. I can see this tequila as having a place in a mixed drink with a spicy heat. ”

“Nose - Loads of agave and alcohol Palette - More complex than the smell to me. Still heavy agave notes, but also some white pepper and citrus. Sometimes a sweet rock-candy like note. Not as much alcohol harshness as I expected from a 110 proof. Nice viscous mouth-feel. A fantastic price for a great tequila. ”
