Caballito Cerrero Azul Reposado

Caballito Cerrero Azul Reposado hails from Jalisco, Mexico, specifically the Tequila Valley within the Los Valles region. Crafted at NOM 1114, this destilado de agave represents a proud legacy untethered from modern tequila regulations, emphasizing pure, artisanal production methods. It is made entirely from Tequilana Weber agave grown in the region, which is slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens before being milled with a roller. Fermentation takes place in open-air stainless steel tanks using natural spring water, with no agave fibers left in the mix, resulting in a clean and vibrant profile.

The spirit undergoes double distillation in copper and stainless-steel pots, then rests in used bourbon barrels for a nuanced maturation. Despite its "reposado" designation, it maintains a bold character thanks to its high 46% ABV. On the nose, it opens with aromas of cooked agave, oak, and subtle vanilla. The palate offers a harmonious balance of rich caramel, toasted nuts, and earthy spice, with a lingering warmth that highlights its high proof without overwhelming the senses.

Best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water to unlock its complexity, Caballito Cerrero Azul Reposado is a versatile choice for sipping or elevating classic agave-forward cocktails. Its bold character and traditional production make it a standout among destilados de agave, perfect for enthusiasts seeking authenticity and depth.
