Cazcanes Blanco No. 7 Tequila
Earthy, funky, and unmistakably agave-forward, Cazcanes Blanco No. 7 is the kind of blanco tequila that stops seasoned sippers in their tracks. Crafted by Master Distiller Francisco Jimenez, affectionately known as Don Chico, this expression from Amatitan, Jalisco is Confirmed Additive Free by Tequila Matchmaker and draws its character from water sourced at Navichi Springs.
Produced under NOM 1614, Cazcanes Blanco No. 7 leans into the terroir of the Amatitan region with an artisanal approach that lets the blue agave speak for itself. Don Chico's hands-on distillation philosophy prioritizes earth, funk, and raw agave intensity over the polished sweetness common in mass-market blanco tequilas, making this bottle a standout in any serious agave collection.
- Nose: Warm cooked agave, wet earth, and a distinctive hint of cotija cheese that signals something genuinely different in the glass.
- Palate: Full bodied with an oily, satisfying mouthfeel. Savory notes of roasted peppers and salted almonds are balanced by a bright, herbaceous citrus kick that keeps things lively.
- Finish: Long and lingering with a pleasing tannic quality and a cool whisper of mint on the way out.
The savory depth and herbal brightness of Cazcanes Blanco No. 7 make it a natural fit for a classic Margarita where its earthy backbone shines, or a Paloma where the citrus notes play beautifully against fresh grapefruit.
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complexity. Cazcanes Blanco No. 7 is a blue agave tequila rooted in the volcanic soils of Amatitan, Jalisco, and made for those who seek the real thing.
