Caballito Cerrero 'Tequiliana Weber - Azul' Destilado de Agave Blanco

Caballito Cerrero 'Tequiliana Weber - Azul' Destilado de Agave Blanco

Regular price $74.00

The blanco expression from Caballito Cerrero, distilled entirely from Agave tequilana Weber Azul, presents a profile that feels both archetypal and quietly rebellious against its tequila lineage. On the nose, it opens with vivid cooked agave framed by saline minerality, green pepper, and a lift of eucalyptus and citrus peel, before deeper tones of sandalwood, buttercream, and faint chocolate-cherry sweetness emerge. The palate shows a compelling interplay of sweet and savory, with notes of candied yam, sea salt, and roasted vegetal character layered alongside peppery brightness and a cooling herbal edge that hints at its wild fermentation and minimally regulated origins. Structurally, it reflects the DNA of its progeny, drawing on classic lowland tequila markers such as black pepper, brine, and citrus, yet amplifying them with a more rustic, mezcal-adjacent intensity that is free of smoke but rich in earth and fermentation character. The finish is long, mineral, and gently warming, tapering through lingering agave sweetness, spice, and a stony dryness that speaks to both its historic production methods and its defiant position outside formal denomination.

Details

From our Importer: Caballlito Cerrero has a cult-like following among tequila aficionados worldwide, and the true die-hards that visit Guadalajara in person search high and low for these bottlings.

Produced at the legendary Santa Rita Fabrica—which shares the oldest archaeological site of agave distillation extant in Mexico, dating back to the 16th century—Caballito Cerrero has had a tumultuous and thrilling career. The brand, whose mantra states “El que no necesita Herraduras” (or, “the one that does not require horseshoes”) was created in 1950 by Don Alfonso Jimenez Rosales when he separated from Tequila Herradura, a company he co-founded. In 2018, the family made the decision to cease calling their product tequila, in defiance of the industrialization of the category, in order to respect the growing and distillation traditions of tequila’s history, in general, and in particular, within the Amatitán region where Caballito Cerrero is made.

The Jimenez family maintains absolute respect for a 100%-agave product, just as their ancestors did for fifteen generations, using only mature agaves from the Amatitán region such as Azul, or Blue Weber (A. tequilana), and other agave varieties such as Chato (A. angustifolia).
