Cazcanes Blanco No. 10 Still Strength Tequila

Cazcanes No. 10 Blanco Still Strength is an unaged blanco bottled at still strength, 54% ABV (108 proof), meant to show the raw, unaltered character of the agave. Cazcanes uses only three ingredients: 100% organic, hand-harvested blue Weber agave, volcanic spring water from the Navichi Springs in Hostotipaquillo, and its own proprietary yeast. The agave is cooked low and slow in an autoclave (8 hours under pressure, 8 hours of residual heat, 8 hours of cooling), roller-milled, and double distilled in stainless steel stills with copper coils under Master Distiller Don Chico. The label describes it as an estate-bottled, 100% puro de agave organic tequila, bottled at 54% ABV (108 proof) in a 750ml bottle.
