Tequila Cazcanes
Cazcanes is an additive‑free, small‑batch tequila brand built around traditional methods, single‑source Navichi spring water, and a production profile rooted in NOM 1614 in Amatitán. Their process—organic agave, low‑pressure autoclave, roller mill, open‑air fermentation, and stainless pot stills with copper coils—positions them firmly in the authenticity‑driven segment alongside Fortaleza, G4, and Wild Common. Their identity leans heavily on heritage storytelling, referencing an indigenous recipe and a revivalist ethos that appeals to enthusiasts and purists.
Their lineup is structured around proof levels, with No. 7 (80 proof), No. 9 (100 proof), and No. 10 (108 proof) forming the core, plus the wild‑fermented Nuestras Raíces series. Critics consistently highlight the high‑proof blancos as the standouts, delivering strong agave character, minerality, and layered spice. Strategically, Cazcanes sits in the premium but not ultra‑luxury tier, making it well‑suited for connoisseur markets, trade tastings, and mixology programs where authenticity and production transparency drive value.
