Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Smoke curls from the glass and you immediately want to taste it; Cazcanes Joven No. 7 opens with bright roasted agave, citrus zest and a warm black-pepper bite that leads to subtle earth and charred pineapple sweetness on the finish. Cazcanes Joven No. 7 is a joven mezcal from Mexico with an alcohol by volume of 45.00% and is made from agave that is typically roasted and then fermented and double-distilled in small batches. This mezcal pairs beautifully with grilled pork or a piece of dark chocolate, the smoke and fruit notes lifting savory meat and cutting through bittersweet cocoa.

Producer Information: Tequila Cazcanes

Tequila Cazcanes is produced in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico, where its founding team drew on local agave-growing traditions to establish a small-scale distillery focused on terroir-driven tequila; founded by producers rooted in Jalisco’s agave belt, the house emphasizes estate-sourced blue Weber agave, long slow baking and open-air fermentation to highlight floral and mineral notes distinctive to the Highlands, and a production philosophy that prioritizes small-batch, artisanal distillation and minimal intervention in aging and blending to let site character show. The brand markets a range of expressions across the tequila category, including Blanco, Reposado and Añejo bottlings, and maintains a reputation in the Tequila region for category-specific craftsmanship and a production focus on Highland agave sourcing and traditional techniques.
