Soft and vanilla on the front end, gives way to some aggressive alcohol on the back end. This has a structure that lends itself well to cocktails and mixed drinks, I’d love to try a margarita with it!
A bit neutral on the nose and front palette, all the personality comes out on the back end, albeit with a healthy dose of alcohol. I’m not finding anything out of the ordinary good or bad, it’s a solid Tequila.

Cazcabel Blanco Tequila at $25-27 USD seems to be a good contender to some brands out there. The nose unfolds with scents of fresh grass, raw agave, and subtle caramel sweetness. Black pepper adds a spicy warmth, the aroma bouquet has a low complexity and herbaceous undertones that lend a touch of earthiness. Upon the first sip, the tequila reveals a robust raw agave flavor, accompanied by notes of caramel that give a balance between sweetness and bitterness. The addition of citrus imparts a refreshing zest, while a subtle astringency towards the back. White pepper intensifies the spicy profile, and a faint metallic sensation (perhaps from the autoclave) adds an intriguing layer to the overall complexity. For the price I think it really provides a good tequila and the bottle design is nice
Following ‘exceptional international growth’ in 2020, Cazcabel Tequila is planning to build a new distillery in Jalisco, Mexico.
Nice effort here, soft and balanced on the nose right through the aftertaste. Subtle vanilla and alcohol hits just right. Nice sipper.
