Cabalitto Cerro Azul Anejo 48% 750ml Agave Spirits
| Description: | History,. 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 Fabricawhich shares the oldest archaeological site of agave distillation extant in Mexico, dating back to the 16th centuryCaballito 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 tequilas history, in general, and in particular, within the Amatitn 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 Amatitn region such as Azul, or Blue Weber (a. tequilana), and other agave varieties such as Chato (a. angustifolia). Tasting Notes,. Nose: The aroma of this anejo tequila reveals delightful notes of pear, peach, and floral tones. It offers a silky creme caramel profile with subtle hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, oak, and agave that remain prominent. Palate: The palate experiences a wave of perfume-like fruit and floral flavors, followed by mild pepper, vanilla, and a slight bitterness on the back of the tongue. It presents a harmonious blend of sweet and savory notes. Finish: The finish is long-lasting, warming, and characterized by lingering pepper and spices. It concludes with a slightly musty bitterness, providing a unique and memorable ending to the tasting experience. |
