The Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 750ML is a distinct offering from the Caballito Cerrero brand. It is crafted using maguey Chato, which refers to the agave Angustifolia variety, often related to or synonymous with maguey Espadin. The production process involves cooking the agave in a brick steam oven, milling it in a double pass mill, and fermenting it for seven days in open stainless steel tanks with a combination of wild and proprietary yeast strains. The distillation occurs in stainless steel and copper stills, followed by aging for nine months in American Oak barrels.

While not technically certified as tequila or mezcal, the Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 offers a taste profile reminiscent of the unique spirit that made 'Vino de Mezcal de Tequila' famous in the late 19th century.

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: The color of this reposado is a light straw hue, considering its 9-month aging period. It appears oily in the glass, with long-lasting legs/tears.
  • Aroma: The aroma is delightful, showcasing strong agave notes and hints of butter and pepper. It presents a rich and characterful bouquet.
  • Taste: The palate experiences a full-bodied agave flavor complemented by buttery sweetness. It offers a more intriguing taste profile than the tequilana weber (el azul) variety, with subtle hints of nuts and citrus.
  • Finish: The finish is marked by pepper notes, warm and dark sweetness, and a medium-long duration. It provides a pleasant and smooth conclusion, combining refinement with a bold character.

The Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 750ML represents the brand's dedication to producing unique spirits. While not officially certified as tequila or mezcal, it captures the essence of the historic 'Vino de Mezcal de Tequila' and offers a smooth, refined, and characterful drinking experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.

Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.

However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.

Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.

Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.

One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.

Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.

In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
