Caballito Cerrero (Ensamble) Azul and Chato Blanco
Limit 1 per Customer
Crafted by the legendary Jiménez family in Jalisco, Caballito Cerrero's spirits represent a return to the roots of agave distillation, embodying a rebellious spirit that "bucks the system." Because of their commitment to traditional, time-honored methods that go beyond the modern regulations of the CRT (Consejo Regulador del Tequila), these spirits are labeled as "Destilado de Agave," not tequila, making them a must-have for any serious agave aficionado.
This Ensamble blends two distinct agave varieties—the classic Blue Weber (Azul) and the rarer, estate-grown Angustifolia (Chato)—to create a complex and captivating expression.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose is an intriguing and lively bouquet. Notes of sweet, cooked agave jump out, mingling with earthy and mineral tones. Herbal and grassy aromas are present, accented by a subtle, funky quality. You may also detect hints of tropical fruit like pineapple and jackfruit, along with a whisper of anise and dill pickle.
- Palate: On the palate, this spirit delivers a powerful and layered experience. The rich, succulent agave character is at the forefront, followed by a bold burst of black pepper and cinnamon. There's a delightful interplay of savory and sweet notes, with hints of green olive, honey, and a touch of vanilla. The texture is often described as thick and oily, coating the mouth in a velvety sensation.
- Finish: The finish is long, dry, and memorable, leaving a warm, peppery sensation on the palate. Lingering notes of cooked agave and a subtle salinity give it a mouth-watering and refreshing conclusion. It’s a beautifully balanced and complex spirit that truly bridges the gap between traditional tequila and mezcal production styles.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
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.
