Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo: Limited Edition Single Barrel
The Pinnacle of Time, Wood, and Spirit
The Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo is a masterpiece born from a relentless pursuit of perfection. The journey begins with the award-winning No. 7 Blanco, which is then entrusted to hand-selected ex-bourbon barrels. For 37 months, this spirit rested and evolved, absorbing the legacy of the charred American oak and the deep character of the bourbon it once held.
In a search for the extraordinary, a panel of tequila aficionados and industry luminaries tasted through numerous casks. Their consensus was unanimous: one singular barrel stood above the rest, resonating with unparalleled richness. To preserve its undiluted essence, this tequila was bottled at Barrel Strength (100 Proof). With only 180 bottles in existence, this is an elite collector’s item that represents the absolute summit of the Cazcanes portfolio.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A deep, lustrous mahogany with brilliant amber glints. The extended aging and barrel-strength proof create heavy, syrupy legs that cling to the glass, signaling immense concentration.
- Aroma: An intoxicating and layered bouquet. Initial notes of dark chocolate and toasted espresso give way to rich swirls of caramel and Madagascar vanilla. Beneath the sweetness lies the complexity of well-aged agave: cooked pineapple, tobacco leaf, and a sophisticated whisper of smoky oak.
- Palate: robust and full-bodied. The 100-proof entry is bold but velvety, coating the tongue with flavors of butterscotch, roasted nuts, and black cherry. The influence of the ex-bourbon barrel provides a spicy backbone of nutmeg and clove. At the same time, the heart of the blue agave remains remarkably present, offering an earthy, sweet vegetal core.
- Finish: Magnificently long and evolving. It leaves a warm, lingering trail of cinnamon spice, tannic oak, and a decadent hint of crème brûlée, a masterpiece of balance between the heat of the alcohol and the smoothness of the age.
The Anatomy of Aging
The interaction between high-proof tequila and charred bourbon staves over 37 months produces a chemical transformation, yielding a profile typically reserved for the finest cognacs or rare whiskeys.
This is not just a tequila; it is a narrative of passion and precision. Designed for the discerning palate, it should be enjoyed neat in a Glencairn or snifter to experience the unfiltered soul of the barrel.

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.
