Product Description

Cazcanes No. 7 Añejo Tequila: Additive-Free Agave, Aged to Taste

Cazcanes No. 7 Añejo is a richly layered tequila built on one idea: let the taste decide, not the calendar. The brand says its añejo is “aged to taste, rather than time,” so the final blend is guided by flavor, not a fixed age. It’s a blend of barrels aged from one to just over two years, which keeps the vibrant agave character in front while adding rich barrel notes. The brand calls the result elegantly balanced and complex. It’s certified organic, kosher, and additive-free, per Cazcanes, so what’s in the bottle is agave, water, and oak.

Cazcanes No. 7 is a lineup of additive-free tequilas led by Master Distiller Collin Edwards, and the bottle is a custom, trademarked design. The Añejo sits between the Reposado and the Extra Añejo in the lineup.

How Cazcanes No. 7 Añejo Is Made

• Cooking: The agave is cooked in a low-pressure autoclave over a 24-hour cycle, which the brand says gently enhances and locks in the agave’s natural flavors.
• Extraction: The juice is pressed in a roller mill with four passes.
• Water: The brand uses natural volcanic spring water from the Navichi Springs in Mexico, trucked in for each production.
• Fermentation: In stainless steel vats with proprietary yeast.
• Distillation: Double-distilled in stainless steel pots with copper coils.
• Aging: In used American oak barrels that are reworked and recharred, for one to over two years, blended to taste.

It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in Jalisco, Mexico.

Tasting Notes

Color: Amber.

Nose: Heavy sweet agave, vanilla, and coconut, with a slight hint of nutmeg and chocolate. The brand’s longer notes also list crisp apple, almond cream, maple, citrus, cherry, anise, and cocoa.

Palate: Warm spices and vanilla with sweet undertones of coconut. The brand describes it as velvety and rich, with cooked agave, dark chocolate, and caramelized toffee.

Finish: Soft spice with hints of chocolate and vanilla, and a sweet, long-lasting finish.

It has also earned 94 points from the Beverage Testing Institute, according to the brand.

Food Pairings

The vanilla, chocolate, and toffee pair well with dark chocolate, flan, and churros. It also goes with grilled steak, mole, and roasted pork, and with aged cheeses and a good cigar.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it neat in a tulip glass or over a single large cube, so the oak and cooked agave come through. It also makes a good base for a tequila Old Fashioned or tequila Manhattan, where its barrel spice and dried-fruit notes stand up to bitters and vermouth.
