Cazcanes No.7 Extra Añejo Tequila

Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo: 37 Months in Legendary American Whiskey Barrels

Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo is a small-batch tequila aged for an average of 37 months in re-charred American oak barrels sourced from some of the most storied names in American whiskey: Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Clermont, and Four Roses. Blended to taste, not to time, this tequila is carefully aged to preserve bold agave character without becoming over-oaked, resulting in a rare crossover of tequila craftsmanship and American whiskey barrel heritage.

Crafted in Amatitán, Jalisco, using 100% organic Blue Weber agave and natural volcanic spring water trucked in from Navichi Springs near Hostotipaquillo, Jalisco, a small portion of this tequila was finished with French oak staves for added depth, then carefully integrated into the final blend to bring refined complexity, enhanced texture, and layered nuance.

While the minimum aging requirement for an Extra Añejo is 36 months, Cazcanes goes well beyond simply meeting that standard. The team meticulously samples and blends barrels that have reached their peak character, allowing the interplay between agave and oak, rather than a fixed timeline, to dictate the final profile. Each barrel is chosen for its unique contribution to the final blend, enhancing depth, complexity, and structure. The agave is gently cooked in a low-pressure autoclave over a 24-hour cycle to preserve and intensify its pure flavors, then fermented in stainless steel vats with proprietary yeast and double distilled in stainless steel pots with copper coils. The tequila is certified organic, kosher, and verified additive-free.

Food Pairings

No. 7 Extra Añejo's rich, whiskey-barrel-influenced profile pairs beautifully with equally indulgent fare. Try it alongside dry-aged steak, smoked brisket, or an aged cheddar and charcuterie board, or lean into its dessert-friendly notes with apple pie, dark chocolate torte, or pecan pie.

Serving Suggestions

Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo is best enjoyed neat in a snifter or tasting glass, allowing its full complexity and whiskey-barrel character to fully unfold. As one of the most refined expressions in the Cazcanes lineup, it's best savored slowly rather than mixed, though it also makes a memorable base for a top-shelf, spirit-forward tequila Old Fashioned.
