Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Reposado High Proof Tequila

Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Reposado High Proof: Where Tequila Meets Napa Valley

Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Reposado High Proof is part of the Rosa Collection, reflecting Cazcanes' dedication to craftsmanship and innovation through a truly unique aging process. This expression begins with Cazcanes' award-winning Blanco, which is rested in French oak wine barrels that previously held Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Once emptied of wine, the barrels were promptly transported to Mexico and filled with Cazcanes Blanco, where the tequila aged for 82 days, developing a deep ruby hue and a richer, more nuanced flavor. The extended aging in wine barrels infuses the tequila with fruity undertones and a refined wine influence, elevating its complexity and depth well beyond a traditional reposado.

Part of Cazcanes' No. 9 lineup, Rosa Reposado is bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), delivering a bold, robust expression that captures the essence of Cazcanes Tequila at full strength. The result is a strikingly colored, complex tequila that's earned recognition across the spirits industry, including a Double Gold at the SF World Spirits Competition, a Gold at the Beverage Tasting Institute, a Gold at the SIP Awards, a Double Gold at The Global Tequila Awards, and a Best Reposado award from Bar & Trade International.

True to Cazcanes' philosophy, this is tequila made the old way, reviving traditional, time-honored methods in an industry where shortcuts have become common.
