Our Process

Crafted with Intention,
Rooted in Tradition

Hand-Selected Organic Agave

We harvest 100% organic Blue Weber Agave by hand, selecting each plant at peak sugar levels to deliver the bold, agave-forward flavor that defines Cazcanes. Once harvested, the piñas are slow-cooked and passed through our roller mill to extract their rich, natural sweetness.

PURE VOLCANIC
SPRING WATER

Our water begins as rainfall high in the untouched peaks of the Sierra Madre Occidental. As it journeys through layers of volcanic rock, it becomes naturally filtered and mineral-rich—emerging at the Navichi Springs in Hostotipaquillo, where we source this pristine, artesian volcanic spring water for every drop of Cazcanes.

A Slow-Cooked Method

We cook our agave using a low-and-slow autoclave process: 8 hours under gentle pressure, 8 hours of residual heat, and 8 hours of natural cooling. This deliberate method preserves the plant’s sweetness while unlocking deep, complex flavors.

Fermentation, the
Cazcanes Way

Fermentation begins with our proprietary yeast, originally derived from wild, naturally occurring strains. This slow, open-air process builds layers of flavor before distillation in our traditional alembic stills.

Every detail matters—from start to finish—until each small batch is ready to be bottled in our distinctive, trademarked glass bottles.

OUR DISTILLATION

Our tequila is double-distilled in stainless steel stills with copper coils. Under the guidance of Master Distiller Don Chico, we carefully monitor each run, selecting only the most expressive cuts to ensure a balanced, flavorful spirit in every batch.

Aged to taste,
rather than time

At Cazcanes, we don’t age by a clock—we age by character. Every barrel is opened, smelled, and tasted throughout the maturation process. When each barrel tells us it’s ready, we carefully select and blend them to achieve a balanced, expressive final profile. This hands-on approach ensures each aged expression reaches its full potential before it’s bottled. We age to taste, not time.
