Nuestras Raíces

Find near you May 2, 2025!

Nuestras Raíces—Spanish for "Our Roots"—is a tribute to the deep-rooted traditions of agave distillation, crafted by Humberto Alvarado, a third-generation distiller in the heart of Jalisco. Using a centuries-old family recipe, Humberto preserves the true essence of agave, honoring time-honored methods that celebrate purity and craftsmanship.

We call it "Jugo de la Selva"—Jungle Juice—a raw and unfiltered expression of agave in its wildest form. Nuestras Raíces is vibrant, vegetal, and intensely agave-forward, capturing the untamed character of agave in its purest state. Every drop embodies the hands that shaped it, the spring water that nourished it, and the ancestral knowledge that has stood the test of time.

Bright and herbaceous, with notes of Fresh Lime, Cut Grass, Grilled Vegetables, Mint, and Grapefruit, layered with hints of Roasted Pepper and Almonds.

A lush, full-bodied mouthfeel leads into flavors of Lemon, Lime, intensely ripe Cooked Agave, and Sea Salt, followed by subtle hints of ripe Cantaloupe and a touch of Green Apple.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering Cooked Agave sweetness, bright Citrus notes, and a subtle touch of Minerality.

Awards & Accolades

Handcrafted using time-honored techniques

This small-batch agave distillate is
made entirely in La Estancita, a hidden jungle enclave between Tequila and Magdalena, Jalisco. It was here, in this remote village, that the foundation for Cazcanes' approach to tequila-making was shaped—where we first learned the craft, studied traditional techniques, and laid the foundation for how we craft Cazcanes today.

THE LOST ART OF TEQUILA MAKING

In today’s world of industrialized tequila, shortcuts are common, and authenticity is often the first thing sacrificed.

At Cazcanes, we’ve chosen a different path—reviving the traditional, time-honored methods that defined tequila before it became a commodity.

This isn’t just tequila—it’s the revival of a lost art.
