Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Blanco Tequila – 100 Proof (50% ABV) | 750ml

Bold, vibrant, and uniquely influenced by wine-seasoned oak, Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Blanco Tequila brings together high-proof tequila and a short maturation in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon casks. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this distinctive Rosa expression spends 31 days in first-fill French oak casks, adding layers of fruit and oak complexity while maintaining the fresh agave character expected from Cazcanes.

Process & Aging

Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Blanco begins with the agave-forward foundation characteristic of Cazcanes tequila before undergoing a distinctive short maturation designed specifically for this Rosa expression.

The tequila is placed in first-fill French oak casks previously used for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 31 days. This brief period of contact with wine-seasoned French oak allows the tequila to develop additional fruit, tannin, and barrel character without the extended maturation associated with traditional aged tequila.

After 31 days, the finished tequila is bottled at a substantial 50% ABV (100 proof), preserving the intensity and structure of the spirit.

Appearance

Delicate blush and pale rosé hues influenced by its brief maturation in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon-seasoned French oak casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh agave leads with layers of red fruit, citrus, subtle floral notes, and French oak.

Palate: Bold and concentrated with cooked agave, ripe fruit, gentle wine-driven sweetness, pepper, citrus, and subtle oak. The 100-proof bottling strength adds structure and intensity while allowing the agave to remain prominent.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering agave, fruit, pepper, and subtle French oak character.

What Makes It Special

The defining feature of Cazcanes No. 9 Rosa Blanco is its unusual combination of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon casks, first-fill French oak, and a precise 31-day maturation.

Rather than relying on extended barrel aging, Cazcanes uses a relatively brief period in wine-seasoned oak to introduce additional color and flavor while retaining the brighter qualities of the underlying tequila.

The use of Cabernet Sauvignon casks from Napa Valley contributes a wine-driven dimension, while French oak provides additional structure and complexity. At 100 proof, the resulting tequila maintains a bold presence that complements the influence of the casks.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tequila tasting glass to appreciate the interaction between fresh agave and Cabernet Sauvignon cask influence. Allow it several minutes to rest after pouring to reveal additional fruit and oak characteristics.

At 100 proof, a few drops of water can also help open the tequila and soften its intensity while revealing additional aromatic complexity.
