Funky nose and palate. Not for me
Cazcanes rested some high-proof blanco into Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon French Oak casks for less than 2 months. This offering is coming in at 100 proof / 50% ABV. On the nose, I’m getting cooked agave with a hint of alcohol vapors. Some dry wood tannins are present but just past that are some softer notes of rose petals, red fruits, and a hint of a dry buttery cookie like a British biscuit. It’s a pleasant and unique nose. I taste the caramelized agave. It’s pleasantly sweet and spicy at the same time. The sweetness is part floral and part fruit. The Cab Sav FO influence is present but nicely balanced. The pepper has a nice tingling capsaicin effect on the younger and gums. The proof helps to deliver the flavors. This is an excellent Rosa.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
While aficionados tend to prefer blanco tequilas, and imbibers of dark spirits usually gravitate towards añejos, the reposado category is often overlooked.
