On the nose it’s very mellow with nice sweet agave and essence of soft fruit grapes. Pallet is dry with cooked agave, fruit, and caramel

No 9 blanco is a great base. So far I am not a big fan of blancos rested in wine casks but this was good. I’d certainly drink it again. It is nice and fruity. Not a lot of agave shining through and I want that from a blanco. Pretty dark for a rested blanco. Tells me that it took on a lot of the barrel and it taste like it did. Give this a try as it may be just what you are looking for

Delicious Rosa / blanco. Dark color, imparting some great barrrl / wine notes. Love this high proof, flavor forward tequila

Tasted at the Additive Free Week Event

Sampled at LATF, will like to revisit in a near future Love the proof at 50% (Dried Fruits & Astringent finish)

Sept 2023 tasted at LATF. it was a tiny sample so I want to revisit and will update my notes accordingly revisited at ttap distillery Oct 2023 adjusted rating

Tasted during 2023 Additive Free Week. I’m not usually a Rosa style fan but this is one of the best versions of it. Love that it’s high proof! Will need to revisit when I can grab a bottle and enjoy a glass again. Revisited Aug 2024: 2nd batch I think. Aged 31 days. Floral citrus lime aroma. Flavors of agave, white pepper, tart apple with a nice finish. Very nice.

Rosa Blanco Single Barrel- 90 Rosa Blanco Blend- 90

Tasted at start of Additive Free week, dinner

Cazcanes #9 Blanco Rosa Single Barrel Nose: A gentle nudge of minerals. Lavender. Orange blossom honey. Baking spice, delicate vanilla, and citrus oils. Blueberry, black cherry and nostalgic memories of sipping Welches Concord Grape juice on a summer day. Lightly toasted oak and trace mustiness. Flavor: Thick and velvety. Modest pepper attack awakens the senses. Mellow, medium tannins (in no way arid or astringent), provide a backbone from which to hang some intensely fruity flavors. The big, gutsy fruit and floral elements found in the aromas, follow through to the palate; along the path picking up blackberry, crème de cassis, salted caramel and spikes of dark chocolate. An array of aromatics and flavors carry you along a leisurely, lip tingling, warm finish.

Batch No. BR92401, tasted on 8-25-24. Color: yellow with an orange hue. Aroma: light cooked agave, ethanol sourness, light orange, hint of a grease note, light earthiness, herbaceous, hint of vanilla, hay. Light raw agave. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, greasy & herbaceous notes are more noticeable on the palate, it is also sweeter on the palate. Hint of orange through my retronasal. Finish is medium to long, light raw agave, hint of cooked agave, light orange, herbaceous with light earthy note persists.

For a first timer on Rosa’s. Nose: Fruity, Floral, Agave, Alcohol, Minerals, Palate: Instant fruit (grapes, berries), Cooked Agave, Bit of alcohol. Finish: for being a first time Rosa drinker, I will entertain again in few weeks, might open up little more. Will update in 1/2 weeks.

Cazcanes comes through again! I’m really glad I bought two bottles of the 2024 Batch No. BR92401. Nose: Agave, citrus, light pepper, and minerals. Taste: Agave, cinnamon, with a hint of wine on the finish. I highly recommend grabbing this expression before it’s too late, definitely worth the money!

Bottle: Batch No: BR92401 Appearance: Luxury rosegold Nose: Cooked and raw agave, white pepper, butter, toasted bread, flowers, orange blossom, lavender, alcohol, cinnamon, lactic, honey, fruity, baked apple, white grape, peach, raspberry, citrus, lime, and minerality…like a tequila moscato, if that makes sense Palate: Cooked agave, lactic, butter, toasted bread, black and white pepper, flowers, lavender, chamomile, fruity, raspberry, blueberry, white grape, baked apple, peach, dry earth, butter, cinnamon, citrus, lime, and alcohol…very similar to the nose, with a tad more fruitiness and tannic dryness Finish: Cooked agave, lactic, toasted bread, black cherry, white grape, flowers, and alcohol…medium-length, dry, and thicker viscosity Overall:

I can’t stress this enough, let it open up in your glass for 15 or so minutes. Worth the wait, another banger from Cazcanes.

Cazcanes just doesn’t do it for me. Not a massive fan of Rosas but this one carry’s quite a bit of alcohol burn and bitterness (yes I let it rest for 20 min)… not worth its price tag. Nose- alcohol, cinnamon, pepper Taste- agave, alcohol, pepper, sweetness (cherries?)

Nose - cooked agave, alcohol, vegetal, citrus Palette- cooked agave, cinnamon, pepper Finish - Agave, pepper and cinnamon

Wine barrel notes add an interesting twist to an already fantastic tequila.

Wasn't a fan on initial taste, but after letting it sit for 15 minutes, this creamy mouthfeel took over. Glad there's a few bottles purchased for later revisiting

Really fruity on the nose. My favorite rosa I’ve had. Wish the bottles were numbered.

Very Tasty. Fruity and good minerality. Love the higher proof!
