Cazcanes Review
This great example of a joven — a blend of unaged and aged tequila — has it all. Composed of 59 percent blanco, 13 percent 10-month-old reposado, 26 percent 17-month-old añejo, and 2 percent 38-month-old extra-añejo, there is complexity for days. The blanco surely adds brightness and an agave-forward vibrancy, while the barrel-aged components inject hints of vanilla, caramel, and coconut cream pie all wrapped in a faint wisp of campfire smoke. For those who eschew aged tequila, they might want to give this joven a chance.
