The tequila marketplace is much more than blanco shooters with salt and lime. It’s advanced far beyond the blurry evenings of your college years into something much more nuanced. In fact, it’s as complex as the whiskey world if you know where to look. A great example is Cazcanes. Recently, this popular brand announced the launch of its Experimental Single Barrel series with two high-proof expressions: Cazcanes Reposado No. 9 Mirabelle Eau de Vie Single Barrel and Cazcanes Reposado No. 9 Apricot Brandy Single Barrel.

Each of these tequilas was matured in casks that previously held eau-de-vie and apricot brandy, respectively. But before that, both begin with certified organic Blue Weber agave, proprietary yeast, and spring water sourced from Navichi Springs.
Each release is a one-of-a-kind, limited edition with fewer than 300 bottles available. Each of these unique, fruity, flavorful reposado tequilas is bottled at a potent 100 proof.
According to Cazcanes, Mirabelle Eau de Vie Single Barrel is a multi-layered, memorable expression that’s centered on flavors like caramelized sugar, fig jam, brown butter, key lime pie, and licorice. The Apricot Brandy Single Barrel is nuanced and sippable, with flavors like toasted vanilla beans, bananas, caramel apples, and sea salt. Both of these releases are best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a splash or two of water to open up the aromas and flavors.
“Establishing our experimental offering marks an important moment in Cazcanes’ evolution,” says Edwin Dolgopyat, CEO of Cazcanes.
“These two barrels show what is possible when the same respect for agriculture, patience, intentionality, and precision is brought to tequila and its maturation. This platform gives us the freedom to explore while keeping agave at the center of every bottle, as it reinforces our reputation as an innovator that honors what nature reveals.”
