The Not Tequila Set
These blue weber beauties are made from the same agave as Tequila, but in different terroirs and with slightly different techniques that make them outside of the legal definition of Tequila. A great chance to taste blue agave in a different context.
Set includes: Neta Tequilana Capon Mezcal, Rancho Tepua Blanco Bacanora, Caballito Cerrero Azul Blanco 46
Caballito Cerrero Azul Blanco 46 Caballlito Cerrero has a cult-like following among tequila aficionados worldwide, and the true die-hards that visit Guadalajara in person search high and low for these bottlings. Aromas of sweet bright green agave fruit, freshly wet salted limestone. Notes of cracked white pepper, anise and a milk chocolatesque finish.
Neta Tequilana Capon Produced by Ramon and Wilfredo Garcia Sanchez, with agave grown by their uncle, these capon magueyes or agaves were harvested and processed with great care, creating a fantastic interplay between the recognizable flavors of the agave most known for its use in tequila with the robust particularities of the region and the family's palenque.
Rancho Tepua Blanco Bacanora Bacanora is a regional mezcal from the northwestern state of Sonora, made from a regional varietal of the Agave Angustifolia Haw, variously called Agave pacifica, or Agave Bacanora, locally.Rancho Tepua is made by the Contreras family, who established hidden distilleries at Rancho Tepúa to continue the tradition during Bacanora's prohibition. It is now distilled by a 5th generation Maestro Bacanorero.
