Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 750 ML

The Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 750ML is a distinct offering from the Caballito Cerrero brand. It is crafted using maguey Chato, which refers to the agave Angustifolia variety, often related to or synonymous with maguey Espadin. The production process involves cooking the agave in a brick steam oven, milling it in a double pass mill, and fermenting it for seven days in open stainless steel tanks with a combination of wild and proprietary yeast strains. The distillation occurs in stainless steel and copper stills, followed by aging for nine months in American Oak barrels.

While not technically certified as tequila or mezcal, the Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 offers a taste profile reminiscent of the unique spirit that made 'Vino de Mezcal de Tequila' famous in the late 19th century.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: The color of this reposado is a light straw hue, considering its 9-month aging period. It appears oily in the glass, with long-lasting legs/tears.
• Aroma: The aroma is delightful, showcasing strong agave notes and hints of butter and pepper. It presents a rich and characterful bouquet.
• Taste: The palate experiences a full-bodied agave flavor complemented by buttery sweetness. It offers a more intriguing taste profile than the tequilana weber (el azul) variety, with subtle hints of nuts and citrus.
• Finish: The finish is marked by pepper notes, warm and dark sweetness, and a medium-long duration. It provides a pleasant and smooth conclusion, combining refinement with a bold character.

The Caballito Cerrero Chato Reposado 46 750ML represents the brand's dedication to producing unique spirits. While not officially certified as tequila or mezcal, it captures the essence of the historic 'Vino de Mezcal de Tequila' and offers a smooth, refined, and characterful drinking experience.
