What sets Cazadores Reposado apart begins with its careful crafting process. Made exclusively from 100% blue Weber agave, each plant is meticulously harvested at its peak maturity, ensuring only the finest quality ingredients. The agave hearts, or piñas, are then slowly cooked in traditional masonry ovens to release their sweet nectar, imparting a distinctive flavor profile that forms the foundation of Cazadores tequila.
After cooking, the agave is shredded and fermented using natural yeasts in wooden vats, a method that dates back generations and enhances the tequila's complexity. The fermented juice is then twice-distilled in copper pot stills, a technique that refines the spirit while preserving its character.
Cazadores Reposado Tequila, in particular, undergoes an additional step that sets it apart: aging for up to a year in American oak barrels. This process imparts a rich golden hue and adds nuanced flavors of vanilla and caramel to the spirit, balancing its herbal and citrus notes with a smooth, velvety finish.
Beyond its meticulous craftsmanship, Cazadores Reposado is deeply rooted in Mexican heritage and tradition. The brand takes pride in its commitment to sustainability, ensuring that each step of production respects the environment and supports local communities.
