Caballito Cerrero Chato Blanco 46 Destilado de Agave 750ml

Caballito Cerrero Chato Blanco 46 is an unaged agave spirit made from 100% agave chato at Fábrica Santa Rita (NOM 1114) in Amatitán, Jalisco, bottled at 46% ABV. Agave chato is an Agave angustifolia variety, related to espadín, that was used in the region before Blue Weber became the required tequila agave; the spirit is sold as Destilado de Agave. Caballito Cerrero Chato 46: A Taste of Pre-Blue Weber Jalisco Before tequila rules settled on Blue Weber, Jalisco distillers worked with several agave types. The Jiménez family at Fábrica Santa Rita keeps that history alive with agave chato, which gives a spirit that is more herbal, earthy and rounded than a typical Blue Weber blanco. Because chato is not an approved tequila agave, Caballito Cerrero bottles it as Destilado de Agave. Made at Fábrica Santa Rita, Amatitán, Jalisco Fábrica Santa Rita was built in 1873 in the Barranca de Tecuane ravine near Amatitán and is run by a family with generations of agave-distilling history. Agave is cooked in brick ovens and processed with water from a natural spring on the property. No additives are used, according to Sip Tequila's production notes. Tasting Notes Nose: Intensely vegetal and herbal, with cooked agave and wet stone. Palate: Earthy and round, with green herbs, pepper and ripe agave sweetness. Finish: Long, mineral and gently spicy. How to Serve Caballito Cerrero Chato 46 Sip it neat at room temperature or over a single large cube to let the chato character show. Taste it side by side with Caballito Cerrero Azul to compare the two agave varieties.
