Caballito Cerrero Chato Blanco 46 is a traditional destilado de agave produced in Amatitn using Chato agave (Agave angustifolia), a variety rarely seen in tequila production. Its bottled at 46% ABV, giving it more intensity and structure than most blancos, and its made with a firmly old-school approach that emphasizes fermentation character and raw agave expression.
The nose leans savory and aromatic, with cooked agave, green herbs, citrus, and a distinct briny edge. On the palate, its textured and full, showing olive, fresh vegetal notes, mint, and pepper layered over a core of sweet agave. The higher proof brings a noticeable lift, carrying through to a long, warm finish with spice and mineral notes.
This is not a polished, easygoing blanco. Its a more rustic, expressive style that leans into tradition and character, built for people who want to see a different side of agave spirits. Best suited for sipping, especially if youre exploring beyond standard tequila profiles.
