When you want the agave character of a great blanco with a little oak softness layered on top, Cazcanes No. 7 Reposado is the bottle, and it is one of the most rewarding sippers on our list at Camp West in West Seattle. Additive-free and carefully rested, it bridges the gap between bright, vegetal blanco and richer aged tequila. For guests who love a reposado that still tastes like the agave, this is the one we love to pour.
About the Producer
Cazcanes is built around additive-free, single-source tequila made in Amatitán, Jalisco, by master distiller Francisco Jiménez (“Don Chico”). The brand is known for its transparency, its use of exclusively sourced volcanic spring water, and certifications including organic and verified additive-free status. Cazcanes has earned a devoted following among enthusiasts who prize purity.
Agave & Region
Cazcanes No. 7 is a reposado (rested) tequila made from 100 percent blue Weber agave in Amatitán, Jalisco. It is rested in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for up to roughly eleven months, with the brand aging “to taste” rather than to a fixed schedule. That measured time in oak adds gentle structure and warmth while keeping the agave front and center. It is additive-free, like the rest of the Cazcanes lineup.
Tasting Notes
Cazcanes No. 7 marries cooked agave with light, well-judged oak. Expect notes of vanilla, soft caramel, and baking spice layered over the bright, mineral agave core, with a smooth, lingering finish. The barrel influence is present but restrained, so the tequila keeps its character rather than tasting like a whiskey. It is balanced, polished, and very easy to keep sipping.
How to Enjoy It at Camp West
This is a sipping reposado, best enjoyed neat so you can appreciate the interplay of agave and oak. A single large ice cube is fine if you prefer it chilled. It also makes a richer, rounder Old Fashioned-style tequila cocktail. Our pour is $23. Order it after dinner and let it unwind slowly.
