The Cazcanes Nuestras Raíces Still Strength Blanco Edición Especial 2025 is a rare, limited-edition expression of pure agave tradition. Bottled at 47% ABV, this still strength blanco is a tribute to heritage, handcrafted by Maestro Destilador Humberto Alvarado, a third-generation distiller in the heart of La Estancita, Jalisco—a hidden jungle village nestled between Tequila and Magdalena.
Nuestras Raíces—Spanish for “Our Roots”—honors centuries-old techniques and ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. Every bottle reflects Humberto's dedication to tradition and purity, using nothing but mature 100% Blue Weber Agave and natural spring water sourced just 100 meters from the still.
Crafted in extremely small batches, this blanco tequila preserves the raw, bold essence of El Valle agave—unfiltered, unadulterated, and completely additive-free. Available now at Nestor Liquor, this special edition is a must-have for tequila purists and collectors alike.
