Because Chato is not Blue Weber agave, it is labelled as a destilado de agave rather than tequila, though it is made with tequila-making traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChato is a subvarietal of Agave angustifolia endemic to Jalisco, one of many types of agave historically used to make tequila before Blue Weber became the rule; in Oaxaca, angustifolia is better known as Espadín. Caballito Cerrero was founded in 1950 by Don Alfonso Jiménez Rosales and is considered one of the top tequila distilleries in the world. It is committed to producing the traditional way, even when that means stepping outside the official definitions of the Consejo Regulador del Tequila.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spirit is made at Fábrica Santa Rita (NOM 1114) by maestro tequilero Javier Jiménez Vizcarra. The agave is steam cooked in a 150-year-old brick oven, mechanically milled, open fermented for seven days in stainless steel and distilled twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect sweet cooked agave with vegetal, mineral and earthy notes, wildflower honey and citrus on the nose, and cooked agave, white pepper, herbs, fennel and cinnamon on the palate, with a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare taste of tequila's history, it makes a fine gift for agave explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanco tequila is bottled unaged or rested for less than two months, so it shows the agave at its purest: bright, peppery and fresh. It is the classic choice for margaritas and palomas, and a good blanco is just as rewarding sipped neat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caballito Cerrero, Fábrica Santa Rita (NOM 1114)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Destilado de Agave, Blanco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chato (Agave angustifolia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat to explore the Chato character, or try it in a Paloma.
