Why this bottle is exciting
Unlike most reposados, the whiskey barrel is not the star.
Using a 4th-use American oak barrel means very little vanilla or heavy oak is extracted. Instead, the barrel gently rounds the spirit while allowing the cooked agave to remain the dominant flavor. This is for serious agave enthusiasts.
Caballito Cerrero is also famous for refusing to conform to the modern CRT tequila regulations, so although this is made from Blue Weber agave in Amatitán, Jalisco, it is legally sold as a Destilado de Agave rather than tequila. That independence has made it something of a cult producer among agave aficionados.
