Cenote Tequila Blanco 40% 700ml

Where Clarity Meets Character
 

There's weight in this pour. Not from heaviness, but from history - agave grown in volcanic soil, shaped by fire, rested in oak, and bottled without urgency. Cenote Anejo doesn't rush to impress. It takes its time, and it tastes like it.

Made from 100% Blue Weber agave and aged for over a year in American oak, this expression moves with purpose. Its name honours the sacred cenotes of the YucatAn - deep natural wells that held life, ceremony, and silence. That reverence carries through in the spirit itself. This isn't just about flavour. It's about presence.

The nose comes alive with warm caramel, baked agave, and toasted spice. There's orange oil in there too, and a hint of charred coconut - the kind that lingers in the air long after a fire's gone cold. It's not loud. It's layered.

On the palate, the structure holds. Butterscotch, cinnamon, and roasted agave take the lead. Then the oak opens - smooth, dry, steady - carrying notes of black pepper, cocoa husk, and dried citrus peel. The texture is round, not soft. The smoke is subtle, but woven deep. You taste the barrel, but also the still. The agave stays visible through it all.

The finish is long and clean. No burn. No residue. Just warmth, a trace of spice, and the suggestion of something older than what's in the glass.

Cenote Anejo belongs in good company. It's best served neat or over a single cube - something to draw out its tone, not cover it. In a cocktail, it plays best where oak and spirit lead: an Anejo Old Fashioned with restraint, or a stirred-down riff with amaro and cacao bitters.

This isn't an attempt at luxury. It doesn't need to perform. It's simply a well-made, well-aged tequila with all the right parts in place - balance, texture, identity. Nothing overdone. 

Nothing missing.

Just a solid, grounded expression of time, agave, and oak doing exactly what they're supposed to.
