It’s no surprise that Mexico continues to be a top contender on people’s bucket lists due to its heat, culture, beaches, food and tequila. While we patiently wait for international travel to resume, gift your loved one an authentic Mexican experience this Christmas with Cazcabel Tequila – a range of premium tequilas that recently launched into Australia.
Blessed by Don Cazcabel, the mythical Mexican curador and “Snakeman” of the Jalisco Mountains, the range includes Blanco, Coffee, Reposado and Honey. Four award-winning generations continue to perfect every batch in an independent micro distillery in the highlands of the Jalisco Mountains, using the finest, locally grown, seven-year-old Blue Weber agave.
If your loved one is a fan of traditional tequila and spirits, then look no further.
