Nuestras Raíces — Spanish for “Our Roots” — is a tribute to the deep-rooted traditions of agave distillation, crafted by Humberto Alvarado, a third-generation distiller in the heart of Jalisco. Using a centuries-old family recipe, Humberto preserves the true essence of agave, honoring time-honored methods that celebrate purity and craftsmanship.
Every batch of Nuestras Raíces is handcrafted using 100% Blue Weber agave. The piñas are hand-chopped, slow-cooked in a wood-fired autoclave, naturally fermented with wild yeast, and double-distilled in stainless steel stills with copper coils. Pure spring water, drawn just steps from the distillery, completes this additive-free spirit.
We call it “Jugo de la Selva” — Jungle Juice — a raw and unfiltered expression of agave in its wildest form. Nuestras Raíces is vibrant, vegetal, and intensely agave-forward, capturing the untamed character of agave in its purest state. Every drop embodies the hands that shaped it, the water that nourished it, and the ancestral knowledge that has stood the test of time.
On the nose, it is bright and herbaceous, with fresh lime, cut grass, grilled vegetables, mint, and grapefruit, layered with hints of roasted pepper and almonds. The palate offers a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel, leading into flavors of lemon, lime, intensely ripe cooked agave, and sea salt, followed by subtle notes of ripe cantaloupe and green apple. The finish is long and warming, with lingering cooked agave sweetness, bright citrus notes, and a subtle touch of minerality.
At 47% ABV, Cazcanes Nuestras Raíces delivers an authentic, powerful agave experience meant for true aficionados. Best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to unlock its full complexity.
