Tequila Caballito Cerrero Reposado

The brand was established in 1930 by Don Alfonso Jimenez Rosales who was one of the owners of Tequila Herradura. When he separated from Herradura he came out with his own tequila brand named Caballito Cerrero and printed on the label the phrase “Caballito Cerrero no necesita a Herradura”, which translated into English means that wild horses do not need horseshoes.

Now with the new owner (Ing. Alfonso Serrano) with a new label and redesign bottle Tequila Caballito Cerrero has reached new levels of popularities around the world. It is now available in Europe, Asia and now in the United States through Selective Spirits, Inc.

It is made with 100% state grown mature Blue Weber Agave Tequilena grown naturally in the highland of Jalisco.

Every Agave plant is carefully pick after 7 years by measuring the sugar contain and only those that meet the highest sugar content and standards are harvested.

After the Agave plants are harvested they are slowly cooked in autoclaves by a natural steam process that takes about 24 to 32 hours to complete.

Once cooked to perfection, the Agave plant is carefully removed and grinded to abstract the rich agave juices, which are then sent to the fermentation tanks.

The fermentation process is all natural with no chemicals added to speed up the fermentation. This process takes about 3 to 5 days depending the weather and temperature.

Double distilled and soften down with natural spring water from the high mountains of Jalisco.

Rested 6 months on White American Oak barrels previous used to aged bourbon and whiskey.

Winner of the 2008 for the best reposado of Mexico by the Mexican Academy of Tequila, and was awarded the “Diosa Mayahuel” for its outstanding quality.
