Cantera Negra Silver 750mL

In a remote region of central Mexico, Cantera Negra harnesses the transformative power of volcanic rock to shape both the land and the distinct taste of their tequilas. Harvesting only the most mature Blue Weber Agave from this fertile soil, their tequilas are meticulously crafted with no additives. Over 40 years ago, Don Alberto Becherano began making tequila with his family as a hobby, dedicating a decade to perfecting his method and gaining popularity within the community. Today, the Becherano Family continues this legacy, producing tequila now known as Cantera Negra. The name, meaning "Black Quarry," pays homage to the black volcanic rock found in the agave fields of Jalisco, Mexico, resulting in an award-winning tequila portfolio celebrated for its unique minerality and smoothness. Patience is a guiding principle in Cantera Negra's process, allowing their agaves to reach full maturity before hand-harvesting from rich volcanic soil. The agave undergoes a meticulous process of cooking, shredding, fermentation, and distillation, with the tequila finally bottled as Cantera Negra Silver. This unaged tequila reflects the brand's commitment to authenticity and purity, devoid of additives. Cantera Negra Silver, presented in a 750 ml bottle with 40% alcohol by volume (80 proof), stands out for its distinctive minerality and cooked agave notes. This Silver expression offers beautiful citrus notes on the nose, culminating in a perfectly smooth and spicy finish on the palate. It embodies the brand's dedication to creating a truly superior product that captures the essence of the region and showcases the artistry of the tequila-making process.
