The Caballito Cerrero Blanco is a distilled agave spirit originating from Mexico, specifically from the region of Los Altos de Jalisco. It is a high-quality beverage that is produced artisanally, using traditional techniques and carefully selected raw materials. The name "Caballito Cerrero" refers to a wild horse that inhabits the region where this beverage is produced.

Caballito Cerrero is a Tequila company founded in 1968 by Don Alfonso Jiménez Rosales. It is considered one of the best tequila distilleries in the world.

Caballito Cerrero is made with maguey Chato, which in this case refers to an Agave Angustifolia, which is related to or synonymous with maguey Espadin. The agave is cooked in a brick steam oven, ground in a double pass mill, fermented in open stainless steel tanks with wild and patented yeast, and distilled in stainless steel and copper.

The Caballito Cerrero Blanco is made from tequilana agave, also known as blue agave, which is grown in the Los Altos de Jalisco region. This plant takes between 8 and 12 years to mature, making its production limited and requiring great attention and care. Once the agave reaches the proper maturity, it is harvested by hand and taken to the factory to begin the production process.

The production process of Caballito Cerrero Blanco begins with the cooking of the agave hearts in a stone oven, known as a conical oven. Once cooked, they are crushed and fermented in wooden vats for a determined period of time, before moving on to distillation.

The distillation of Caballito Cerrero Blanco is carried out in copper stills and is done twice to obtain a high-quality and pure beverage. During distillation, impurities are removed and the aromas and flavors of the agave are concentrated, resulting in a drink with a smooth and complex flavor.

Caballito Cerrero Blanco is characterized by its smooth and fresh taste, with floral and citrus notes. It can be enjoyed neat in a glass or in cocktails. A traditional way to enjoy Caballito Cerrero Blanco is with a slice of lemon and gusano salt, a salt made with maguey worm larvae that gives the drink a unique flavor. It can also be mixed with fruit juices or sodas to create personalized cocktails.
