Overview
Blanco Tequila · 100% Blue Weber Agave · Los Altos (Highlands), Jalisco · 40% ABV

Cantera Negra Blanco is a 100% blue agave tequila out of the Highlands of Jalisco, bottled unaged straight off the still. No barrel time means what you get is the agave itself, fresh and clean, with a bit of citrus and an earthy, mineral edge from the volcanic soil it's grown in.

Crisp, a touch sweeter than most blancos, and easy to drink neat or in a cocktail.

Smooth, with a solid oak backbone. Good for sipping or as the base of a proper cocktail.

Distillery Information

Cantera Negra is made at Cavas de Don Max, S.A. de C.V. (NOM 1554) in Las Pintas, Los Altos, the Highlands region of Jalisco. The method behind it was developed by Don Alberto Becherano over more than 40 years. The brand itself now sits with Two Sons Imports, with Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits on board as global sales and marketing partner since late 2022.

Just agave, water, and yeast distilled from volcanic soil.

Who this bottle is for

This bottle is for the reposado drinker who wants more oak than the category usually delivers. If you find most reposados too light or too agave-forward, the ex-cognac and bourbon barrel combination here gives it a richer, more structured profile. It's also a good pick for whisky drinkers exploring tequila, and for anyone who wants a versatile bottle that works neat, over ice, or in a cocktail beyond the standard margarita.

How to enjoy

Good neat or over ice if you want the oak to shine. Also holds up well in an Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini, not just a Margarita.

Why we curate it

At Tequila Brothers, we recommend Cantera Negra Blanco for customers who want:

  • A blanco with real agave character up front
  • Minerality and a touch of sweetness you don't always get in a silver
  • An award-winning tequila at a fair price
  • A solid all-rounder for sipping or mixing

If you want a blanco that still tastes like something, this one delivers.
