AboutCavas de Don Max

The Becherano family makes Cantera Negra tequila at Cavas de Don Max in Jalisco. Don Alberto Becherano spent more than a decade refining the tequila before its release, originally pursuing a spirit to share with family and friends.

Cantera Negra means “black quarry,” a reference to the dark volcanic stone of the agave-growing landscape. Mature Blue Weber agave, water and yeast form the base of the tequilas, with former bourbon and Cognac casks used for the aged expressions.

Cantera Negra Reposado Tequila 750 mL

Mexican Tequila & Mezcal
$119.99
Roasted agave leads with orange zest, vanilla and polished oak. The palate is smooth and rounded, layering caramel, toffee and warm spice over a clear agave core. Time in former Cognac and bourbon barrels brings richness without burying the spirit’s freshness. The finish is medium and warming, leaving cinnamon, citrus, roasted nuts and a gentle peppery note. Serve neat or in a spirit-forward cocktail.
