Cavas 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.
