Caballito Cerrero “Unicorn Azul” Tequila Blanco, 750 mL, 55 % ABV (110 proof)

This extremely limited release from Caballito Cerrero carries the nickname “Unicorn” for good reason—it is one of the rarest and most coveted bottles ever produced by the legendary Jalisco distillery. Crafted from 100% estate-grown Azul Tequilana (Blue Weber) agave, the spirit is distilled to an uncompromising still strength of 55% ABV, showcasing the raw character and depth of the plant without dilution. Only a tiny number of bottles—fewer than 200—were released worldwide, making it a true collector’s treasure.

The production is entirely traditional: mature agaves are harvested by hand, cooked in masonry ovens, crushed using roller mills, and fermented naturally in wooden vats before distillation in copper pot stills. The result is a blanco tequila that reveals an intensity rarely experienced—powerful yet precise, with a layered expression that reflects the skill of Caballito Cerrero’s masterful approach.

As part of a family-run legacy dating back to 1873, Caballito Cerrero has long been respected for refusing industrial shortcuts and operating outside the official tequila denomination to preserve authenticity. This Unicorn Azul bottling is the purest representation of that philosophy—unfiltered, undiluted, and released in quantities so scarce that each bottle instantly becomes an heirloom in any serious agave collection.

Caballito Cerrero is one of Mexico’s most respected and independent agave distilleries, with roots tracing back to 1873 in the town of Amatitán, Jalisco. Founded by Don Alfonso Jiménez Rosales—also a co-founder of Herradura—the brand has always stood apart by choosing authenticity over conformity. To this day, Caballito Cerrero is not certified under the official Tequila Denomination of Origin, operating instead under its own designation of “Destilado de Agave.” This independence allows the family to produce according to tradition and quality rather than commercial regulations.

The name “Caballito Cerrero,” meaning “The Untamed Horse,” reflects this philosophy: untamed, uncompromised, and resistant to outside control. Production remains small-scale and meticulous, relying on estate-grown agaves, masonry ovens, wooden fermentation vats, and copper pot stills. Unlike industrial tequila, no shortcuts or additives are ever used. The result is a portfolio of bottlings that represent the purest expression of agave, ranging from Azul (Blue Weber) to rarer varieties like Chato and others.

Highly sought after among connoisseurs and collectors, Caballito Cerrero releases are known for their scarcity, transparency, and unmatched integrity. Each bottle is a testament to the family’s legacy of resisting mass production in favor of honest craftsmanship—making the brand a true cult icon in the world of agave spirits.
