Caballito Cerrero Agave Tasting -- Lamp and Lantern


Caballito Cerrero Agave Tasting
This Saturday, June 21st, 1 - 4pm
The Wine and Cheese Place
195 Lamp and Lantern

Join Tyler Bryant of Bonded Beverage as he offers this rare opportunity to taste these small production Agave spirits including a rare "Unicorn ." These guys break all the rules despite using traditional methods handed down in the family for generations. Given the high cost of these mezcal spirits, there will be a $10 fee to taste through them.
The distillery (called Cielo Abierto) is run by 14th and 15th generation Tequileros and one of the few families that has a direct line to producers of vino del mezcal in the 1600’s. Ask for a mass produced brand at El Gallo Altanero, a hip, secret upstairs bar in the Americana section of Guadualajara, and a bartender will probably hand you a Caballito Cerrero instead. Sandwiched between massive Brown Forman owned, Herradura, and the oldest known Tequila distillery, Cielo Abierto is now an archeological site owned by the JimĂ©nez family and recognized by UNESCO. Caballito Cerrero looks to future innovation by maintaining traditions lost long ago.
