PRODUCT STORY
OVER 40 YEARS OF LEGACY IN JALISCO There’s a remote region in central Mexico where volcanic rock transforms the land and the taste of Cantera Negra — a line of ultra-premium tequilas ready to be discovered. Founded by Don Alberto Becherano, who has been perfecting the craft of tequila for over 40 years, Cantera Negra is 100% additive free tequila crafted from fully mature Blue Weber agave. Available in Silver, Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo.

VOLCANIC ORIGINS
HARVESTED FROM BLACK ROCK Cantera Negra — meaning “Black Quarry” — pays homage to the black volcanic soil found throughout Jalisco, Mexico. We harvest exclusively from this mineral-rich soil, selecting only the most mature Blue Weber Agave for its timeless taste. This rich volcanic soil imparts smoothness, minerality and complex flavors within each exceptional expression.

DISTILLED FOR REFINEMENT
EXCEPTIONALLY CRAFTED & AGED FROM THE PUREST BLUE WEBER AGAVE Cantera Negra’s unique flavor profile is crafted from agaves harvested in both the Highland and Lowlands of Jalisco. The Lowland agave contributes earthy and peppery flavors, while the Highland agave adds sweeter and fruity undertones to the taste profile of our liquid. Harvested at full maturity, the agave is then slow-cooked in autoclaves for an even, consistent profile. Each batch is twice-distilled and made with no additives to showcase the natural flavor, purity, and character of Jalisco. This slow hands-on approach reflects an unwavering commitment to distill each style with meticulous care.

EXTENDED AGING
AGED TO LUXURY STANDARDS Handcrafted and artisanal from start to finish, our aged expressions of Cantera Negra rest in re-charred ex-Cognac and Bourbon barrels, exceeding minimum requirements to deliver unparalleled smoothness and rich flavors. Made to luxury standards – from soil and harvest to aging and blending – Cantera Negra is personally evaluated by our tasting committee to ensure that every bottle meets exacting quality criteria.
