This premium brand is unveiling a collection of delectable cocktails, perfect for celebrating the season. The Cantera Negra portfolio, including Silver, Reposado, Añejo, Extra Añejo, and Café, stands out with no additives (except in the Café) and aging that exceeds the standard for Reposado and Añejo.
The story of Cantera Negra began around 40 years ago when Don Alberto Becherano took up tequila-making as a hobby.
After more than a decade of refining his craft, he created what many consider to be among the finest tequilas in the world. The name "Cantera Negra," translating to "Black Quarry," pays homage to the rich volcanic soil nurturing the agaves from which this tequila is crafted.
Handcrafted in small batches using 100% fully mature, late-harvest, Blue Weber agave, Cantera Negra's commitment to traditional production methods, without the use of sugars or colorings, ensures an all-natural product of outstanding quality.
The excellence of Cantera Negra Tequila is not just in its taste but in its very essence, a testament to a time-honored approach that allows the product to speak for itself.
