Born in Amatitan, Jalisco, the birthplace of Tequila itself, Caballito Cerrero Chato Blanco is a pure agave mezcal crafted by 14th and 15th generation tequileros using estate-grown Agave chato, a varietal prized for its intensely vegetal and herbal character. This is a spirit with deep roots and a fearless identity, one of the most revered pours among the next generation of agave enthusiasts from Guadalajara to Mexico City.


Produced at Fabrica Santa Rita under NOM 1114, this blanco mezcal follows a pure agave style with no additives, allowing the naturally ripe, high-minerality chato agave to speak for itself. Caballito Cerrero holds the distinction of being the first producer in the Amatitan region to use the term Tequila, and that legacy of pioneering craft is alive in every bottle of this expression.


  • Nose: Cooked agave, baked bread, broiled grapefruit, and a clean lift of alcohol that opens the palate with intention.
  • Palate: Green bell pepper and anise lead into layers of cooked agave, fresh cream, tangerine, and vanilla for a balance of vegetal depth and natural sweetness.
  • Finish: Clean milk chocolate with lasting agave and vegetal notes that linger gracefully.

The Chato Blanco holds its own in a Mezcal Negroni or a Tommy's Margarita, where its herbal backbone and natural sweetness elevate the build without overpowering the glass.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the agave chato from Amatitan, Jalisco fully express itself. A striking etched bottle makes this an exceptional gift for any serious agave aficionado.

Distillery: Fábrica Santa Rita
Caballito Cerrero is made by the Jiménez family at Fábrica Santa Rita, built in 1873 in the Barranca de Tecuane in Amatitán. Don Alfonso Jiménez Rosales left Tequila Herradura in 1950 to start it, naming it for the untamed horse that needs no horseshoes. Mature agave from Amatitán is cooked in masonry ovens, crushed in a three-roller mill and fermented for seven days in open steel tanks with wild yeast and spring water. It is distilled first in a steel still, then in copper. The family now bottles it as Destilado de Agave rather than tequila, carrying on fifteen generations of agave work.
LOCATION

Amatitán, Jalisco

Amatitán sits in the Tequila valley of Jalisco, a short drive southeast of the town of Tequila. Half of the municipality is flat farmland, mostly red clay soils over volcanic basalt, and blue agave is its main crop in a hot, dry climate with summer rains. Local tradition holds that tequila was first distilled in the nearby Tecuane barranca, where an early distillery site is still a local landmark. Amatitán lies within the Agave Landscape that UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006.
