Established in 1950 by Don Alfonso Jiménez Rosales, a Herradura co-founder, Caballito Cerrero is among the oldest Tequila brands no longer classified as Tequila under the NOM. Now known as "Destilado de Agave," it uses agave chato, a precursor to blue agave. Run by generations of Tequila experts at Santa Rita Distillery, it's admired by newer Tequila enthusiasts. Found between Herradura and Cielo Abierto, Caballito Cerrero embraces tradition while aiming for future innovation.
