Description

Cascahuín Tequila Blanco showcases the terroir of El Arenal Jalisco, they grow all their own agaves to make this tequila blanco and without any resting time in wood, the minerality of the land is allowed to shine through.

Established in 1904 by Salvador Rosales Briseño, this independent family-run distillery produces beautiful tequila from agaves raised on their land rather than buying them from multiple areas. This gives their tequila terroir a sense of place. Very highly respected tequila.

    Remy Newland: 'Nose starts out with minerals, baked agave, tropical fruits and lively spices. Floral with some nutmeg... liking the nose. Flavours rolling in of mint, sweet agave, vanilla and light pepper. Nice mouthfeel. Balanced solid finish. Leaves a soft feeling finish in my mouth.'

    Erica Boorom: 'Aroma: Agave with some baking spices and floral notes. Light fruits. Taste: Sweet cooked agave and vanilla with grass, mint, light spices and pepper. Nice oily texture. Finish: Medium length with light alcohol, and prolongs the floral notes prominent on the nose and initial taste. Budget-priced tequila, but sips like a high-end bottle. I'm curious how the minty quality here translates to the Reposado and Añejo'

    Jacob Skoff: 'Herbal, minerals, agave, spices, nutmeg and tropical fruits like papaya and peach, almond, peanuts, raisins, citrus orange, portería sapota (mamey) are in the aroma. The palate has banana, Mamey, sweet cooked agave, white pepper, spices, mint. Finish medium with lots of sweet agave and slightly spicy.'
