Cascahuín is produced by the Rosales family, who have made tequila since 1904, at their Destilería Cascahuín in El Arenal, in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco. Master distiller Salvador "Chava" Rosales Torres now leads the house, and having long supplied agave and distillate behind well-known boutique labels, Cascahuín released this Tahona Blanco under its own name in 2006 to claim recognition for its own craft.

This blanco is made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the valley lowlands, cut into uniform pieces and slow cooked for around 25 hours in traditional stone and brick ovens before resting a full day. The juice is extracted entirely by tahona, a massive volcanic stone wheel that crushes the roasted piñas, then fermented in the open air within cement tanks using natural yeast and the agave fibers themselves. After two distillations in copper pot stills, the spirit is proofed with natural spring water and bottled unaged, additive free, at 42% ABV.

The nose leads with cooked agave, fresh mint, and citrus zest layered over earthy mineral notes. On the palate the tequila is full bodied and rustic, with honeyed sweetness, herbal and vegetal character, and savory green notes, finishing long, crisp, and mineral driven with lingering agave.

"The creators of Cascahuin believe that innovation in Tequila comes from digging back into its artisanal roots, and the use of a tahona in the production of this incredible blanco is exactly that.

Savory notes and minerality coming from the roasting in stone ovens, use of a traditional stone tahona, and copper pot distillation.Higher-proof blanco at 42% for a crisp tasting experience and increased citrus, herbal, and floral notesSlow maceration with a Tahona means less methanol in the final product, which means less of a headache the next day.

TASTING NOTES:

Aroma: White pepper, citrus leaves(like standing in a citrus grove, earth), sweet potato, orange blossom, green agave

Palate: Cooked agave, honeyed mouth feel, fresh vegetal and herbal notes (cut grass, meyer lemon, tropical fruits), savory green olive and green pepper

Finish: long but crisp, caramelized banana, dry minerality"
