Cascahuín Añejo (44% ABV)
Produced at NOM 1123 in El Arenal, Jalisco, this expression represents the perfect intersection of traditional brick oven roasting and careful maturation. The extra 4% ABV compared to standard bottlings provides a more concentrated flavor profile and a viscous, velvety mouthfeel that carries the complex barrel notes through a long, dry finish.
Production Details
- Agave: 100% Blue Weber (Tequilana Weber)
- Cooking: Traditional masonry ovens for 72 hours
- Extraction: Roller mill
- Fermentation: Wood and cement tanks with fibers
- Distillation: Double distilled in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils
- Aging: 14 to 16 months in spent American Oak barrels (typically bourbon)
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Pale straw to honey gold. The color is lighter than many commercial Añejos, indicating a lack of additives or caramel coloring. Thick, slow-moving legs on the glass.
- Aroma: The nose leads with cooked agave and a distinct "wet stone" minerality. As it opens, secondary notes of toasted almond, light vanilla, and dried citrus peel emerge. There is a faint, savory hint of olive brine that is characteristic of the Cascahuín distillery.
- Palate: Initially spicy and bold due to the higher proof. The sweetness of the agave is balanced by the dry tannins of the oak. You will find layers of black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of dark chocolate. It avoids the "cloying" syrup texture of many aged tequilas, remaining bright and herbaceous.
- Finish: Extremely long and warming. The heat of the 44% ABV lingers alongside a savory, earthy quality and a final puff of oak smoke.
Expert Tip:
To fully appreciate the complexity of the 44% ABV, let this sit in a Glencairn or champagne flute for 10 minutes before tasting. The higher alcohol content benefits significantly from oxidation.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
