Process & Profile

Cascahuin Plata 48 is a high-proof blanco tequila crafted in small batches at NOM 1123 in El Arenal, Jalisco. Made from 100% mature Blue Weber agave, it’s slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, extracted with a roller mill, and fermented in a mix of cement and stainless steel tanks. The tequila is then double distilled in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils and bottled at 48% ABV without dilution, filtration, or additives—delivering an unfiltered expression of pure agave flavor.
