ArteNOM Selección de 1123 Tequila Blanco Histórico

Blanco Tequila | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750mL

Process & Profile

ArteNOM Selección de 1123 Tequila Blanco Histórico is produced at Destilería Cascahuín (NOM 1123), one of Jalisco’s most respected traditional tequila houses. Made from fully ripe Blue Weber agave grown in the Lowlands, the piñas are cooked in brick ovens, crushed using roller mills, and fermented naturally before being distilled in stainless steel pot stills. Although categorized as a blanco, this expression undergoes a unique brief rest in previously used American oak barrels—just long enough to impart subtle color, warm spice, and texture while preserving its clean, fresh agave core. As a result, this additive-free tequila delivers both purity and depth, balancing Cascahuín’s earthy Lowland character with a gentle kiss of oak.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh agave, citrus oils, cracked pepper, light vanilla, and hints of baked pineapple.

• Palate: Bright and peppery with roasted agave, lime zest, mild oak sweetness, herbal undertones, and a touch of minerality.

• Finish: Clean and lingering with agave-forward clarity, soft spice, and a whisper of oak warmth.

What Makes It Special

How to Enjoy
