Cascahuin Tequila Añejo 750mL

Cascahuin Tequila Añejo

Añejo Tequila | 44% ABV | 88 Proof | 750mL | Aged 14–16 Months | 100% Blue Weber Agave

Process & Profile

Cascahuin Tequila Añejo is a traditionally produced, additive-free tequila from El Arenal in Jalisco’s Tequila Valley. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Valles region, it preserves the earthy, mineral-driven character associated with the Cascahuin distillery while adding measured depth from American oak.

The mature agaves are cooked in traditional brick ovens and crushed with a roller mill. Fermentation takes place without agave fibers, using a combination of stainless steel and cement tanks. The tequila is then double-distilled, first in stainless steel equipment with a copper coil and again in a copper pot still.

After distillation, Cascahuin Añejo is matured for 14 to 16 months in American oak barrels. The extended aging introduces dried fruit, toasted nuts, spice, and natural wood character while allowing cooked agave to remain recognizable. The current export bottling is presented at 88 proof for a fuller and more expressive sipping profile.

What Makes It Special

Cascahuin Añejo offers a restrained approach to barrel aging. Rather than covering the tequila with heavy sweetness or dominant vanilla flavors, its 14-to-16-month maturation complements the distillery’s earthy agave, mineral, and pepper characteristics.

The tequila is produced at NOM 1123, the family-run Cascahuin distillery in El Arenal, where tequila has been made since 1904. Its traditional brick-oven cooking, mixed fermentation vessels, and two-stage distillation process create a profile that remains distinctly agave-forward after aging.

It is also made without additives, allowing its color, aroma, texture, and flavor to come from the agave, fermentation, distillation, and oak maturation. This makes it a strong choice for drinkers seeking an añejo with authentic agave character rather than an overly sweet or heavily manipulated profile.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Cascahuin Tequila Añejo neat at room temperature in a tequila glass or tulip-shaped tasting glass. Allowing it to rest briefly can reveal more of its raisin, almond, peach, roasted agave, and oak aromas.

A few drops of water may soften the proof and bring forward additional fruit, vanilla, and toasted-nut notes. It can also be served over one large ice cube, although drinking it neat provides the clearest expression of its agave and barrel character.
