Cascahuin Tequila Añejo 55-25 750mL

Cascahuín Tequila Añejo 55-25

Añejo Tequila | 44% ABV | 88 Proof | 750mL | 100% Blue Weber Agave | 70th Anniversary Limited Edition

Process & Profile

Cascahuín Tequila Añejo 55-25 is a limited-edition release created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Destilería Cascahuín in El Arenal, Jalisco. Its name connects 1955, the year associated with the distillery’s modern founding, with the 2025 anniversary release.

The tequila is a blend of two aged components. Ninety percent is tequila matured for 12 months in ex-Sherry casks, while the remaining 10% is Cascahuín Añejo aged for 48 months. This combination brings together the dried-fruit and nutty character of Sherry-seasoned oak with the deeper concentration of long-aged tequila.

Produced from 100% Blue Weber agave at NOM 1123, Cascahuín 55-25 retains the distillery’s roasted agave, mineral, and pepper-driven character beneath layers of dried fruit, caramel, dark chocolate, spice, and oak. It is bottled at 88 proof to preserve a full texture and expressive aroma.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cooked agave, raisins, dried stone fruit, toasted almonds, vanilla, baking spice, and Sherry-seasoned oak

Palate: Roasted agave, buttered toffee, dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nuts, cinnamon, black pepper, and subtle citrus

Finish: Long and warming with lingering cocoa, dried fruit, oak spice, minerals, and rich agave character

What Makes It Special

Cascahuín 55-25 commemorates seven decades of traditional tequila production by the Rosales family. Rather than relying only on extended barrel aging, the release combines two distinct mature components to create additional depth.

The 12-month ex-Sherry cask portion provides dried fruit, toasted nuts, baking spice, and wine-like richness. The 48-month añejo component contributes concentrated oak, cacao, caramel, and structure. Together, they create a layered añejo that remains grounded in cooked agave and the mineral character associated with tequila from El Arenal.

Its anniversary significance, limited production, and unusual cask composition make Cascahuín 55-25 an appealing bottle for collectors and drinkers interested in traditionally produced, agave-forward aged tequila.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Cascahuín Tequila Añejo 55-25 neat at room temperature in a tequila glass or tulip-shaped tasting glass. Allowing it to rest for several minutes can help reveal additional dried-fruit, almond, chocolate, and Sherry-cask aromas.

A few drops of water may soften the oak and bring forward more roasted agave, caramel, citrus, and baking spice. It can also be served over one large ice cube, although drinking it neat provides the clearest expression of its anniversary blend.
