Cascahuin Reposado Tequila
Cascahuin · Tequilera Cascahuín
Cascahuin has operated in El Arenal since 1904, and this reposado demonstrates their philosophy of minimal intervention. Four months is just enough oak to polish the spirit without burying the agave. It's a textbook example of letting the plant speak.
Nose
Bright cooked agave with citrus zest and a hint of fresh grass. A gentle vanilla from brief oak aging adds depth without stealing focus. There's a mineral quality underneath that reads as wet clay.
Palate
Lean and focused, with cooked agave driving throughout. Lime peel, white pepper, and a faint herbal note—think thyme—build across the palate. The reposado rest adds a whisper of caramel sweetness that rounds the mid-palate without softening the agave's edge.
Finish
Medium length with lingering agave, black pepper, and a clean mineral fade.
