Cascahuín Tahona Blanco

Cascahuín has a lineup that can go toe-to-toe with just about any brand on the market.

Built on a family history dating back to the early 1900s in El Arenal, Jalisco, the brand has spent generations growing agave and producing tequila with a commitment to traditional methods.

That foundation continues today, with a focus on harvesting what they grow and keeping the process rooted in the craft of tequila making.

The Tahona Blanco is a great example of that commitment.

Made with ripe agave crushed using a traditional tahona stone, this expression reflects the work and attention to detail that master distiller Salvador “Chava” Rosales Trejo continues to bring to the Cascahuín legacy.

Unlike their standard Blanco and Plata 48% expressions that use a roller mill for extracting the cooked agave juice, Tahona Blanco is the only one from the core lineup that uses a tahona.

Nose: Citrus, light fruit, black pepper, cooked agave, earth, lemongrass, and floral notes.

Flavor: Clean and vibrant, with citrus, minerals, and a full, viscous mouthfeel. Cooked agave takes center stage, followed by anise and dried apricot.

Finish: Long and lingering, with agave staying on the palate alongside black pepper, citrus, anise, and vegetal notes.

Cascahuín Tahona Blanco sets the bar for what a classic blanco should be.

The traditional tahona process, combined with bottling at 42% ABV, really shows in the depth and complexity of this tequila. The cooked agave remains front and center, while the citrus, minerals, and spice bring everything together.

This is a bottle that showcases what happens when you respect the raw material, take your time with the process, and let the agave speak for itself. A fantastic expression from Cascahuín and a great example of traditional tequila production done right.
