Cascahuin Tahona Blanco Tequila – 84 Proof (42% ABV) | 750ml
Traditional, expressive, and deeply rooted in heritage, Cascahuin Tahona Blanco Tequila is a pure showcase of agave craftsmanship.

Process & Profile
Cascahuin Tahona Blanco is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico and produced using a traditional tahona stone mill to slowly crush the cooked agave. The extracted juices are fermented and double-distilled in copper pot stills, preserving the agave’s natural oils and fibers. This time-honored process results in a richer mouthfeel and a more complex, earthy expression compared to modern roller-mill tequilas.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, Cascahuin Tahona Blanco offers aromas of cooked agave, fresh herbs, citrus zest, and mineral earth. The palate is full-bodied and textured, delivering flavors of sweet agave, black pepper, olive, and subtle floral notes with a pronounced mineral backbone. The finish is long and clean, with lingering agave sweetness, gentle spice, and earthy complexity.
What Makes It Special
This tequila stands out for its traditional tahona production, which enhances mouthfeel and depth while maintaining balance and elegance. Cascahuin Tahona Blanco is widely appreciated by tequila purists for its additive-free profile and faithful expression of agave terroir.
How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to fully appreciate its layered aromas and texture. It also excels in minimalist cocktails such as a Tommy’s Margarita, where its rich agave character remains front and center.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR BLANCO ENTHUSIASTS
Don't let the extra alcohol deter you (i.e., 42% vs the typical 40%). I'm still on my way to becoming really knowledgeable, but the higher proof blancos just seem to give you more than their standard proof brethren. The nose is very agave forward and also contains earth/minerals, spices/cinnamon, and fruit (can't quite identify). Upon entry, you first get the cooked agave, followed by the other stuff from the nose plus sweetness, and finishes with...mushroom (in a good way). As you let this sit, the flavors open up, but the agave is never lost (very important to me and the key reason I drink blancos). Complex with up-front flavors that will keep you digging and coming back.
