The Cascahuin company was started in 1904 by Salvador Rosales Briseño in the town of El Arenal, Jalisco, Mexico - the home of tequila - where it is still produced today in their distillery that was built in 1955. The business has remained in the family, afterwards being passed on to his son Salvador Rosales Torres, and grandson Salvador "Chava" Rosales Trejo after that.
Cascahuin is known in the region of Jalisco for being a remarkable top-tier premium tequila, recognised as one of the best. Over the years there have been new technological advancements in how tequila is manufactured and the equipment that’s used, but what’s so special about Cascahuin is how dedicated they’ve been to sticking to the authentic traditional Mexican ways of producing tequila, valuing a high-quality product over ‘doing it the easy way’.
Cascahuin Reposado Tequila rests in oak barrels for 6 to 8 months giving it that beautiful crispy oaky taste (as well the straw-yellow colour).

What Makes Cascahuin Reposado Tequila Special?
Cascahuin Reposado uses a mill to extract juice from the cooked agave.
Additionally Cascahuin Reposado tequila is produced with deep well spring water which has a massive impact on the flavour and character of the tequila. This type of water has a really high level of purity because it’s naturally filtered through rock and soil, containing minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium which can add a subtle taste to the tequila.
Aside from the purity of the water, Cascahuin goes a step further in ensuring the highest quality by adding no preservatives, additives or artificial sweeteners whatsoever to their Cascahuin Reposado.
The first distillation uses a stainless-steel still with a copper coil; the second uses a copper still.
Cascahuin Reposado Review
Nose
Honey and vanilla scents, with an aroma of cooked agave and earthy/dry land essences.

A balanced palate of sweet cooked agave, vanilla and wood (from having aged in American oak barrels).
Aftertaste
Silky finish, hints of agave, pepper and caramel.
Appearance
Cascahuin Reposado Tequila is clear in colour with a slightly straw-yellow hint from having aged in an oak barrel for 6-8 months.
Price
Cascahuin Tequila Reposado sits comfortably in the middle price range when compared to other reposados, what must be remembered however, is that this tequila is additive and preservative free and uses traditional methods for production, something unique that most other reposado tequilas cannot offer.
