Cascahuin Anejo
Cascahuin Añejo tequila is produced by ‘Cascahuin’, a family-owned tequila producer founded in 1904 by Salvador Rosales Briseño, Cascahuin has proudly stayed within the family ever since then. The distillery they use now was built in 1955, situated in the town of El Arenal, found in the home of tequila - Jalisco, Mexico.
Cascahuin has dedicated themselves to making their tequila using slower traditional artisanal methods, rather than switching to more modern methods which are quicker, cheaper and easier but have a negative impact on the quality and taste.
What Makes Cascahuin Añejo Tequila Special?
Cascahuin Añejo is a beautiful premium tequila that’s aged in American oak barrels for 14 to 16 months which really brings out the flavour of the agave and adds a hint of oak, a class combination.
Cascahuin still use a ‘Tahona wheel’ to make their Cascahuin Añejo tequila. This is a big stone made of volcano rock that used to be pulled by a mule or a horse (now a machine is used instead to pull the wheel because Mexicans love animals) to crush the cooked agave to get at the sweet juice called ‘aguamiel’ to be turned into this amazing tequila.
Cascahuin doesn’t use any chemicals, preservatives, artificial sweeteners or any of that rubbish to make their tequila, so if you want to experience the REAL, natural taste of an añejo, Cascahuin Añejo is the perfect choice for you. It’s also made using deep well spring water, adding the extra level of purity to the mix.
Cascahuin Añejo Tequila is made using copper distillation pots. Copper’s the perfect heat conductor for making spirits, but a lot of distilleries sacrifice quality by using stainless steel because it’s easier to clean and cheaper. Cascahuin’s use of copper gives you a crisper tasting tequila with richer flavours.

The Producer of Cascahuin Añejo Tequila
The tequila producer ‘Cascahuin’ makes Cascahuin Añejo Tequila. It’s a family-owned business founded in 1904 by Salvador Rosales Briseño and has stayed in the family ever since. Over these 100+ years they’ve really perfected the art and science of tequila-producing and are very well thought of in Mexico because they’ve stuck to the traditional way of making tequila, and as a result, the tequila they provide us is of a particularly high quality.
In addition to their Anejo, the Cascahuin distillery offers us a number of different expressions and varieties of tequila. Cascahuin Añejo is one of five tequila expressions produced by the Cascahuin distellery, alongside Cascahuin Blanco, Cascahuin Blanco Tahona, Cascahuin Plata 48 and Cascahuin Reposado.
