Cascahuin Anejo

Cascahuin Anejo Tequila is produced by ‘Cascahuin’, a family-owned tequila producer founded in 1904 by Salvador Rosales Briseño, and 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 Anejo Tequila is one of the top-of-the-line Anejo tequilas in Jalisco because the producers have really 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 of the tequila that comes out of it.

What makes the Cascahuin Anejo Tequila special?

Cascahuin Anejo 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.

The Cascahuin company still uses the ‘Tahona wheel’ to make their Cascahuin Anejo 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 Anejo, Cascahuin Anejo 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 Anejo Tequila is also made using copper distillation pots. Copper’s the perfect heat conductor for making spirits, but a lot of distilleries use stainless steel because it’s easier to clean and cheaper… but it affects the end product. Cascahuin’s use of copper gives you a much better tasting tequila with richer flavours.
