Cascahuin Plata 48 Tequila is another very fine and high quality tequila from the Cascahuin brand. Like all tequilas from this producer, it is made using traditional artisanal methods to give us a rich nuance of flavours to enjoy. Salvador Rosales Briseño created the first Cascahuin distillery in 1904 in the Mexican town of El Arenal.
The traditional methods that Cascahuin continues to use has shown to produce a top-drawer premium tequila. The tequila produced has high purity and retains the rich, complex flavours of the agave. The brand is recognized as being unquestionably one of the most superior producers of tequila in the region of Jalisco (the home of tequila). It’s very common for tequila producers to use modern methods and technologies to save time and money, but not Cascahuin.
Alongside Cascahuin Plata 48, other expressions include: Cascahuin Blanco, Cascahuin Blanco Tahona, Cascahuin Reposado and Cascahuin Anejo.
What Makes Cascahuin Plata 48 Tequila Special?
Cascahuin Plata 48 was named to emphasise that this blanco tequila has an alcohol volume of 48%. High ABV tequilas are the most traditional tequilas but in more recent times most tequila is made at a lower strength, typically from 38-40% ABV. Cascahuin released their ‘Plata 48’ tequila to the public so we can enjoy tequila as it was traditionally made.
Each production lot never exceeds 2500 litres, so it’s no surprise that this fantastic, velvety-smooth tequila is a lot harder to find than most others. Cascahuin tequila Plata 48 is additive and preservative free. Cascahuin takes its quality further by ensuring that they use the purest water, from deep well springs, to produce their tequila.
Cascahuin Plata 48 uses a mill to extract juice from the cooked agave.
The first distillation uses a stainless-steel still with a copper coil; the second uses a copper still.
