Very easy to drink with loads of agave up front, mixed in with tad smoke, loads of minerals, earthiness and vegetal. It has a backend of lavender and black pepper.

A very complex blanco from Chava. This blanco has a lot going on in aroma and flavors. Had this as a 2 oz pour in a snifter at a local restaurant at a reasonable price point considering the cost of the bottle. The smoky notes definitely come through from the Earthen pit in a good subtle way. Nose: cooked agave, vegetal, Earth, minerals, citrus, lavender, smoke, and herbal. Palate: cooked agave, vegetal, citrus, Earth, minerals, smoke, black pepper, herbal, and lavender. A blend of different techniques and methods from Cascahuin coming together to make a beautiful nose and great complexity.

Simply amazing. Super oily with tons of agave, citrus, pepper and vegetal and earthy notes. Amazing limited edition of you can get your hands on it.

Great nose with cooked agave, vegetal/herbal and citrus. Finish has vegetal notes with cooked agave and nice heat. Could easily go into the 90s on this rating. The price pint held me up a bit at just over $200

A blend of different Cascahuin techniques, it’s the most underground pit cooking that pokes through the most on this one—definitely carries a touch of smoke through. Sweet, earthy, mineral, and smoky.

Another banger from Cascahuin. Great floral nose, hint of mint and anise. Flavor of sweet cooked agave, lemon zest, anise and a hint of smokiness. Definitely a rare and pricy bottle but the quality is certainly there. Very well done!

This drinks really really well. The flavor definitely gives me a lot more than the nose. Delicious and beautifully executed. Took off a couple of points for price being a bit steep in today’s HP blanco market

Kind of a neck pour. I opened the bottle 3 days ago and gave a friend a 2 oz sample but didnt try it. So I'm trying it now... Nose: Grassy, minerality, cooked agave, anise, mint, earthy with a mild smokiness and a little alcohol Palate: sweet cooked agave, smokey, vegetal, mint, citrus and pepper Finish: warmth with citrus and pepper Legs are gorgeous PS tasted a little more with mac n cheese, and it paired really well!!!

Beautiful agave nose. Signature cascahuin palate with a beautiful pepper finish. I dig this

I did a high-proof tasting at a bar in Puerto Vallarta. Aroma of cooked agave, butter, minerals, herbal and a hint of smoke. Flavor of cooked agave, smoke, herbal and vegetal. Medium-long finish and no high-proof burn.

Tastes like smoked meat and minerals

Another winner by Chava, high proof, mint, and minerality at the same time. Balances out once it opens up

Minty, herbal, peppery with a strong agave flavor. A good high proof worthy of 1123.

Another great bottle from Chava and the team. I was able to get from the distillery so the price was right. If you’re paying crazy secondary prices then it will def change the value component but a delicious blanco as Chava reminds us how incredible he is.

Beautiful nose of agave. Floral, minerality, minty, jalapeño, green pepper. The best nose you can imagine. Beautiful palate of agave and then jalapeños and peppers. Beautiful mouthfeel can’t wait for a bottle of this.

On the nose, first impressions: cooked agave, nice minerality/an earthiness to this one, can smell the terroir, some herbal notes, maybe parsley/oregano. I will say it was somewhat muted on the nose for 49% to me. On the pallet: nice sweet cooked agave, lot of minerality, some baking spices/anise, some buttercream/caramel notes, nice medium finish, nice mouthfeel, not too thin, not to oily. Ultimately a quality 1123 product, very tasty but very also unique for them recently, maybe by design. Id easily keep it on the shelf for MSRP/secondary is a bit steep. Bottle opens up a lot after 24/48 hours, second sitting was much more enjoyable than first sitting.

Nose. Cook agave. Brine salt. Citrus. Cheese Taste. Heat off the hop which calms down time in the glass. Salty citrus. Cooked agave. Hint of anise. Hint of vegetal Finish. Nice long tingle. Would be nice warmer in the winter. As said not impressed with the price point and it really cuts into the enjoyment lol. Hard to separate quality vs price.

There’s a really interesting funk embedded in the flavor of this one that a love. Tons of cooked agave, and a verrrry long and rewarding finish. Insane mouth feel with longer legs than I’ve ever seen in a tequila. This bottle is by all means excellent, the price point loses it some points as I’ve seen several others say. I’ve only seen it for $300 out the door which is just ridiculous. If this came out to like 180ish it’d easily be north of a 90.

Not as funky as brix but still has some funk. Earthy dry and sweet potatoes brine and maybe some smokiness . Price at almost$300 hurts the score. I can’t ignore this price and how hard it was to find it. I’m fortunate to have friends that like to share. The overall score doesn’t tell the whole tale

Didn’t love the nose. Not unpleasant, but a little more ethanol forward than I prefer. It mellowed out after awhile. Wanted more deep agave in the nose. Still good though. Nice complexity with minerality, earthiness and faint smokiness. Reminiscent of Cascahuin Anniversario! A tad mezcal feel to it even. It’s super high quality for sure. Definitely overproofed. I might actually prefer closer to 92 over 98. Finish is nice. Lingers well with some of that faint earthiness. Gets dinged a bit for the price point.

nose: agave, brine, smoke, minerals, citrus, pepper. mouthfeel is medium viscosity. palate is nice and briney! sweet agave, earth, smoke, citrus, peppery heat. lingering salinity, agave and mint on the finish. excellent!

Coño Chava! Esto es riquizimo! You can taste the old school traditions. Earthen pit smoke, lovely agave , brine, minerals, and some pepper. Long finish with some pepper and honey to conclude the medley.

So much petrichor, Smokey cooked agave upfront and finishes with light pepper and subtle citrus notes. Viscous mouthfeel and slight minerality. I was sad to finish this bottle.

Earthy, smell is a bit boozy, agave, mild pepper, nice! Had at La Pina on 4/19/2025 after the G4 tasting.

Earthy and a very subtle Smokiness finish. Purchased at $195.
