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!!!

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.

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.

una bomba de agave, ahumado, cítrico, frutoso como uva y picoso, a pesar de ser un high proof baja bien suave

LOT: 588 This is the yearly anniversary edition of Cascahuin, and it seems that they went back to the legendary 11 Brix formula for this one. Even tough this is a bit lower graduation, at 49º or 98. I must say I’m typing this quite excited I just opened it and just had a small whiff. After 5 minutes of being poured; Aroma: this is quite the Cascahuin smell. Wet cement, petrichor, floral kind of lavander, some wood astringency, cooked agave, sweetness, alcohol but not over powering for a 49, some anise. Taste: quite sweet, very floral, some wood astringency, quite complex. I can tell it still want to open up a lot. After taste: citrus like orange peel, black pepper. I let it open for 30 minutes. Aroma: quite similar, I don’t detect changes. Maybe a little lemon citrus that wasn’t there before. Taste: it’s unique, really sweet, very floral like lavander, wood, some citrus like lemon or orange peel Aftertaste: black pepper and oily citrus. I let it open for another 30 minutes. Aroma: I now get a super subtle smoked aroma in the background as well. Taste: at some moments it even tastes like honey made with lavander or mesquite. This is super special, Salvador has done it again. I will revisit after this has evolved more and after making blind tastings.

Cascahuin Destino blanco 49% LOTE 588, bottled on 021224, tasted on 12-8-24. Aroma: cooked agave, hint of smokey sensation which covers up some aromas, light green vegetal notes, light earthiness, acidity, light citrus, hint of sourness. The smokey note is lighter than the Aniversario and Cerro de Luz, which lets more aromatic notes shine through. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, however, the ethanol sensation is medium high, which I am confident like most recent Cascahuin releases will improve as the tequila is homogenized in the bottle. The green vegetal notes also seem slightly harsh due to high ethanol sensation, which I hope improves and becomes more aromatic once the ethanol sensation is more balanced. Ok, I am being really picky, but because it’s Cascahuin! Finish is medium to long, cooked agave note is sweeter on the finish, light green vegetal notes with a hint of smoke, light citrus with light earthy notes persist. I have high expectations for this tequila once it becomes more homogenized! Which I will gladly be tasting regularly and adjusting points accordingly. 86 points.
