Produced from \u003cstrong\u003e100% Tequilana Weber Blue Agave\u003c\/strong\u003e at historic \u003cstrong\u003eNOM 1123\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is aged for \u003cstrong\u003e14 to 16 months in American oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and, in this higher-strength release, bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e88 proof (44% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a rich yet balanced tequila showing mature cooked agave, dried fruit, toasted nuts, warm spice, and seasoned oak without allowing the barrel to overwhelm the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCascahuín has produced tequila in \u003cstrong\u003eEl Arenal, Jalisco since 1904\u003c\/strong\u003e, maintaining a traditional approach centered on authentic agave flavor and the distinctive character of the Valles region. The distillery operates under \u003cstrong\u003eNOM 1123\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the core Añejo is produced entirely from Blue Weber agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe agaves are cooked in traditional \u003cstrong\u003emasonry ovens\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the piñas to slowly develop their natural cooked-agave sweetness. Extraction follows through a \u003cstrong\u003eroller mill\u003c\/strong\u003e, after which fermentation takes place approximately \u003cstrong\u003e70% in stainless-steel tanks and 30% in cement tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, without agave fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistillation is carried out twice: first in a \u003cstrong\u003estainless-steel pot still with a copper coil\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a second distillation in a \u003cstrong\u003ecopper pot still with a copper coil\u003c\/strong\u003e. The tequila is then matured for \u003cstrong\u003e14–16 months in American oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, enough time to develop añejo depth while keeping the underlying cooked agave clearly recognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e88-proof \/ 44% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e bottling adds greater concentration and texture to the traditional Cascahuín Añejo profile. Current U.S. listings identify this higher-strength edition in a \u003cstrong\u003e750ml bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, while retaining the same 14–16 month American oak maturation and 100% Blue Weber agave foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, Cascahuín’s official profile highlights \u003cstrong\u003eraisins, almond, peach, and toasted peanut\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the signature aroma of cooked agave remaining prominent even after time in the glass. Additional layers of light caramel, seasoned oak, and warm spice deepen the aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate brings together \u003cstrong\u003emature cooked agave, dried fruit, toasted nuts, vanilla, warm spice, and natural American oak\u003c\/strong\u003e. The barrel contributes richness and structure, but the tequila remains distinctly agave-driven rather than becoming overly sweet or heavily wooded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is silky yet gently drying, reflecting the natural tannin of the oak, with lingering \u003cstrong\u003ecooked agave, toasted nuts, pepper, dried fruit, and seasoned wood\u003c\/strong\u003e. The elevated 88-proof strength gives the finish additional persistence and warmth while maintaining balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cstrong\u003eCascahuín Añejo Tequila 100% de Agave 88 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e especially compelling is its combination of \u003cstrong\u003etraditional masonry-oven cooking, Valley-grown Blue Weber agave, 14–16 months in American oak, additive-free production, and a higher 44% ABV bottling strength\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than using oak to disguise the tequila, Cascahuín allows maturation to complement the roasted agave, dried-fruit, nutty, and mineral characteristics at the heart of the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it \u003cstrong\u003eneat\u003c\/strong\u003e in a tequila or tasting glass to appreciate the full balance of agave and oak. A few drops of water can open additional fruit and spice, while a large cube creates a softer, slower sipping experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Cascahuín Añejo Tequila 100% de Agave 88 Proof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an \u003cstrong\u003eAñejo tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave\u003c\/strong\u003e at NOM 1123 in El Arenal, Jalisco.
