Cascahuin Blanco 11 Brix Tequila (750ml / 53%)

Cascahuin 11 Brix Tequila is a 2022 special release that was followed by the coveted Aniversario and the Cerro de Luz releases.

11 Brix highlights (and celebrates) the most important part of tequila production: Fermentation. 

This tequila started out as the Cascahuin we all know and love: agaves from the valley, cooked in brick ovens, and then milled with a roller mill. When it came time for fermentation, maestro tequilero and owner Salvador “Chava” Rosales divided the cooked agave into the three fermenting tanks used at Cascahuin distillery: stainless steel, cement, and wooden. 

Cement tanks = Strong, natural agave sweetness
Stainless Steel tanks = sharp, grassy
Wood tanks = well-rounded, earthy + complex finish

AROMA: Strong punch of full cooked agave aromas. It has a beautiful buttery noseand it finishes with a careful blend of a citrus and peppery minerality that is more than familiar to Cascahuin. 
TASTE: The first sip is to just adjust your palate to something at 106 proof, but at the second sip, man, do you really begin to enjoy the complexities of this beautiful tequila. Right at the tip of your tongue, you’ll experience a transformation from black pepper to a citrusy, fruity, tropical explosion that takes over the mouth and is just delicious. The mouthfeel is one a favorite because it is so buttery, similar to a rich chardonnay. This is an incredible well balanced expression. No flavour overpowers another; they work in perfect unison as the sweet, buttery, and tropical flavours mellow down, and it finishes off with a briny minerality that is typical from Cascahuin. This is an incredible experiment that shows us just how important fermentation is and how that can change a tequila entirely. When you combine them all it can create some of the best tequilas. 
BARREL: Unaged
ENJOY: As a premium sipping tequila. Take the time with this one. Let it open up.
