Cascahuín 55-25 Limited Edition Añejo Tequila

Cascahuín 55-25 Limited Edition Añejo Tequila

Limited Edition Añejo | 55% ABV | 110 Proof | 750mL | 100% Blue Weber Agave | Additive Free

A Rare Expression from El Arenal

The Cascahuín 55-25 Limited Edition Añejo is one of the most sought-after releases from NOM 1123 — the family-run Cascahuín distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, where tequila has been crafted since 1904. Bottled at a bold 55% ABV and aged for 25 months, this expression pushes the boundaries of what an additive-free añejo can deliver: raw agave power, deep barrel complexity, and an unmistakable mineral backbone that defines the Tequila Valley terroir.

Process & Profile

Mature Blue Weber agave from the Valles region is slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, then crushed with a roller mill. Fermentation proceeds without agave fibers in a combination of stainless steel and cement tanks. The tequila is double-distilled — first through stainless steel with a copper coil, then in a copper pot still — before entering American oak barrels for 25 months of maturation.

The extended aging at cask strength concentrates the spirit's earthy, mineral-driven character while layering in dried fruit, toasted oak, and warm baking spice. No additives, no dilution — just agave, time, and oak.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Roasted agave, dark dried fruit, toasted almond, crème brûlée, seasoned American oak, and a whisper of black pepper

Palate: Bold and expressive — cooked agave, raisin, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, warm spice, and rich toasted oak with a full, oily texture

Finish: Long and warming with lingering agave, mineral earthiness, dried fruit, and a gentle peppery heat

What Makes It Special

• 55% ABV cask strength — bottled without dilution for maximum agave and barrel expression
• 25 months of aging — significantly longer than standard añejo, delivering exceptional depth
• Additive free — color, aroma, and flavor come entirely from the agave, fermentation, distillation, and oak
• Limited production — a rare release from one of Mexico's most respected traditional distilleries
• NOM 1123 — produced at the historic Cascahuín distillery, family-owned since 1904

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped tasting glass to fully appreciate its complexity. Allow it to breathe for a few minutes after pouring — the high proof will open up to reveal layers of dried fruit, toasted oak, and roasted agave. A few drops of water can soften the proof and unlock additional vanilla and fruit notes. Not recommended on ice, as dilution diminishes the cask-strength character.
