Inside the World of Cascahuín
Located in the heart of Tequila, Jalisco, Tequila Cascahuín is a family-run distillery that’s quietly producing some of the finest, most honest expressions of agave spirits in all of Mexico. While the town of Tequila has no shortage of big-brand operations offering flashy tours and commercialized experiences, Cascahuín is refreshingly down-to-earth, authentic, and agave-obsessed.
Cascahuín stands out for its commitment to traditional methods and quality over mass production. Still owned and operated by the Rosales family since 1904, the distillery takes pride in every step of the process — from slow-cooking estate-grown agaves in brick ovens to natural fermentation and copper pot distillation. Their dedication shows in every bottle.
Whether you’re trying their Cascahuín Blanco, which bursts with clean agave, citrus, and mineral notes, or their Tahona Blanco, which leans earthy and complex thanks to traditional stone milling, the tequilas here are balanced, pure, and made with intention. The Extra Añejo is a standout too — rich but never overly oaked, allowing the cooked agave to still shine through.
Visiting Cascahuín is a much more intimate experience than the usual tequila tour. There’s no tourist trap here — just passionate people who are happy to walk you through their small-batch process and pour you generous samples of what they believe in. It’s educational, relaxed, and leaves you with a deeper appreciation for real tequila.
Cascahuín is a must-visit for any tequila enthusiast. It’s a place where tradition, transparency, and taste converge, resulting in some of the most respected tequilas coming out of Jalisco today. If you’re looking for soul, not spectacle, this is the distillery for you.
