Nose: Vanilla rises first, soft and warm, followed by a clean line of orange zest and a lift of honeysuckle that gives it a bright, almost sunny edge. Caramel settles in underneath, grounding everything, while the agave stays present enough to keep the profile centered. Palate & Mouthfeel: Light and watery on entry, the agave shows up quickly. Tropical fruit flickers in and out, backed by a touch of vanilla and a gentle run of oak. Orange citrus adds some welcome brightness, and a dusting of black pepper brings a bit of shape to an otherwise easygoing profile. It’s lively up front, though it softens sooner than expected. Finish: A slight oak bitterness shows up early, but the overall exit stays clean. The flavors don’t push far, fading with a quick, tidy dropoff. Final Thoughts: A mid-budget reposado with a gorgeous nose and a palate that opens with promise. The midsection and finish don’t quite keep pace for me, but the overall experience remains pleasant. Very nice for what it is, especially if you enjoy a bright, inviting start.

It's a solid repasodo, nice barrel notes' decent aroma, not very oily. For the price it makes a different sipper.

Nose of sweet agave and tropical fruits. I get mango and pineapple as well as banana. On the palate I get agave, pepper, fruits. A bit of vanilla and caramel. This is a nice repo and a good price. 1123 makes great tequila.

I love all Cascahuin!!

$55 in San Francisco Aroma: 21 Low ethanol. A sweet lemon agave with fruity undertones. Mixed in is some herbal spice but fairly gently added. Nose is lighter than I would have expected. Palate: 26 Really good heft to the mouth feel and presence. Coats my tongue well. Up front is a really nice sweet lemon agave note with vanilla soon following. Floral elements of lavender and rose in the mid palate with pitted fruit. As it settles into the mid and back palate, the spice really kicks in with black tea and pepper. Finish: 22 Good length and plenty of lasting flavor. Value: 7 $55 for a bottle which is a solid value to get a entry level repo pour for a fantastic brand and distillery Side note: Highly recommend investing in a $10 handheld milk frother. It speeds up the aeration process significantly and really opens the tequila up.

this is the rating for the 42 ABV Reposado

Phenomenal value repo from none other than 1123 Cascahuin. In a blind this can swing with the heavyweights, from nose to pallet. Sweet agave, spices, creamy, delicious start to finish. Great bang for your buck, worth stocking up in the $40-50s.

42% Square Bottle. Nice rich agave nose with barrel notes. Palate is alright with an odd finish

Sweet citrus, orange peel, cooked agave, light spice, very agave forward. Light barrel notes.

Tasted at a distillery tour and really enjoyed this one

Delicious and amazing value. Tres Leches cake with almonds on top. So good and balanced.

Nov 18, 2022 tasted at distillery. long day of tasting. need to revisit.

Citric aromas blended with strong cooked agave, with a pleasant minerality, and a touch of spice and herbs. Clean and slightly sweet across the palate. A great finish, a burst of agave coupled herbal/basil notes with light oak, and hints of spice and vanilla. A very nicely balanced reposado.

Light on the nose with cooked agave, Cooked agave, butter, very light pepper. Clean finish, lingering cooked agave very slight pepper then vanishes. Light in color and flavor, a nice entry to Reposado tequila.

The new 42% abv is fantastic! Lots of layers of flavor including sweet cooked agave, spices, butter and honey. Great nose as well.

Sweet nose with agave and raspberries alongside light baking spices. This carries over into the taste with some additional barrel notes like vanilla, oak, and nuts. The finish is long and spicy. The only thing I don't like is that the Blanco has such a great value but this doesn't (at least in the US).

Aroma of cooked agave, citrus and oak. Flavor of cooked agave and anise. Pleasant, medium finish.

This review is over a older Cascahuin small semi squared bottle from the late 90s. Nice earthy aroma with a good precede of cooked agave. A hint of vanilla and a power heat kick towards the end. Very enjoyable.

Soft, inviting nose pulls you right in with roasted agave & caramel. Builds up slowly on my palette, starts with just a bit of sweetness and builds up to a boozy kick in the ass on its way out. Perfect for novice tequila fans, just a lot to like without any fuss.

I really like this. Agave, citrus, tree bark, pepper and apple blossoms on the nose. Palate has agave, light oak, cranberries, peach and bananas with a finish of salted peanuts.

Honey, white flowers, windex

Originally sampled with Salvador and Tetsu at Distillery visit Sept 2018.

Striking nose. Agave, berries, banana, and warm spices reminiscent of cookies baking. Flavors follow nicely with vanilla, almond and pepper. Creamy anise. Lingering pepper finish with a hint of orange peel. This is a very solid economical tequila.

Older bottle from around 1998 or so. MX bottle at 38% ABV with no tax stamp. Sip it if you find it.

If your still drinking the fake stuff like DJ and Casa then your not ready for this kind of profile. This is about as legit as it gets from an everyday label. This isn’t sweet much less artificially sweet. It’s clean agave and barrel notes with long finish. It’s fresh, minerality bright green peppers, earthy, woody and creamy texture. Sweet cooked agave and vanilla. BALANCED clean long finish. The extra 2% abv makes all the difference.
