Nose: A nice punchy sweet agave aroma. Full bodied with earth, olive, pepper, mild vanilla, and grassy elements at play. Orange peel mixed with subtle fruit notes of cherry, plum, tropical fruits, and grape skins. Minor herbal and vegetal notes as well. Palate: Medium body with thick viscosity. Damn this is good. Sweet agave up front which covers my tongue very well. The fruit enters the show in the mid palate with cherry, grape skins, and light tropical fruits. Finish is very pleasant and lasts quite a while
A pronounced vegetal element, earthy palate, light minerality, loads of pepper, subtle mint, sweet cooked agave, freshly cut grass. This is a sweet sipper, but delicious all the same. Cascahuin Tahona is a winner from the valley!
Nose: agave forward / alcohol/ pepper/ citrus / light fruitiness / lemongrass and orange blossom/ Flavor: bright - but with rainwater minerality / black pepper/ banana/ orange peel / mint / salt Finish: alcohol and black pepper/ a slight thickness and viscosity to the finish / lingering pepper and bittersweet with a touch of spearmint This blanco doesn’t deliver a lot of variegated nose or tasting notes, but scents and tastes it does deliver are in harmony and are unified into a very distinct experience. The citrus notes work in concert to give the pepper and bittersweet finish a nice applause…. It’s just not a standing ovation.
Lot 126, bottled 060921 Aroma initially had strong vegetal notes but after ~5 minutes cooked agave emerges as the primary note. Some underlying aromas of citrus and minerals enhance this blanco. Flavor opens with a nice peppery spice that quickly blends with sweetness from the cooked agave. Lasting warm finish is very nice and held this one stand out from so many others that fade in a flash. 5-30-2024 Cascahuin triple - Tahona blanco, 11 Brix blanco and Siete Veces Diez reposado
Lot 394. I don’t know about you but Tahona crushed tequilas seem to have some of the best noses. This has a great cooked agave smell with a good bit of minerals and pepper. I get some citrus on the nose and a little alcohol. The taste is amazing. Cooked agave shines with pepper. I also get earth and vegetal notes with honey and brine. This really works well together and while not my absolute favorite blanco. It is in the top echelon for me.
Nose - no Floral, brine, agave, grass and vegetal Palate - Sweet cooked gave, light pepper, brine and mineral. Great finish, this is an enjoyable easy to sip Blanco.
Nose: What a lovely harmony of aromas! Cooked Agave, Minerality, Black Pepper, Vegetal, Floral, Earthy, Citrus, Hay. I get that wet cement quality that Cascahuin is known for, but it's just so delicately balanced with a ton of other flavors. Mouthfeel: Medium for full bodied, slightly buttery even. Flavor/ Finish: The cooked agave is running this game, for sure. Sweetness on the palate is prevalent but also equitably mineral heavy, I get powerful cooked agave all the way through with minerality, herbal notes, and bell pepper and white pepper bringing it home. This one is outstanding!
May 2026 this is a staple in our bar. love it so much! today i'm sipping what's left in the bottle. getting an amazing nose of fruit and minerality. the palate is sweet agave minerality citrus and pepper. such an easy, delicious sipper. nov 2022: purchased at la europea in SJdC for 40USD. great value!
Aroma starts with loads of cooked agave, followed by some minerality from the tahona. Flavors of cooked agave, black pepper. A lovely, long finish. Old school techniques are still the best!
Has just a little more citrus and floral notes than the plata 48. I’m not sure which I like better. But very good.
Bottle: Lote 126 060921 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, sweet potato, vegetal, freshly cut grass, petrichor, wet earth, minerality, wet cement, limestone, butter, brine/salinity, herbal, mint, basil, white pepper, citrus, black tea, a tiny bit lactic, and a touch of smoke…fresh and earthy, with just the slightest amount of funk Palate: Cooked and raw agave, sweet potato, citrus, lemon, black pepper, vegetal, wet earth, brine/salinity, olives, minerality, butter, herbal, eucalyptus, mint, lemongrass, bergamot, black tea, licorice, and cinnamon…keeps the earthy and adds more herbal Finish: Brine/salinity, butter, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and vegetal: oily mouthfeel with a long finish that continues to develop and evolve Overall: This is incredibly complex and delicious. The nose begins like the ground after a Florida rain, followed by stroll through the herb garden in the backyard, and then finishes up like a Mexican hot chocolate. After many years, this remains one of my all-time favorite blancos…it hits all the right familiar notes, with just the right amount of unexpected.
Vegetal, sweet taste, spicy, medium finish. Agave bomb!
This is the best vegetal, earthy tequila ive had. I typically prefer the naturally sweeter vanilla fruity tequilas, so I wouldn’t typically pay $90 for this but top of the line on the earthy side. Loved it
Nose: Loads of citrus and cooked agave, earthy minerals. Lots of lemon peel for me, it’s exploding with citrus. Palate: Cooked agave, earthy, citrus and cinnamon. Lots of flavor here. No ethanol, finish is seemingly endless. A little pepper spice. A touch of jalapeño and something like cucumber. Tasty, and very different from my normal go-to pours. This is a good offering from Cascahuin.
Aroma of agave, light citrus, pear, cucumber, wow what a bouquet! Flavor is sheer heaven. Some lactic as others have mentioned but agave, hard fruit, vanilla, light citrus. This is a masterpiece of a Blanco!
Blancos dont get much better than this. Great oily entry with tons of warm cooked agave and mineral on both the nose and palate. Some pear and bubble yum. Not pricey in LA. Worth a hunt in other areas.
Very nice blonco. Soft on the front end then punches you will pepper.. loads of agave, minerals , and citrus
Agave forward on the nose… some fruit elements like citrus…. Has another aroma can’t place it … maybe olive… has a bite up front and it stays for a minute… long finish. Taste of cooked crushed agave, balanced sweetness… agave is prominent and comes through
At 42%, it has such a buttery entrance and easy to sip Great profile! Has the right balance and character Aromas are fantastic! Aroma: Agave, mint, olive, orange peel, white pepper, and minerality Taste: Agave bomb, mineral, white pepper, herbal (mint), vegetal (bell pepper and olives), earthy, grassy, citrus & lactic (pecorino romano cheese). This profile has a medium-long finish.
Nice level of complexity for a blanco. More viscosity than the average tequila with notes of pepper and cinnamon quite enjoyable as a sipper.
Wow, this is really good! This is one where I find the taste exceeds the nose. I compared side by side with G4 Blanco (which I love), and the nose on G4 is so crisp, full of cooked agave, and a sweet citrus smell. Cascahuin Tahona is more suttle with cooked agave and olive on the nose. First sip just explodes with cooked agave with an oily mouth feel. Not as complex as Calle 23 Criollo, or Fuenteseca Cosecha, but this is a Blanco I will keep on hand and recommend to others.
Aroma: Beautiful raw and cooked agave. Some sweet floral notes as well. Taste: Nice mouthfeel, more agave, white pepper, some minerals, eucalyptus. Finish: medium with nice heat and that herbal eucalyptus thing hanging around. This is a really good one and well worth the bump in price over the other blancos from this wonderful distillery!
At 84 proof, this is not hot! In fact, it’s so good, you’ll kick yourself for not but a second bottle! Really!!
Excellence! ... transparent juice filled with cooked agave, mint, citrus, alcohol 42%, herbals, cardamom, walnut, butter and minerals. Easy to sip, can enjoy this all night. All natural !!! IMHO one of the three best blancos I’ve had up to 4/2021

Nose: The aroma opens with a clear mineral character alongside fresh cooked agave. A lightly vegetal note gives it brightness, while anise adds a gentle herbal sweetness. Orange citrus lifts the profile and keeps it lively, with black pepper sitting just beneath the surface and adding a touch of spice that ties everything together. Palate & Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel lands at a comfortable medium weight. It isn’t particularly grippy, but it still carries enough presence to feel satisfying. Sweet agave and orange show up first, followed by the familiar note of anise. Black pepper and a cool hint of mint begin to develop as it opens, supported by a steady mineral character. A gentle warmth slowly builds from white pepper, adding energy without overwhelming the flavors. Finish: The finish stays clean and focused, holding onto orange citrus, cracked black pepper, and lingering agave. It tapers off naturally with no alcohol burn, leaving the palate refreshed. Final Thoughts: A delicious tequila with real depth. The flavors unfold naturally, showing layers and nuance while staying easy to enjoy. Complex enough to keep your attention, but approachable enough for anyone to appreciate, and a strong value for what it delivers.
