Cascahuim blanco Nose: agave pepper anise Palate: sweet agave Finish drops off kinda quickly

Solid affordable sipper with light mint aroma, sweet agave flavor, spices and a little jalapeño pepper in the finish.

On the nose, Immediately grassy, herbal notes and cooked agave. Something like underripe banana. Pepper and citrus, orange peel. On the palate, beautiful cooked agave, almost a touch of vanilla but not quite. Definitely getting the pepper and the citrus. A very subdued natural sweetness, and very oily and full bodied. Solid sipping blanco. Didn’t blow my mind by any means, but also nothing really going against it either.

Lots of agave on the nose and upon entry. Some mint with a touch of grassy sweetness. Possibly the best blanco for under 25 bucks.

Agave, grass, pepper, melon, herbs… there’s a lot going on for this quality affordable tequila. Some good pop from the pepper, long finish. The more I drink, the more I like.

amazing bargain for this entry level Cascahuin. (8 points on the score for the value rating). aroma is agave, citrus and pepper. flavor opens with the agave at the front then presents banana, citrus (mostly grapefruit) and cinnamon. some brine and lactic on the finish. quite near the benchmark for blanco's at $30 and under

agave through and through. One of the best out there for the price point.

Great value, from one of the best tequila houses out there. This being their entry level blanco. Great for cocktails or by itself. Shows great agave flavors, very balanced

Clean fresh agave and citrus (lime). Lovely nose. A lot of agave up front, slightly vegetal and a touch of sweet. The finish is nice, slightly thin but peppery.

Herbal, minerals, agave, spices, nutmeg and tropical fruits like papaya and peach, almond, peanuts, raisins, citrus orange, portería sapota (mamey) are in the aroma. The palate has banana, Mamey, sweet cooked agave, white pepper, spices, mint. Finish medium with lots of sweet agave and slight spicy.

Aroma : Agave with some baking spices and floral notes. Light fruits. Taste : Sweet cooked agave and vanilla with grass, mint, light spices and pepper. Nice oily texture. Finish : Medium length with light alcohol, and prolongs the floral notes prominent on the nose and initial taste. Budget priced tequila, but sips like a high end bottle. I'm curious how the minty quality here translates to the Reposado and Añejo, but neither of those were on Old Town Tequila where I got this. I'll have to look around.

Excellent, excellent tequila. Very affordable whether you’re getting it in the States($30) or in Mexico($260 pesos in January 2020, in Jalisco). Enjoyable, short finish. Super flavorful and vegetal, extremely agave forward stuff. Good enough to sip neat. Blows PLENTY of other bigger names out the water at a fraction of the cost. Just a good tequila made the right way, I trust anything from this NOM.

As good as it gets, really. Asparagus, cooked agave, sweet potato (cooked), unripe banana, vegetables and alcohol (bottom of the aroma column) all in the nose. This elixir coats the mouth with a nice viscosity and the tears don’t break. I love this stuff.

Absolutely no flaws that stick out....this is amazing from start to finish. Makes me wonder why every brand can’t perform at this level for this price point?!? Recommend stocking up.

Baked agave, grass, lemon zest

Nose starts out with minerals, baked agave, tropical fruits and lively spices. Floral with some nutmeg... liking the nose. Flavors rolling in of mint, sweet agave, vanilla and light pepper. Nice mouth feel. Balanced solid finish. Leaves a soft feeling finish in my mouth.

Tasted from a taller bottle that I just brought back from Jalisco. At 38% ABV this hand crafted Blanco has a great agave presence both on the nose and in the mouth. Caramelized sugar sweetness presents on the initial sip that gives no taste of being anything other than natural. A moderate and slightly spicy finish rounds out an excellent offering from El Arenal.

LOT: 420 (11/09/23) View: Completely transparent, good tear adhesion. Freshly served; Aroma: lactic, herbal, fresh, lemony citrus, cooked agave, mineral. Flavor: lactic, lemony citrus, mineral, light, fresh. Aftertaste: citrus, astringent and a little black pepper. The lemon sensation lasts quite a while. I let it oxygenate for 15 minutes to allow it to open. Aroma: it evolved towards herbal and I distinguish a slight profile of green olive, lactic, mineral, copper, citrus. Taste: I now also very clearly distinguish the green olive, herbal and mineral. Great deal, can’t get much better for the price.

This brand has one of the best aromas, with a great balance of minerality and green grassy agave flavors. The palate includes this plus some sweet cooked agave and a nice pepper spice.

Aromas: cooked agave, mineral, cinnamon hint, citrus, pepper, grass, vegetal, banana slight, floral, slight butter aromas, pineapple hint Palate: cooked agave, pepper, citrus, earthy, mineral, vegetal, slight cinnamon , grass A well made blanco nice and balanced the classic Cascahuin flavors for the price can’t go wrong a good supper and mixer

Nose: agave, floral, herbal Taste: agave, strong herbal and vegetal notes with grass being at the forefront Finish: shorter finish with a pleasant mouthfeel Overall: really enjoy this one, love the sweet agave punch with the grassyness. Got for about $50. Date: (04/21/24)

This reminds me of the 150 lot Fortaleza, what a bargain at 39.99 thank you old town liquor

Such a great blanco, and very reasonably priced in my area of Colorado. Other Cascahuin products are not easy to find, so this has been a go to for a while.

Nose is a bit hot but the flavor is great. Herbaceous, agave. great finish. wish I could get this locally as it would always be on my bar.
