Pepper on palate and finish along with brine. Don’t love it but can respect the process.

I get this is the expression but the finish is so boozy it caught me off guard. Agave forward, nice sweet, nutty, full power alcohol!

My rating adjusted even higher than in my video. This is one of the blancos ever created

Aroma is full of vegetal notes. (As an aside, I usually have a glass of Suerte Leguas blanco as a “cleanser” and the Brix is more vegetal than the 7L…very surprising.) after a time, black pepper emerges fairly strongly. Vegetal aroma Carrie’s over as the primary flavor. Nice bite of peppery heat shows up fairly quickly. Nice long warm finish. Side-by-side tasting of Aniversario-Cerro-Brix. Of the three, I would choose the Brix as #1. 4-4-2003

Unique blend of three different fermentation tanks, tasted all three components separately and together. Tough to find any imperfections. Absolutely delicious, citrus, black pepper, light heat, clean finish.

Minty, peppery, agave on the nose! Very creamy, silky mouthfeel. Then it takes me on a nice ride where it’s grassy, sweet, and peppery. If anyone has ever had green chartreuse it’s very herbaceous and I get a bit of that that it reminds me of green chartreuse. The finish is long and it goes from that herbaceous to an atole note. A very complex pour that is so delicious!

Nose: Pre swirl: Minerals, fruitiness, greenish pineapple, citrus, lemon/lime, cinnamon. After a few minutes and a gentle swirl: The rich ripe agave notes amp up as does the pepper. Straw, trace barnyard funk, earthiness and anise. Flavor: An unexpected “Jack in the box” appearance of ethanol and pepper heat, cloaked in silky agave sweetness, caught me off guard. A couple more baby sips, and my palate caught up with my nose. There’s a slight smoky element going on in the background. And spices evolve. Buttery, somewhat briney. Finish: 11 Brix coats the mouth and holds the flavors and sensations for a long , lazy ride. Then gently fades into the night.

On the nose I’m picking up heavy agave, fresh lemon and orange peel, and some alcohol—it smells great. Flavors are amplified by the high ABV, with minerals and strong brine joining agave, with a long peppery finish. I really enjoy this one. Yes its a bit hot at 106 proof, and there’s a touch more brine then I prefer. But it comes together nicely and is an excellent new HP tequila.

The aromas jump out of the glass. It’s an excellent nose that’s full of buttery cooked agave with bright citrus (lime, lemon & orange) zest and earthy minerals. There’s some earthy pine, zesty green peppers, light alcohol vapors, and heavy brine. It’s bright and aromatic while still being dense and complex without being confusing. The aromas meld well together. I love this nose. The mouthfeel is amazing. The tequila is viscous and buttery while simultaneously being savory and spicy. The buttery-cooked agave is accompanied by savory & spicy peppers, herbs (rosemary & sage), dark vegetal notes and a deep earthy quality. The minerality is present and there's a hint of citrus rind. The finish is long and peppery with lingering earthy vegetal notes.

I've been waiting on this new product for a year! Cascahuin 11 Brix offers its distinct aromatic character as soon as you open it, it screams NOM 1123 right away. Let it open up for a couple minutes and experiment finding its organoleptic personality, I used the Jarrito glass. Once you dive in, you're received by a fresh and crisp entrance that doesn’t get overpowered by the superior alcohol compounds even though it’s a 53% abv, rather invites you to sip in. Aroma: Cooked agave, raw agave, citrus notes (orange peel/limon), white pepper, grass and herbal notes (spearmint) and briny/mineral nuances. Flavor: Heavy cooked agave that just coats your mouth instantly that suddenly drops with a buttery texture. The agave sweetness is balanced out with fruity notes (apple and banana), floral orange blossom and central valley Jalisco petrichor (wet earth), sweet citrus notes (orange, mandarin, grapefruit), some baking spices come and go (cinnamon powder?) and herbal notes (anise, spearmint, green bell pepper) Minimal alcohol attack even being a high proof at 53% abv, you really get to enjoy an extraordinary profile. Definitely raises the bar for Cascahuin. Finishes up with a olive/briny (umami) that is complemented by the minerality (earthy) aspect of NOM 1123. Long finish with a sweet agave bite sensation, that is not seen in many brands. My new Cascahuin favorite ;)

I hope one day you get to try this calibre of Tequila. There are not that many that have everything. The aroma is another nevel. Roast agave, wet rocks, river running, jungle, excitement. The taste is strong, bold and with lots of personality. It is the tequila you have to celebrate the last minute goal that makes you lift the trophy.

Spicy up front, super roasted, long and lingering finish. Earthy aroma. Otherwise not much to it.

Lote: 309 121122. Bottle: 0086 Nose: alcohol sensation balanced with citric, light olives, Flavor: alcohol 76% sensation, grass, slight olives, with green tomatoes flavors. Finish: felt a little dry but quickly went away. Like the pooping candy, I feel the sweetness popping around. Sweetness persists.

Loved this mouthfeel and taste. Had a creamy finish with nice pepper notes and hints of apricot and cherry. Nose is green with hints of lavender and mint.

Cooked agave and some smoke on the palate with subtle sweetness. Minerality to it as well. High proof burn but lots of flavor.

It took a while to find this one. I had given up. But Cantina Mayahuel in SD is really well stocked. Aroma is amazing with slow roasted sweet agave and some strong alcohol heat. It has that lovely Cascahuín minerality as well. Super clean taste with tons of sweetness from the agave. A good punch of pepper helps to say “hola”. The finish is long and evolves nicely reminding you of the experience. This is different than other Cascahuín offerings mostly with the super oily, thick mouthfeel. Really incredible. Loses a couple points for value and rarity. Love it!

106 proof tequila is no joke, very hot, lots of pepper in the finish. Nice flavor of agave and citrus. I love a good still strength tequila but this one is a little harsh.

This is awesome juice for sure! Love it’s unique profile and complexity. One of the most interesting tequilas I’ve encountered. I’ll start by saying I wish I loved it more MD Salvador loves to push his creativity to another level and has done an exceptional work with this juice blend. 3 tequila blancos fermented in different vessels, wood, cement and stainless steel. I found the aroma to be different experience than the pallet. I waited a several minutes for it to open up and I’m sure if I waited longer that might have been even better. On the nose it’s bright with cooked sweet agave citrus and brine with black and white pepper and earthy herbal notes. On the pallet not so much citrus. The sweet agave is awesome but dispersed quickly. Still there’s some white and black pepper. I found mostly white pepper oregano anise olive and brine and this robust fresh earthy chewy layer somewhat clay like and it was as to much a bit overpowering. Yet there’s still plenty to like like a buttery viscous mouthfeel.
