Cascahuin

Family-run since 1904 — small-batch, additive-free tequila crafted the traditional tahona way in Jalisco.

Additive-free tequila from the Bañuelos family's century-old distillery, including tahona-crushed and high-proof expressions.

Cascahuín Tequila: Rooted in Tradition

Cascahuín is made by the Bañuelos family at their distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, where they've been producing tequila since 1904. They cook mature blue agave in traditional brick ovens, ferment it with natural yeasts and distill in small batches, and several expressions are still crushed with a stone tahona.

The Cascahuín lineup

Blanco – crisp, vegetal and peppery. The house style in its purest form.

Tahona Blanco – crushed with the tahona for a rounder, earthier, more mineral blanco. A favorite among tequila enthusiasts.

Plata 48 – a blanco bottled at 48% ABV for extra intensity, great neat or in a spirit-forward cocktail.

Reposado – rested in oak for soft caramel and spice on top of bright agave.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Cascahuin different from mass-market tequila brands?

It's produced by the Bañuelos family, distilling since 1904, using traditional methods like tahona-crushing and no post-distillation additives.

What does "tahona-crushed" mean?

It refers to extracting agave juice with a large stone wheel (a tahona) instead of a mechanical shredder — a slower, more traditional method some distillers believe preserves more flavor from the agave fiber.

Why are some Cascahuin bottles labeled Blanco vs. Reposado?

Blanco is unaged and bottled shortly after distillation, showing the agave's raw character; Reposado rests in oak barrels for a few months, picking up a light golden color and rounder flavor.

What does "additive-free" mean for tequila?

It means no coloring, glycerin, or flavoring agents were added after distillation — common practice at many large brands but avoided here to keep the spirit closer to pure agave and oak.

Sipsy doesn't lab-test products for additives. "Additive-free" here reflects the producer's published production information and third-party verification programs, which can change from batch to batch.

What is Cascahuín Plata 48?

A blanco bottled at 48% ABV, a little higher than standard tequila. It's bolder and more aromatic, and it holds up well in cocktails like a Ranch Water or a spirit-forward margarita.
