Coming from the famous, historical, and family-owned Cascahuin Distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, you know it's good. This Blanco spends 28 days resting in a barrel that previously held Don Amado Mezcal. It's technically still a Blanco as it takes less than 30 days to label it as a reposado.
 
There is a hint of smoke and wildness that you don't normally find in the tequilas of Cascahuin.
Provenance, The Rosales family, produces ArteNOM Blanco Histórico 1123 in El Arenal, Jalisco, at their renowned Destilería Cascahuín from lower-brix valley agave is the hallmark of the Lowland tequila style: earthy, vegetal, herbaceous, and slightly peppery.
 
This selección is made from those valley plants which, once distilled into tequila, are barrel-conditioned for 21-28 days in brandy casks that previously held Oaxacan mezcal, such as high-end Blanco tequilas from the Tequila Valley were sometimes prepared in the early 1900s. For this reason, this expression is referred to as a "Blanco Histórico."
