Tequila El Gran Legado de Vida Blanco

Tequila Cascahuin S.A. (NOM 1123), El Arenal, Mexico

40% ABV

 

Traditionally made tequila with all the bells and whistles of the Cascahuin distillery - additive-free, stone ovens, roller mill, cut with well water, and twice distilled on steel pot still with a copper coil.  But the agave is grown in Michoacán!

On the nose, loads of agave and minerals, a bit of citrus and earthiness. On the palate, again loads of agave. Really the star of the show. Some lime rind, a bit “green” so to speak. Very earthy but not super distinct as in Montagave lot 3. Sweet, citrusy, and very easy to drink. I’m not sure what Chava is doing over there, but he’s figured out a way to make this delicious tequila go down like water. This is definitely “smooth”, probably one of the best 80 proof tequilas I’ve had.
