Cascahuin Plata 48 is a high-proof blanco tequila bottled straight from the still, unfiltered and undiluted, preserving every ounce of raw Valley character that makes El Arenal, Jalisco tequila production so distinctive.


Crafted by master distiller Salvador "Chava" Rosales under NOM 1123, this expression is a true product of the Valley region, where rich volcanic soils and traditional production methods yield agave with pronounced mineral depth and rustic complexity. Distilled to proof and left untouched, the Plata 48 retains the residual agave oils that give it a full, weighted mouthfeel uncommon in filtered expressions.


  • Nose: Fresh mint, green agave, cilantro, and raw walnuts open with vivid, unpolished intensity.
  • Palate: A full-mouth salinity and agave sweetness lead into freshly baked bread, thyme, peppercorns, and a touch of underripe banana amargo.
  • Finish: The elevated proof drives a dry, weighted finish, lifted by a lightly honeyed sweetness and a lip-smacking herbal bouquet that lingers.

The Cascahuin Plata 48 holds its own beautifully in a Tommy's Margarita, where its herbal depth and natural salinity can shine, or served alongside a simple Paloma to let the pepper and citrus notes play off each other.


Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to open up the aromatics. Produced from highland-valley blue weber agave in El Arenal, Jalisco.

Cascahuín traces its roots to a small tavern in El Arenal, Jalisco, in 1904, and Salvador Rosales Briseño laid the first stone of today's distillery around 1955. The third generation, the Rosales Torres family, runs it now, with Salvador Rosales Torres as maestro tequilero. Valley agave is cooked in brick ovens, crushed by roller mill or stone tahona, fermented in cement and steel tanks, and distilled twice, finishing in copper. The family also distills Siembra Valles, Wild Common and ArteNOM 1123, and bottles its Plata unfiltered at still strength in honor of the founder.

LOCATION

El Arenal, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with El Arenal marked

El Arenal sits at about 1,450 meters in the Tequila valley west of Guadalajara and is known as the gateway to agave country. Its name comes from the sandy ground of the first settlement, and it belonged to Amatitán until it became its own municipality in 1923. Most of the land is flat or gently rolling farmland on volcanic rock, planted with blue agave and corn. Tequila making is the main industry, and the town lies within the Agave Landscape that UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006.
