Born at the legendary Cascahuin distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, El Gran Legado Still Strength is a rare single-release blanco tequila bottled straight from the still in a limited run of just 2,000 bottles for the US market.


Crafted under the guidance of Master Distiller Salvador "Chava" Rosales using NOM 1123 and agaves sourced from Michoacan, this blanco tequila is confirmed Additive Free by Tequila Matchmaker, representing exactly what the agave and the land intended with nothing else added. Only 1,500 liters were produced, making each bottle a genuine piece of Jalisco heritage.


  • Nose: Warm heat that softens into peppery sweetness with pops of vegetal and mineral character as it opens up in the glass.
  • Palate: Crisp yet creamy mouthfeel layered with bright mint, cinnamon, and white pepper.
  • Finish: Long and warm, finishing on rich cooked agave that lingers with satisfying depth.

El Gran Legado Still Strength is a natural fit for a classic Paloma or a minimalist tequila soda where its bold, clean character can take center stage without competition.


Best enjoyed neat or on a single large ice cube to let the still-strength expression fully reveal itself. Produced from agaves harvested in Michoacan at the Cascahuin distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco.

El Gran Legado de Vida grows its blue agave on a single estate in Michoacán, where the first seedlings went in the ground in 2017. Founder Steve Vera built the brand at the Cascahuín distillery in El Arenal and has since moved production to Destiladora Juanacatlán, NOM 1551. Mature piñas are halved, hand stacked into brick ovens and slow cooked, then fermented and double distilled. The spirit leaves the still at 55% and is brought down to 40% with deep well water, except the Still Strength, bottled straight from the still at 54.5%. The brand sums it up as No Steps Skipped.

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.
