If you want to taste what tequila is really about, Cascahuín Blanco is a beautiful place to start, and it is one of the bottles we are proudest to pour at Camp West in West Seattle. This is traditional, family-made tequila with real agave character: bright, earthy, and full of life. For guests who have moved past the mixto well and want to explore additive-free, terroir-driven tequila, Cascahuín is a standout on our agave list.
About the Producer
Cascahuín is a family-owned distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, with a heritage dating back to 1904. Today master distiller Salvador “Chava” Rosales crafts the tequila, and the distillery is widely respected for helping revive a traditional, old-school style of tequila making. The name comes from a nearby mountain, often translated as “mountain of light.” This is a producer that earns the loyalty of agave enthusiasts.
Agave & Region
Cascahuín Blanco is a 100 percent blue agave blanco tequila made in the lowlands (valles) of Jalisco, around El Arenal. The lowland setting tends to give tequila a more vegetal, mineral, and savory profile compared to the sweeter highland style. Cascahuín leans into tradition, using stone-oven roasting and time-honored methods to coax maximum character from the agave, resulting in an additive-free spirit with a real sense of place.
Tasting Notes
Cascahuín Blanco is soft yet expressive, leading with plenty of fresh cooked agave. Around that core you will find fresh grass, savory herbs, clean minerality, and a subtle touch of anise. It is bright and easy-sipping but full of the earthy, lowland character agave fans love. This is tequila that tastes like the plant it came from.
How to Enjoy It at Camp West
This is a sipping tequila first and foremost. We recommend it neat at room temperature so you can appreciate its agave-forward character; a splash of water can open it up further. It also makes a memorable, terroir-rich margarita if you want to taste the difference a great blanco makes. Our pour is $15. Ask your server and settle in for something special.
