Cascahuin 48 Plata Tequila (75cl, 48%)

Cascahuin 48 Plata is a still-strength blanco tequila from El Arenal, Jalisco, made from 100% Blue Weber agave. It is distilled at or near proof and bottled without dilution or filtration, in plenty of 2,500 litres or fewer. The agave is cooked in stone or brick ovens, extracted by roller mill, fermented in stainless steel tanks without fibres using deep well water, and distilled twice in a stainless pot still with copper coil. The nose brings strong cooked agave, pepper and fresh herbs, with cardamom and walnut; the palate has minty herbal notes over bitter-sweet cooked agave, honey and natural fruit; and the finish is sweet, fatty and long.
