Cascahuin 55-25 Anejo Tequila
Cascahuin 55-25 Anejo Tequila is a commemorative release from one of Jalisco's most traditional distilleries: an añejo built around ex-sherry casks, 88 proof (44% ABV) in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Tequila Cascahuín, founded in 1904 by Salvador Rosales Briseño and still run by the Rosales family in El Arenal, Jalisco (Los Valles), raised its modern distillery in 1955 — the "55" in the name, marking 70 years to 2025. For 55-25 they blended 90% añejo aged 12 months in ex-sherry casks with 10% añejo aged 48 months, from agave harvested in 2017 and bottled in 2025. Production stays traditional: 100% Blue Weber agave, 72-hour slow cooking in stone/brick ovens, roller-mill extraction, open-air fermentation in stainless steel without fibers, double distillation in copper pot stills, and no additives.
Tasting notes (retailer consensus): roasted/cooked agave, dried stone fruit, baking spice, nutty oxidative sherry notes, caramel, vanilla, and cocoa on the nose; buttered toffee, dark chocolate, roasted agave, butterscotch, cinnamon, and citrus peel on the palate; a long, buttery finish of sherried fruit over soft oak with a cocoa-dusted afterglow.
Why buy Cascahuin 55-25? Because sherry-cask añejos are rare in tequila — and this one comes from a 120-year-old distillery at 88 proof, not watered down to 80. Pour it neat next to your favorite single malt and browse the añejo tequila collection, the Cascahuin brand collection, and the full tequila collection.
Serving note: neat in a copita or Glencairn at room temperature; the sherry influence rewards a slow pour.
