Aguasol Tequila Blanco

Aguasol Tequila Blanco is distilled at Tequila Cascahuín, NOM 1123, in El Arenal, Jalisco, and rested approximately fifteen days in stainless steel before bottling at 40% ABV. The production philosophy is plainspoken: no additives, no sweeteners, just agave, water, and sunshine. This is a blanco tequila built to showcase the distillate itself rather than mask it, which makes it a relative outlier in a category where caramel coloring and glycerin are increasingly standard. Tequila Cascahuín sits in the highlands of Jalisco, where volcanic soil and elevation shape the mineral backbone of the blue Weber agave. The agave is cooked, fermented, and double-distilled using traditional methods, then given a brief rest in stainless steel to marry and settle before bottling. That short rest preserves the fresh, vegetal character of the raw distillate while smoothing any sharp edges. Cascahuín is one of the well-regarded distilleries in the region, known for production that favors clarity over embellishment. On the palate, Aguasol Blanco is agave-forward and crisp, with a distinct snap of black pepper and a subtle citrus lift that keeps it lively. The finish is clean and short, with no cloying sweetness or heavy cooked-agave weight. It sips well neat if you want to taste the distillery's work, but it's built for the margarita and paloma, where its mineral clarity and peppery backbone cut through lime and grapefruit without fading into the background. Pair it with ceviche, grilled fish tacos, or a simple wedge of lime and salt. In stock at Off Premise in Lincoln Park.
