ArteNOM Seleccin 1123 Blanco 375 ml

ArteNOM Seleccin 1123 Blanco 375 ML – Coming from the famous, historical, and family-owned Cascahuin Distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, you know it’s good. This Blanco spends 28 days resting in a previously held Don Amado Mezcal barrel. It’s technically still a Blanco, as it takes less than 30 days to label it as a reposado.

There is a hint of smoke and wildness that you don’t normally find in the tequilas of Cascahuin.

Provenance, The Rosales family, produces ArteNOM Blanco Histrico 1123 in El Arenal, Jalisco, at their renowned Destilera Cascahun from lower-brix valley agave is the hallmark of the Lowland tequila style: earthy, vegetal, herbaceous, and slightly peppery.

This seleccin is made from those valley plants which, once distilled into tequila, are barrel-conditioned for 21-28 days in brandy casks that previously held Oaxacan mezcal, such as high-end Blanco tequilas from the Tequila Valley were sometimes prepared in the early 1900s. For this reason, this expression is called a “Blanco Histrico.”
