You will taste four single-barrel reposado tequilas, each aged 10 months in a different barrel, including whiskey, rum, merlot, and cabernet, at our coastal farm distillery. Cachasol Tequila launched in early 2025 and quickly started earning top recognition for our innovative, additive-free recipe, including honors from Men's Journal and multiple Gold and Double Gold awards from respected spirits competitions. We call them Rare Beauties because that is exactly what they are: limited, expressive, and not built to taste like every other reposado on the shelf. Each barrel tells a slightly different story. This experience is especially great for agave nerds, but equally fun for those that simply enjoy quality spirits & stories in a beautiful setting. This is a spirits-focused evening tasting. Food is not included, so we recommend that you come early for dinner or stay afterward for food and more drink.
