Review by Olivia Martha

Tequila Casco Viejo Reposado is a 100% agave tequila that really lives up to the visionary style of Don Agustin Camarena. Not only was I impressed by the rich aroma and smoothness of this tequila but also by the environmentally safe production of all tequilas by Casa Tequilera Casco Viejo. This tequila absolutely made a good impression on me.

Tequila Casco Viejo Reposado is a tease to the senses with a very alluring color and smell. This tequila has a rich golden color with a wonderful agave aroma, notes of light oak and fresh spices. The true experience of Casco Viejo is in its rich agave flavor with a hint of fresh herbs and earthy cloves. It is the kind of tequila that makes you want to keep taking shots, even if your not a tequila drinker. It is also great for mixing because of the smooth taste created by its double distillation process.

Casa Tequilera Casco Viejo combines the old and well-kept tequila process with the most innovative technology. Being among the top 4 producers of agave plants and 3rd largest tequila seller in Mexico, Casco Viejo developed one of the most modern devices for recycling everything that is discarded throughout the production of tequila called the ZERO-D. Their concern for the environment and the future production of their product was a big plus in my book. Just another reason to choose their products over others.

I recommend this tequila to anyone with an appetite for great tasting tequilas with unique richness in aroma, body and flavor. There is nothing better than a tequila that carries the Mexican heritage and pride.

“In Casa Tequilera Casco Viejo, we are committed to give our best by improving our production process…We firmly believe that an improvement can be done, not only in the production of Tequila, but also in other areas such as water recycling, energy production, etc.”

All in all Tequila Casco Viejo is an intricate work of art which honors tradition, pride and history in an unparalleled experience.
