Four Cachasol Rare Beauty Reposado bottles on the bar: Rum, Whiskey, Merlot and Cabernet Barrel

Rare Beauty Reposados

Less Rules. More Fun.

Aged tequila can get a little serious. We thought, why not have a little fun here. Cachasol Rare Beauties are limited, single-expression 10-month reposados made for the moments that call for something a little more special.

Single expressions. Limited bottles. Beautiful moments.

Rare Beauties. Special Moments.

We aged our Cachasol Blanco for exactly 10 months in four very different barrels: ex-Bourbon Whiskey, ex-Napa Valley Cabernet, ex-Napa Valley Merlot and ex-Mexican Craft Rum. Same base tequila going into the barrel. Same aging time. Four radically different results.

Cachasol has always been built around experimentation. We source our agave from coastal Nayarit, ferment with an IPA-inspired ale yeast, and look for fun ways to let curiosity lead. Rare Beauties takes that same spirit of exploration to the barrel.

Each Reposado shows a different side of Cachasol. The agave is still prominent, but the barrel changes the color, texture, aroma and flavor in a way that can never be repeated exactly.

That is the idea behind Rare Beauties. Small, singular expressions worth discovering while they last. Only a few hundred of each expression bottled, so pick up yours before they're gone.

How to Drink It

Rare Beauties are so expressive, we like to keep the pours simple.

Sip one neat after dinner, pour one over a large cube, or line up several side by side and see just how differently the same tequila can evolve.

What Makes It Different

Three Decisions That Change the Taste

01

One Bright Base Spirit

Every Rare Beauty starts with the same Cachasol Blanco, made from 100% Nayarit-grown agave and fermented with our IPA-inspired ale yeast. Bright agave character is the constant.

02

Four Very Different Barrels

Bourbon whiskey. Napa Cabernet. Napa Merlot. Mexican craft rum. Each Rare Beauty spends its full 10 months in that barrel. These are not barrel finishes. The barrel shapes the expression from beginning to end.

03

Exactly 10 Months

Same tequila. Same starting proof. Same aging time. Exactly 10 months later, four remarkably different tequilas emerged. That contrast is the beauty of the experiment.

Rare Beauty & Bottling

Hundreds, Not Thousands

Rare Beauties are single expressions made in tiny quantities. Only hundreds of bottles of each U.S. release exist.

When this release is gone, the exact combination of agave, fermentation, barrel and time goes with it.

Only 750 bottles across the three U.S. expressions.
