Cachasol Tequila is making waves even before its official U.S. debut in early 2025. The brand recently clinched Double Gold at the Latin American Spirits Competition in Guadalajara, Mexico. Their “Epic Strength Blanco” (48% ABV) earned the prestigious Double Gold and Best-In-Class Finalist titles, while their “Blanco” (40% ABV) took home a Silver medal. This recognition solidifies Cachasol as a standout newcomer in the tequila world.
Crafted by founder James Montero—an industry veteran with experience at Jose Cuervo, Don Julio, and Dogfish Head—and 5th-generation master distiller Jimmy Villalobos Sauza, Cachasol combines American craft brewing innovation with generations of tequila mastery. “By combining IPA-inspired fermentation with traditional distillation—focused on pure quality agave, unique yeast, water, and patience, nada más—we’ve crafted a tequila with intense citrus and floral aromas, roasted agave, and a fresh, herbaceous profile,” says Villalobos Sauza.
The name Cachasol, meaning “to catch the sun,” is inspired by the agave plant’s ability to capture the sun’s energy over years. Cachasol celebrates living in the moment and sharing life’s energy. Or as they say, “Cacha Diem!”
Opening in early 2025, the Cachasol Experience at Rancho del Mono near Punta Mita’s luxury resorts and Sayulita’s surf charm will bring this vision to life. This 10-acre destination will feature exclusive small-batch tequila tastings, an ancestral-style Raicilla distillery, farm-to-table dining, and immersive agave education. “It’s like Napa Valley,” says Montero, “but with endless agave fields, ocean breezes, and unforgettable sunsets.”
For those who can’t visit, Cachasol’s award-winning tequila will launch across the U.S. in early 2025. Preorders are now open at cachasol.com, with shipping to 46 states.
