Casamigos Tequila is a highly regarded brand of premium tequila that was co-founded by actor George Clooney, along with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman. Known for its smoothness and refined flavor profile, Casamigos has gained popularity for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Casamigos Tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, which is carefully cultivated and handpicked from the Jalisco highlands in Mexico. The agave hearts are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, allowing the sugars to develop and create a rich foundation of flavor.
After cooking, the agave is crushed and its juices are extracted for fermentation. Casamigos uses a proprietary yeast blend during this process to produce unique and distinct flavor characteristics. The fermented agave juice is then double-distilled in copper pot stills, further refining the tequila's flavors and ensuring a smooth and clean finish.
Casamigos offers a variety of tequila expressions to suit different preferences. Their Blanco tequila is unaged, delivering the purest expression of agave with hints of citrus and a smooth finish. The Reposado is aged for a minimum of seven months in American white oak barrels, resulting in a tequila with notes of caramel and vanilla, balanced by the agave's natural sweetness. The Añejo is aged for at least 14 months, developing rich flavors of oak, chocolate, and a velvety smoothness.
Casamigos Tequila has gained a reputation for its exceptional quality and has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades within the spirits industry. Its commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to creating a truly exceptional tequila have made Casamigos a favorite among tequila enthusiasts around the world.
