About this deal

Casamigos is a small batch, ultra-premium 100% Blue Weber agave tequila founded by George Clooney and long-time friends, Rande Gerber and Michael Meldman. Casamigos is named after Clooney and Gerber's homes in Mexico, and roughly translates to “House of Friends”. It was originally created out of their desire to enjoy the best-tasting, smoothest tequila that didn't have to be covered up with salt or lime. So they did. They worked on the creation of Casamigos with their master distiller in Jalisco, Mexico for years, and held many blind tastings until they knew they had got it right. Casamigos was always intended for personal use, to be shared with family and friends. Casamigos Tequila was founded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman in 2013. In 2022 the brand was named the fastest-growing spirits brand of the year, after nearly tripling its brand value over 12 months according to a new report. The Blanco has a pretty mellow palate, without much burn at the nose or the finish. In testing, we found that it could definitely be sipped without any additions, as long as you don’t mind the sweet notes.

Fortunately, celebrity-owned tequilas were still a new concept when George Clooney launched Casamigos. The remarkably unique flavour of Casamigos Anejo is a result of the Master Distiller who uses a unique yeast blend that sets it apart from other tequilas. Casamigos Añejo tasting notes Nose Things start with a little more weight for the Reposado, which is what you’d expect. The agave note comes through strong, offering something cheerful, but given a sturdy base by the spice of oak. At the mid-palate, some complexity starts to sneak in. The menu includes: Classic Frozen Margarita – created with Casamigos Reposado Tequila, fresh lime and lemon juice and sugar syrup; Tropical Frozen Margarita – created with Casamigos Blanco Tequila, fresh pineapple and lime juice, Cointreau and passion fruit syrup; Cantaritos Amigos – created with Casamigos Reposado Tequila, fresh pink grapefruit and lime juice, agave nectar and sparkling grapefruit soda; Tommy’s Casa Caliente – created with Casamigos Anejo Tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, strawberry purée, fresh green chilli and basil; The Mexicano – created with Casamigos Joven Mezcal, strawberry Campari, Belsazar Rosé aromatised wine and Fever Tree Blood Orange soda; Repo Spritz – created with Casamigos Reposado Tequila, fresh lemon juice, Belsazar vermouth, prosecco and sugar syrup.

Most añejos are aged between 12 and 18 months. After distilling three times, Casa Noble ages its añejo tequila in new French white oak barrels for a full 24 months, bringing out flavors of toasted oak, butterscotch pudding, roasted agave, and dried fruits. We are delighted that consumers and tequila and mezcal connoisseurs alike enjoy and appreciate the authenticity of Casamigos. This is quality you can taste, so raise a glass with our award-winning spirit Seat Tube Length: dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. Casamigos Añejo has a unique flavor resulting from the painstakingly extra-slow fermentation process.

The Casamigos Anejo really is designed to be sipped, and you’ll lose all the complexity if you try shooting it. Over ice can help freshen up the heavier notes, but we found neat just as enjoyable in our testing. Being bottled at a moderate 80-proof (40% ABV), diluting it too much can cloud its mature character. The founders of Casamigos aimed to create the smoothest and most natural-tasting tequila that drinkers would not need salt or lime to cover up [ 2 ]. In 1942, Julio González, founder of Don Julio, finally secured the funds to make his dream of opening a distillery come true. That same year, he founded his first distillery “La Primavera” in the highlands of Jalisco and embarked upon his tequila-making journey. By planting his agave slightly farther apart, he found that he got a sweeter, smoother spirit. From there, Don Julio has become one of the best-known tequila brands in the world.

Aged for 7 months. Soft, slightly oaky with hints of caramel and cocoa. It has a silky texture with a medium to long smooth finish. The white pepper spice note builds up midpalate but won’t get too spicy. We also notice subtle hints of chocolate and wood. Finish Casamigos Tequila Blanco is also available from Drizly.com and ReserveBar.com. Should You Try Casamigos? When thinking of Tequila shots, I’d recommend Casamigos Blanco, with its crisp and vibrant taste, which fits the bill perfectly for such occasions. Food PairingsCazadores Añejo is made with 100 percent blue agave, which is fermented twice and distilled twice before spending at least a year in new, small American white oak barrels. New oak barrels have more flavor to impart, and this highland tequila boasts layers of it—think spiced apple pie, pecans, vanilla bean, a salted chocolate almond bar. It would pair nicely with dessert, but it's also wonderful sipped neat.

The three tequilas that form the core of the brand — a Blanco, Reposado, and an Anejo — are surprisingly delicious, with an easy drinking smoothness that makes up for the pervasive sweetness. But are they really worth the price? Or is it more Hollywood marketing at work?
