About this deal

The Casamigos brand is also the proud winner of several gold medals in various international spirits competitions including the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition, the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition and the Spirits of Mexico Tasting Competition. Again, what could steer rookie and veteran tequila drinkers towards Patron (instead of Casamigos) is Casamigos’ aforementioned lingering bitterness in the finish. In contrast, Patron goes down the throat smoothly, aided by hints of caramel and ever-so-slight white oak smokiness. Except money was never the goal for Clooney and co-founder Rande Gerber. As a pair of millionaires, their focus was more so on creating a delicious, accessibly priced tequila. And ideally one that didn’t leave you questioning your choices from a hangover the next morning.

But Casamigos is not just celebrity hype - since it’s launching, the brand and it’s spirits have won numerous gold medal awards at various competitions such as the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition and San Francisco World Spirits Competition.Casamigos” is a portmanteau of “casa” — house, and “amigos” — friends. Concocted over lengthy dinners with friends inside their respective houses, which also happened to be inside a Mexican compound called Casamigos, it couldn’t really have been named anything more suitable. In Mexico, tequila tends to be served chilled and immediately. Elsewhere in the world, it’s often served a little closer to room temperature for optimum aroma and taste benefits. If you’re new to the world of tequila, you’ll probably prefer it chilled for a more mild effect. Both have different fruits, confectioneries and spices in their respective tastes, with the 1800 Añejo displaying hints of cinnamon, candied pears, butterscotch and toasted oak (plus a finish of cocoa and banana bread). What could sink Casamigos could be the finish, as there’s a slight lingering bitter feeling in the gullet as the last of the añejogoes down. Casamigos Blanco Tequila is a clear, light-bodied Blanco tequila. What is the Casamigos Blanco Tequila volume/size?

Casamigos Blanco Tequila comes from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, produced by the distillery ‘Diageo México Operaciones, SA De CV’. The producer of Casamigos Blanco Tequila Much like every tequila producer, Casamigos gets its blue weber agave piñas from the red clay soil and relatively cool climate of Jalisco (Mexico). While this affects the overall price of Casamigos tequila, the owners have managed to keep costs reasonable. Casamigos Tequila is one of the most well-loved tequilas today because of it’s ultra-premium taste. The Casamigos brand is famous for being started by Hollywood movie star George Clooney, and is one of the fastest-growing tequila brands in the world. One brief discussion turned into a longer chat, which turned into multiple talks over lunch, golf and dinner, before Clooney and Gerber decided to step things up a notch. And then, in 2013, Casamigos was born.

Disclaimer

Casamigos was in fact ‘accidentally’ founded in 2013 by George Clooney alongside bar and restaurant tycoon Rande Gerber and property developer Mike Meldan. Some years before, Clooney and Gerber were at a bar one night reflecting on how they still hadn’t found their ‘perfect tequila’ despite all the bottles and brands they’d tasted, so doing what any sane tequila-drinking multimillionaire would do, they decided to create their own. The story of how Casamigos started is worth telling. Clooney and Gerber were sitting at a bar one night when building their new homes in Mexico, talking about how they were still yet to find their ‘perfect tequila’ despite trying so many. That night, they decided to create their own original tequila.

Don Julio’s añejo is tasteful elegance when it comes to aged-in-oak tequila. From nose to finish, everything is bright, lightly spiced, rich and smooth, with the agave foundation of the Don Julio much evident in taste and finish. Last, the wild honey, butterscotch, lime, orange and grapefruit work hand-in-hand with the agave to create optimum tequila pleasure, from bottle opening to the last vestiges of the liquid going down the throat. How to Drink Casamigos

How to Drink Casamigos

Casamigos Reposado Tequila is made from hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves from the rich soil of the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, aged for 7 months, giving it that beautiful silky-smooth oaky vanilla taste.

Alongside Casamigos Blanco Tequila, the brand also produces it’s popular Casamigos Reposado and Casamigos Añejo Tequilas, along with other non-tequila spirits such as mezcal.Although a relative newcomer to the tequila scene, Casamigos is no stranger to making a mark among both casual drinkers and tequila connoisseurs alike. Casamigos Reposado Tequila is one of the three tequilas (the others being Casamigos Reposado Tequila and Casamigos Añejo Tequila) from the brand ‘Casamigos’ founded by George Clooney and his two friends Rande Gerber, a bar and restaurant tycoon, and Mike Meldan, a successful property developer. Vanilla, raisins and oak wood are present in the taste, but they do not try to be the lead in the Patron añejo theater. The telltale peppery rush of agave is still in the drink, and is very much the dominant flavor. They tried 700 recipes across 2 years, finally settling on their favourite. After buying over 1000 bottles in a year from the producers they were told that to continue they would have to get a licence. At this point, they decided to go out on a whim and take their tequila public with the help of Meldman who owned the development where Clooney and Gerber were building their houses. The development was called Casamigos, hence the name of the brand, translating roughly to ‘house of friends’. Casamigos also boasts of its processes used to make its mezcal variant. Launched in early 2018 as its first mezcal, Casamigos Mezcal has purely Espadin agave from Oaxaca (Mexico).
