Casa Dragones Blanco Tequila 750ml

Casa Dragones was founded in 2009 by Bertha González Nieves, the first woman certified as a Maestra Tequilera by Mexico's Academia Mexicana de Catadores de Tequila, alongside entrepreneur Bob Pittman. Headquartered in San Miguel de Allende with production in Jalisco, the brand set out to compete with luxury spirits like whiskey and cognac, becoming one of the first super-premium tequilas ahead of the category's rise in the United States. After five years focused solely on a joven expression, Casa Dragones released its Blanco in 2014.

This blanco is made from 100% Blue Weber agave hand-selected from highland fields around 4,000 feet in Jalisco, where potassium- and silica-rich volcanic soil shapes the agave's character. The spirit is bottled unaged to preserve the pure, unaltered taste of the agave, produced in small batches of no more than 400 cases and filtered for clarity before bottling at 40% ABV, with every bottle individually engraved.

The nose is fresh and herbaceous with grapefruit and green apple notes. On the palate the tequila offers a semi-sweet agave character warmed by pepper and clove, finishing crisp and light with hints of almond and a bright, lingering aftertaste.
