Casamigos Reposado Tequila 750ml

Casamigos was created by longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman, who set out to make a tequila smooth enough to drink without needing salt or lime to mask it. What began as an idea among friends grew into a small-batch, ultra-premium brand, with production now overseen by Diageo Mexico Operaciones at a distillery in Jalisco.

This reposado is made from 100% Blue Weber agave hand-selected from the Highlands of Jalisco after maturing for a minimum of seven years in the region's rich red clay soil. The piñas are roasted in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours, then undergo an extra-slow fermentation lasting around 80 hours, nearly double the industry standard, before double distillation in copper-lined pot stills. The spirit then rests for at least seven months in reconditioned American white oak barrels previously used to age premium whiskey, developing its golden honey color and rounded character.

The nose shows caramel with hints of cocoa, vanilla, and cinnamon. On the palate the tequila is soft and slightly oaky, with dried fruit, spicy oak, and a touch of sweet agave, finishing medium to long, smooth, and lingering with notes of honey and a whisper of pepper.
