Casamigos Tequila Añejo

Casamigos Tequila Añejo is a 100% agave azul añejo from the Diageo owned brand created by George Clooney and Rande Gerber. The agave hearts are roasted in brick ovens, then fermented for at least 80 hours before distillation, and the spirit is aged 14 months in ex-bourbon barrels and bottled in small batches. As an añejo it has spent over a year in oak, well past the one year class minimum, so the wood becomes a co-lead with the agave.
The ex-bourbon American oak gives gentle caramel and vanilla notes with light hints of spice and a thread of earthiness, closing soft and even. It is a silky, rounded añejo in the brand's deliberately mellow style, easy to sip and built for accessibility rather than rustic agave intensity. Casamigos is not positioned as an additive-free brand, so it is best enjoyed on its own merits as a smooth, sweet leaning aged tequila.
