After a bad exerience in my youth, I was put off Tequila. I couldnt even smell the stuff for the best part of two decades. Casamigos Blanco is made from 100% espadin agave from Jalisco, Mexico, and it is crafted using the traditional fermentation and preparation of crafting tequila. For an extra refreshing experience, you can store the bottle in the fridge or even chill your glass in the freezer. It serves as an excellent introduction to Blanco Tequilas, providing a smooth and flavorful journey. I cannot provide specific information about the use of additives in Casamigos Tequila as distillers do not disclose such details.

Figured i'd try this, have to say, it's bloody beautiful it really is. It's a very relaxing sipping drink over ice and i believe i'm becoming addicted to the classic tequila sunrise. Casamigos is a favorite among the Hollywood crowd, thanks to its co-founder George Clooney, but it’s actually got a lot of substance to go with its style. One of the smoothest, most natural tasting tequilas on our list, Casamigos is made in the Jalisco highlands from 100% agave. Clooney, and co-founder Rande Gerber, say they wanted to make, “the best-tasting, smoothest tequila that didn’t have to be covered up with salt or lime.” The best glass to sip tequila, or any spirit for that matter, is anyone that allows enough room for both your mouth and nose simultaneously. These types of glasses trap the aromas of the tequila and hold them for your nose to take in while you take each sip. Smell contributes to taste immensely, so having your senses intensified in tandem naturally makes for a more profound experience. Glassware that will work to achieve this includes Glencairn glasses, brandy glasses, or wine tumblers. There are also tequila-specific glasses called copitas, which have a tulip shape and long stem, resemblant of a champagne flute.It was then that Clooney recommended to Gerber that they create a tequila they would enjoy, one catered to their own taste. The mission from then on was never to rake in cash with an overpriced, mediocre tequila. It was to make an exceptional one that can be sipped and savored without the accompaniment of salt, lime, or anything else. Furthermore, and perhaps most valuably, they wanted a tequila you can drink a lot of and not regret the following day. Casamigos, coined from the Spanish words “casa” (house) and “amigos” (friends), aptly captures its origin story.

As we popped the bottle, we were welcomed with the aroma of heavy vanilla notes and excellent hints of tropical fruits.

While many athletes and celebrities have ventured into the Tequila industry, none have achieved the same level of success as Casamigos… at least, not yet. Casamigos Blanco: Drinking guide

The secret to Cenote’s smoothness? The company says it sources naturally filtered water from an “artesian well” located at their distillery, which sits at the base of the Jalisco volcano. Cenote says the water goes through a reverse osmosis process and carbon filters with silver ions help to eliminate any chance of impurities affecting the taste.

Made from blue agave plants in Mexico, Clase Azul Reposado Tequila features notes of spice, cream soda, apple cider, jasmine, cinnamon and honey. The bottles, meantime, are like a work of art, inspired by traditional Mexican colors and motifs. Each bottle is hand-crafted and hand-painted, so no two are alike, making Clase Azul a great gift idea as well.
