Privately owned by George Clooney, longtime friend, bar & restaurant mogul Rande Gerber, and Discovery Land Company CEO & founder Michael Meldman, Casamigos Tequila is premium tequila that is –
“Brought To You By Those Who Drink It”
Named after Gerber and Clooney’s houses in Mexico, Casamigos translates to “House of friends” – and it is exactly through tequila-filled nights with friends that Casamigos was born. Casamigos was originally created for personal use, to be shared with family and friends according to Clooney and Gerber’s desire to drink the “perfect” tequila.
“We worked on the creation of Casamigos Tequila with our master distiller in Jalisco, Mexico, for years and held many blind tastings until we knew we got it right. We’ve been drinking Casamigos with friends and family for over six years,”
~ George Clooney, Co-Founder, Casamigos Tequila
“Casamigos Blanco is crisp and clear, with subtle hints of vanilla and a smooth finish, Casamigos Reposado is smooth and clean with hints of caramel, and Casamigos Añejo is a perfect balance of sweetness from the Blue Weber agaves, layered with barrel oak and subtle hints of spice with a lingering smooth finish. All expressions are great served neat or on the rocks, and are the perfect base for premium cocktails.”

CASAMIGOS TEQUILA
Casamigos is currently available in three derivations, namely Blanco, Reposado and Añejo. These small batch, ultra-premium tequilas are made from hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves, grown in the rich red clay soil and cool climate of Mexico’s Jalisco Highlands for a minimum of seven years. After harvest, the agave piñas are roasted in traditional brick ovens for seventy-two hours before undergoing an extra- slow fermentation process over an additional eighty hours, nearly double the industry standard. The Blanco is rested for two months while the Reposado and Añejo are aged 7 and 14 months respectively, in premium American white oak barrels, reconditioned after being used to age the finest premium whiskey.
The new standard in premium tequila, Casamigos is available in the United States, Bahamas, Canada, Hong Kong, and the UK via Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.
