Product Information

Although a relative newcomer to the tequila scene, Casamigos is no stranger to making a mark among both casual drinkers and tequila connoisseurs alike. Again, what could steer rookie and veteran tequila drinkers towards Patron (instead of Casamigos) is Casamigos’ aforementioned lingering bitterness in the finish. In contrast, Patron goes down the throat smoothly, aided by hints of caramel and ever-so-slight white oak smokiness. They tried 700 recipes across 2 years, finally settling on their favourite. After buying over 1000 bottles in a year from the producers they were told that to continue they would have to get a licence. At this point, they decided to go out on a whim and take their tequila public with the help of Meldman who owned the development where Clooney and Gerber were building their houses. The development was called Casamigos, hence the name of the brand, translating roughly to ‘house of friends’.

The goal was to create a smooth, natural-tasting tequila that didn’t burn going down. Living in Mexico, many mealtimes involved a tequila or two, and the pair launched Casamigos together, with the goal of producing the perfect tequila to complement their food. Casamigos is projected to ship 170,000 cases in 2017, according to the company. While that growth rate is impressive, it remains to be seen whether it can perpetuate such expansion. The brand was founded by George Clooney (yes, the actor George Clooney), Rande Gerber (a nightlife entrepreneur, known more as the significant other of supermodel Cindy Crawford) and property developer Michael Meldman. Originally meant for private consumption between the trio while their Cabo San Lucas (Mexico) vacation homes were being built, the trio tried different tequilas for some time until Clooney came up with the idea to make their own alcoholic drink. To calculate the average price, we add up the cheapest daily prices of the last 90 days and divide by 90. One brief discussion turned into a longer chat, which turned into multiple talks over lunch, golf and dinner, before Clooney and Gerber decided to step things up a notch. And then, in 2013, Casamigos was born.Seat Tube Length: dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. Casamigos Reposado Tequila is a medium-bodied tequila with a rich golden honey colour. What is the Casamigos Reposado volume/size? Much like every tequila producer, Casamigos gets its blue weber agave piñas from the red clay soil and relatively cool climate of Jalisco (Mexico). While this affects the overall price of Casamigos tequila, the owners have managed to keep costs reasonable. Casamigos Tequila is one of the most well-loved tequilas today because of it’s ultra-premium taste. The Casamigos brand is famous for being started by Hollywood movie star George Clooney, and is one of the fastest-growing tequila brands in the world.

The story of how Casamigos started is worth telling. Clooney and Gerber were sitting at a bar one night when building their new homes in Mexico, talking about how they were still yet to find their ‘perfect tequila’ despite trying so many. That night, they decided to create their own original tequila. Casamigos” is a portmanteau of “casa” — house, and “amigos” — friends. Concocted over lengthy dinners with friends inside their respective houses, which also happened to be inside a Mexican compound called Casamigos, it couldn’t really have been named anything more suitable. Casamigos also boasts of its processes used to make its mezcal variant. Launched in early 2018 as its first mezcal, Casamigos Mezcal has purely Espadin agave from Oaxaca (Mexico). The Casamigos brand is also the proud winner of several gold medals in various international spirits competitions including the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition, the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition and the Spirits of Mexico Tasting Competition.Both have different fruits, confectioneries and spices in their respective tastes, with the 1800 Añejo displaying hints of cinnamon, candied pears, butterscotch and toasted oak (plus a finish of cocoa and banana bread). What could sink Casamigos could be the finish, as there’s a slight lingering bitter feeling in the gullet as the last of the añejogoes down. Those hypothetically great ideas, worth billions of dollars, that you and your closest friends come up with over dinner? That’s almost exactly how George Clooney’s tequila brand, Casamigos, was created. Clooney, lawyer wife Amal Clooney, Gerber and his supermodel wife Cindy Crawford are all friends. ASSOCIATED PRESS Don Julio’s añejo is tasteful elegance when it comes to aged-in-oak tequila. From nose to finish, everything is bright, lightly spiced, rich and smooth, with the agave foundation of the Don Julio much evident in taste and finish. Last, the wild honey, butterscotch, lime, orange and grapefruit work hand-in-hand with the agave to create optimum tequila pleasure, from bottle opening to the last vestiges of the liquid going down the throat.
