The elite tequila brand “Casamigos” was founded by famous actor George Clooney in collaboration with two close friends, Rend Gerber and Mike Meldman. For their tequila, they chose the appropriate name – “casa amigos” translated from Spanish means “house of friends”. Initially, the production of tequila was for them rather a hobby than a business, but the Kasamigos brand quickly gained popularity and recognition, becoming one of the leading in the US As a result, Diageo acquired the rights to it for a record $ 1 billion.
“Casamigos” Blanco is a young tequila, “rested” for about two months. It conquers with purity and ease of taste, in which Agave nuances are well felt. This tequila is made of blue agave grown on the Los Altos de Jalisco plateau, collected and processed by hand. Plant cores are baked for 72 hours in traditional brick kilns. For the fermentation of the drink, a special blend of yeast strains, created personally by the distiller, is used. This yeast provides a sophisticated and well-defined taste, which also opens up due to slow fermentation for 80 hours. Production of tequila “Kasamigos” Blanco ends with a classic double distillation.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
