Casamigos was founded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman, who were looking for a tequila that tasted great and didn't need to be masked with mixers. It was initially created for their personal enjoyment and to share with friends, hence the name "Casamigos," meaning "house of friends."
Casamigos offers three core tequila expressions: Casamigos Blanco (unaged), Casamigos Reposado (aged for 7 months), and Casamigos Añejo (aged for 14 months). All are made from 100% Blue Weber agave.
Casamigos Tequila is produced in Jalisco, Mexico, using 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from the highlands of Jalisco.
Casamigos employs a meticulous production process that includes slow-cooking the agave piñas in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours, followed by an 80-hour fermentation process, which is significantly longer than the industry standard. They also utilize proprietary yeast strains and filter their tequila multiple times, contributing to its signature smoothness.
Casamigos was created to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks due to its inherent smoothness. However, its high quality also makes it an excellent base for premium cocktails.
