Casamigos Anejo

Casamigos Anejo is an approachable tequila with irresistible flavour. As one of the most flavourful tequilas on the market, your troubles will be washed away by the rich, sweet, and decadent flavour of this fine tequila.

The creation of Casamigos is a compelling tale. Hollywood superstar George Clooney and actor Rande Gerber (the husband of Cindy Crawford), while building their new homes in Mexico, discussed their struggle to find the perfect tequila. Unsatisfied with what was on the market, both embarked together on a two-year journey to create their own original brand.

2 years and 700 recipes later, the perfect combination of flavours was concocted. Clooney and Gerber then gained a production licence and brought their amazing creation to the public. The brand was fittingly named Casamigos, which translates to "house of friends".

What makes Casamigos Anejo special?

The single most extraordinary quality associated with Casamigos Anejo is the fact that this tequila delivers an unbelievably potent and refreshing flavour at such a reasonable price. The Blue Weber agaves used to produce Casamigos Anejo are aged between 7-9 years making it luxuriously flavourful.

The remarkably unique flavour of Casamigos Anejo is a result of the Master Distiller who uses a unique yeast blend that sets it apart from other tequilas.

Casamigos Anejo review

Upon uncorking the bottle, the aroma of Casamigos Anejo is inviting and the first sip reveals a complex flavour profile.

Nose

Casamigos Anejo offers notes of agave, wood, and a hint of fruitiness. This scent profile sets the stage for the tasting experience.

Taste

When tasting Casamigos Anejo, you will notice the sweetness of the Blue Weber agaves, a sweetness that is rare in tequila spirits.

The dominant flavours are vanilla and caramel. These are typical of anejo tequilas aged in oak barrels. There's also a hint of oakiness which adds depth to the overall taste and complements the sweetness.

Also present is a very subtle spice note, providing a pleasant contrast and adds complexity to the flavour profile.

Aftertaste

The finish of Casamigos Anejo is as impressive as its initial taste. It leaves a lingering sweetness on the palate, balanced by a subtle warmth from the alcohol. The finish is smooth and long-lasting. It's a testament to the quality of this premium tequila and its meticulous ageing process.

Appearance

Casamigos Anejo comes in an attractive bottle with a bold black and teal coloured label with white font. While not overly ostentatious, this bottle has something better than ostentation, it has character. When you drink Casamigos Anejo, you’re drinking authenticity.

The tequila presents a rich amber colour. This is indicative of its 14-month ageing process in American Oak barrels.
