Casa Dragones, Anejo Barrel Blend Tequila

Casa Dragones represents the ultra-premium end of tequila craftsmanship—a vision born from the partnership of MTV creator Robert W. Pittman and Bertha González Nieves, the first woman certified as 'Maestra Tequilera' by the Academia Mexicana de Catadores de Tequila. Founded in 2009 in San Miguel de Allende, Casa Dragones has become synonymous with small-batch, sustainable tequila production that prioritizes quality and environmental responsibility. The Añejo Barrel Blend is crafted from 100% Blue Agave and matured in two different custom-made wood barrels—new French Oak and new American Oak—then blended together at the end of aging. The tequila presents distinct characteristics: fresh floral aromas with notes of pear, figs, and almonds, complemented by palate notes of macadamia, nutmeg, and blackberry. The finish is long and round, with notes of cacao and spicy black pepper. Named a Food & Wine Top Pick in 2020, this tequila exemplifies the sophistication that premium tequila production can achieve. Excellent sipped neat to appreciate the barrel complexity.
