Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend Tequila

Product Description

Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend: Two Oaks, One Elegant Añejo

Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend is the small-batch brand’s first añejo, released in June 2020. It’s two styles of 100% Blue Agave añejo, aged separately in new French oak and new American oak barrels, each chosen for its own flavor, then blended together. The brand says the result is an agave-forward tequila with infinite richness, elegant and smooth. It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

The barrels are custom-made and toasted by Casa Dragones’ own Maestro Tequilero and master cooper to complement its tequila. Casa Dragones was founded in 2008 by Bertha González Nieves, the first woman accredited as a Maestra Tequilera, and Robert Pittman. It’s made with modern, sustainable production methods in small batches.
