Casa Dragones ~100% Blue Agave

The Wine Chixs are always up for new tasting opportunities…even when it means spirits instead of still or sparkling wines.  Have your tried Casa Dragones  yet-  a 100% Blue Agave Tequila?  If no, you’re missing something very special.

Handcrafted in small batches in Tequila, Mexico, Casa Dragones is a 100% Blue Agave Joven tequila made with a unique process to be exceptionally smooth – so smooth that it can only be called a sipping tequila.

Co-founded in 2009 by Bob Pittman, a former AOL Time Warner COO and a founder of MTV and Pilot Group, and CEO Bertha González Nieves, Casa Dragones is made with focused attention to detail and a commitment to perfecting a limited edition sipping tequila .

The brand’s Maestro Tequilero individually selects the finest blue agave plants and hand-finishes each bottle by gently balancing platinum tequila with a hint of extra añejo. Each bottle is handcrafted from pure, lead-free crystal and individually engraved, hand-labeled, numbered and signed. Can’t get more luxe that that!

 Maestro Tequilero and a select group from the Academia Mexicana de Catadores de Tequila (Mexican Academy of Tequila Tasters) participated in writing the following tasting notes.

Body & Color — Rich silk body, with brilliant platinum hues and long pronounced legs, indicating a full body with a sleek texture on the palate.

Aroma — Fresh and inviting, subtle floral and citrus aroma with notes of sweet roasted agave.

Taste — Soft and smooth with hints of vanilla and spiced undertones, balanced with delicate notes of pear.

Finish — Clean, warm finish with hints of hazelnut and a bright, open aftertaste.

Casa Dragones is available at select retailers and premiere restaurants and bars . For more information visit www.casadragones.com
