Process & Profile
Casamigos Añejo is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, cultivated in the red clay soil of the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave piñas are slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours, far exceeding industry standards, which enhances their natural sweetness. Following this, the agave undergoes an 80-hour fermentation process—nearly double the usual time—resulting in a more complex flavor profile. The tequila is then aged for 14 months in premium American white oak barrels, imparting subtle notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak to the spirit while preserving the natural essence of agave.Tasting Notes
