Casamigos Blanco Tequila

Terrific Tequila from Gorgeous George.

Celebrities love putting their names on brands, including Spirits. Brangelina had Rosé, Danny DeVito has Limoncello, and George Clooney has Tequila. Now, a famous signature on a bottle is often just a marketing gimmick, but Clooney’s Casamigos Blanco Tequila is a different story. Former Batman and casino heister teamed up with Mike Meldman (real estate tycoon) and Rande Gerber (businessman and Cindy Crawford’s spouse) to produce ultra-premium, handmade Tequila. Three different types of Casamigos Tequila and are produced in Jalisco, all 100% Agave Azul. The team slowly cooks the agave piñas for 72 hours and use a special yeast blend that brings out a sophisticated flavor. It takes 80 hours for the fermentation process to do its magic. So they take their sweet, sweet time to make sure the final products is worth the John Hancock at the bottom of the label.

Casamigos Blanco Tequila is one of those Spirits that don’t require salt and lime to hide its shortcomings. The sparkling liquid carries its terroir with the premium 7-year-old agave and volcanic soil of the Jalisco highlands. It’s not too much if we say the borderline obsession that went into creating this drink really shows as creamy and spicy aromas introduce oily and sweet flavors to our senses. It’s perfect for casual sipping and even focused tasting with a nosing glass. If you really must make a Tequila with something this premium, do use fresh ingredients and mix it carefully. The only way this Tequila could be better is if George Clooney brought it with his disarming smile. But we digress.
