Casa Dragones’ Tasting Room and CEO Bertha González Nieves featured in luxury travel magazine, Departures. [18] For the debut of Danh Vo's Slip of the Tongue exhibition at Punta Della Dogana Venice in 2015, the featured artist and curator transformed the signature Casa Dragones Joven bottle into a limited collection of 150 Special Edition Punta Della Dogana 2015 bottles. A second installment was exhibited at the Venice Biennale's 2015 Danish Pavilion, where an edition of 666 bottles were incorporated and sold. [60]

Although it was slightly smooth and slightly sweet, THIS IS NO SIPPING TEQUILA. They call it "multiple distilled" meaning they just keep running the continuous column still and then filter it so heavily that nothing resembling agave remains for the bland taste. Tequila has an appellation of origin, like cognacs and champagne - tequila can only be produced in certain municipalities of Jalisco, Michoacan, Nayarit, Guanajuato or Tamaulipas. [12] Casa Dragones harvests its agaves in The Valley of Tequila, Jalisco, located in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt - a chain of active and inactive volcanoes across Mexico.

Tanteo’s expressions have been around since 2009, but surprisingly, their unadulterated blanco tequila didn’t launch until 2020. It was worth the wait. Only fair-trade agaves are used to make Tanteo—in fact, the distillery is owned by a co-op of farmers who grow and carefully tend these crops. The extra intention given to their agave harvests results in a superb final product, with strong minerality and citrus notes heavily leaning towards pineapple, which makes this tequila ideal for a Paloma. Just add sparkling water, a splash of fresh lime, and an optional salt rim. This blanco is bottled at 42.5 percent ABV, slightly higher than tequila’s typical 40 percent, but that small amount of extra alcohol amplifies Tanteo’s flavor profile enough to make it stand out; it also makes a terrific highball with Fever Tree soda and just a squeeze of grapefruit or lime for good measure.

Though Casa Dragones uses the hotly debated diffuser method of production, its commitment to lowering its carbon footprint has been celebrated by fellow tequila professionals. In fact, Casa Dragones is recognized by the Tequila Regulatory Council as being the most efficient and sustainably produced tequila in the industry. By utilizing steam and water for liquid extraction, the distillery is able to use less water and less energy during production while simultaneously producing less waste. The solid waste produced is then recycled to use as a fertilizer in the agave fields, while the process’s liquid waste is refined and used for irrigation. The tequila is beloved by award-winning chefs and celebrities. Casa Dragones announced an exclusive collaboration with TANE honoring September 16 and Mexican Independence. 16 sets were created in this collaboration. Each set comes with custom-crafted silver and obsidian coasters, silver tray, pepita engraved tequila glasses, silver glass identifiers, a silver bottle holder and top, and comes in a leather box. [58] The second edition of this limited set was released in 2019, and it featured a newly designed leather case, unique engravings of the silver bottle holder and top, crafted silver and obsidian coasters, silver tray, pepita engraved tequila glasses, and silver glass identifiers. It is possible that artificial sweeteners were added to mask any underlying bitterness in the taste.

I start by “nosing” the tequila by pouring a small amount in a Glencairn tasting glass, just enough to fill its wide base, which narrows towards the top to concentrate the aromas of the liquid. With blancos I’m looking for the purity of agave—it can be crisp or smooth, but it has to be there. After all, you drink a blanco to get the essence of the plant that gives tequila its character. For reposados I’m interested in how intricately the wood from the aging has been allowed to interact with the spirit. The añejos and extra añejos bring out more of the otherwise hidden flavors, while ideally subduing the oak from the barrels. But when I find the oak overpowers the spirit, that tequila usually doesn’t make my list.

This ruby golden-hued 123 Organic Extra Añejo was originally created as a private bottling for master tequilero David Ravandi’s personal collection. It is now offered to the pubic as an extremely limited release. Handcrafted from sustainably cultivated single estate-grown 100 percent organic Blue Weber agaves grown in high altitude mineral-rich red volcanic soils, and after aging in French white oak Limousine barrels for no less than seven years, it is then finished an additional six months in French Limousine oak barrels that previously held one of Napa Valley’s premiere Cabernet Sauvignons. This unique aging regime heightens the rich spicy flavors of “Diablito Rojo” with the secondary and tertiary notes of ultra-premium Napa Cab, producing a uniquely complex tequila with barrel-aged flavors of caramelized roasted agave, complex brown spices, and a rich silky texture. Only 2,500 bottles are available. At Casa Dragones’s spiritual home, one can find a custom-made tasting room, also known as the world’s smallest tequila bar. The room, which seats just six people, was constructed with 4,000 obsidian tiles sourced from the agave fields in Jalisco in an effort to convey the tequila’s terroir while visitors imbibe. Reservations must be made ahead of time, but once seated at the bar, visitors are welcomed with a guided tasting of the brand’s expressions. The brand’s ecological commitments are some of the finest in the industry. Affordable options can still deliver the desired taste profile with a punchy and peppery character. Is it good for Shots?
