Casamigos Joven (unaged) Mezcal is produced in Oaxaca, Mexico by a 4th generation family of Mezcaleros using 100% Espadin agaves, grown for 8-9 years in Oaxaca. Once harvested, the piñas are split and laid to cook for 4–6 days in six-ton earthen pits lined with volcanic rock. Piñas are cooled for 24 hours before the crushing process begins. The agave is crushed, in the traditional method, one ton at a time by a horse-drawn tahona wheel. Depending on the season, Casamigos Mezcal ferments for 2-8 days before being distilled in covered copper pot stills, resting for up to 2 months. Each bottle is hand crafted using a unique process ensuring no two bottles are ever the same. Bottled at 40%. (Bottle size 700ml)

Nose: Fragrant herbal and fruit, with hints of smoke.

Palate: Notes of smoke and black pepper.

Finish: A long silky finish. 

Casamigos is a tequila company co-founded by American actor George Clooney and owned by Diageo since 2017. The label was launched in 2013 by Clooney, nightlife entrepreneur Rande Gerber, and property developer Mike Meldman with the intention of making tequila according to their personal tastes and for their personal use. The name Casamigos comes from the Spanish casa (house) and amigos (friends), thus "house of friends."
