This small-batch tequila producer has been making waves-- and that's not an easy feat to accomplish in the tequila market.
Situated in the highlands of Jalisco, Casa Dragones Distillery is surrounded by some of the richest soils on earth, which is reflected in each agave plant. Matured for eight to twelve years then harvest Casa Dragones Joven Tequila is distilled using modern technique to eliminate impurities and harsh flavors, but what is this joven comprised of? A blend of unaged blanco and an 5 year old extra anejo that has aged in new American oak barrels.
Often the outcome of a marriage between young and old is disastrous (just ask Melania), but the mingling of these contrasting tequilas is harmonious as the refreshing light flavors play off the complexity of the anejo's mature oak flavors.
The perfect gift for any tequila lover as this set comes with 2 crystal glasses etched with an intricate pattern.
Notes: Smooth, medium-bodied. Aromas and flavors of citrus, vanilla, pear, agave and hazelnut
Pairings: Skirt steak, gumbo, roasted corn
Serving Suggestions: Neat or on the rocks
Region: Mexico
Alcohol Content: 40%
