Product Information

Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, the source of the water that gives life to Tequila Casa Dragones springs comes from the centre of the only volcano in Tequila. Casa Dragones' porfolio include three expressions: joven, blanco, and añejo Mad Wolf Photography Karla Alindahao: Why did Casa Dragones decide to create a barrel blend añejo before making a “regular” añejo? And how did the idea of aging in new French and American oak—then marrying the two—come about?

Casa Dragones is 100% Blue Agave Joven Tequila, handcrafted in small batches in Tequila, Mexico. The Blue Agave plants harvested for Casa Dragones Tequila are grown in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, one of the richest soils on earth, where they are left to mature for eight to twelve years. Once the Agaves are ready for harvest, they are hand-selected based on the level of ripeness and sweetness in the piña, or heart of the plant. While it does indeed possess smoothness, numerous other Tequilas are offered at more reasonable prices that deliver superior taste and quality. It is recommended to opt for Tequilas labeled as “100% agave” to ensure the authenticity and quality of the spirit.Casa Dragones Joven was featured in Robb Report’s list of " 20 Best Tequilas You Can Buy Right Now".

Casa Dragones Tequila Blanco delivers semi-sweet notes of agave and the warmth that brings a slight touch of pepper and cloves. Aftertaste Casa Dragones, a higher-priced Tequila intended for sipping, may not be the ideal choice for a Tequila shooter. Casa Dragones takes its name from the historic cavalry unit, the Dragones, led by Ignacio Allende, which played a significant role in the Mexican War of Independence. The puntas, or “distiller’s cut,” of agave spirits have long been considered the most coveted part of the distillate and are traditionally set aside by the producer to be enjoyed with friends and family on special occasions. Along with his 80 proof Tequila Ocho, this is a favorite drink for legendary tequila maker Carlos Camarena of El Tesoro fame. The single estate agaves were harvested from the Camarena family’s rancho La Ladera. Tequila Ocho Puntas comes off the still at roughly 128 proof and is then reduced to 101 proof, using deep well-extracted water from the nearby Tequila Ocho distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico. This results in a high concentration of agave flavors, while still experiencing the essences of the single estate “Los Patos” 80 proof blanco, which is smooth enough to be savored neat. It is extremely rare, but is worth searching out, although it is mainly found on the secondary market. However, as a more accessible alternative, we prefer the 80 proof Tequila Ocho Plata 2017 Single Estate “Los Patos” 80 proof blanco.
