PRODUCT OF: Mexico
Casamigos Anejo Tequila 750ML is a 14-month aged añejo tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico. Co-founded in 2013 by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman, Casamigos started as a private house tequila before launching commercially. The agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours and then fermented over an extended 80-hour process — considerably longer than many standard tequila productions. That extra time builds a deeper, more developed flavor profile that defines the Casamigos Anejo style at 40% ABV.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Rich caramel and butterscotch lead the nose, followed by vanilla bean, toasted oak, and a subtle dried fruit sweetness. A warm baking spice quality emerges as the spirit opens up in the glass.
Taste: The palate opens with smooth, sweet agave that transitions into layers of caramel, toffee, and vanilla at mid-palate. Oak influence builds steadily, introducing warm spice and a light cocoa note. The texture is medium-bodied and noticeably rounded, with a silky quality that reflects the extended aging in American oak barrels.
Finish: The finish is medium-long, carrying lingering notes of brown sugar, toasted oak, and a faint whisper of dark chocolate. Gentle warmth settles without harshness, leaving a clean and balanced close.
How to Drink Casamigos Anejo:
This añejo is built for sipping neat or over a single large ice cube — the 14-month aging delivers enough complexity to stand on its own. In an Añejo Old Fashioned, the caramel and vanilla notes pair naturally with a dash of mole bitters and an orange peel express. It also elevates a Tequila Manhattan, where the oak-aged character mirrors the role traditionally played by aged whiskey. For a richer take on a classic Margarita, Casamigos Anejo adds depth and warmth that work especially well alongside fresh lime and a float of Grand Marnier.
Best For:
- Sipping neat or on the rocks after dinner
- Añejo Old Fashioneds and Tequila Manhattans
- Gifting to tequila enthusiasts and agave spirit fans
- Beginners exploring aged tequila for the first time

Why Buy Casamigos?
Casamigos became one of the fastest-growing tequila brands in the United States within just a few years of its 2013 launch. In 2017, Diageo acquired the brand in a deal valued at up to $1 billion, one of the largest transactions in spirits industry history. All Casamigos tequilas are made from 100% Blue Weber agave, and the brand's production process emphasizes longer-than-standard roasting and fermentation times to achieve its signature smoothness. The name itself — meaning "house of friends" in Spanish — reflects the brand's origin as a private tequila made for personal enjoyment before it ever reached the market.
