Casamigos: Mexican excellence driven by a shared passion

Founded in 2013 in Mexico by George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, Casamigos embodies excellence in the world of tequila and mezcal. Born of a shared passion among friends, this Jalisco estate stands out for its rigorous artisanal methods: traditional 72-hour cooking in brick ovens, extended 80-hour fermentation and proprietary yeast. Owned by the Diageo group since 2017, following a $700 million acquisition, Casamigos has established itself as the fastest-growing spirits brand in 2022. Using exclusively seven- to nine-year-old Weber blue agaves, it offers a diverse range that combines Mexican authenticity with refined flavor.

An artisanal mezcal crafted according to Oaxaca’s ancestral tradition

Casamigos Mezcal is produced exclusively from espadín agaves from Santiago Matatlán in Oaxaca. This artisanal joven mezcal is made using an ancestral Mexican traditional method more than 400 years old. The agaves are cooked in earthen pits using the traditional process, giving the spirit its signature intense, smoky profile. Bottled after a resting period of up to 2 months, this joven mezcal is 40% ABV and stands out for its velvety texture and its balance between fruity and smoky notes.
