A revolutionary Mexican tequila by Casa Dragones

Casa Dragones, female-led tequilera excellence

Founded in 2009 by Bertha González Nieves, the first woman certified as a “Maestra Tequilera,” and Robert W. Pittman, co-creator of MTV, Casa Dragones has established itself as a revolutionary Mexican super-premium tequila. Based in the former stables of the Dragones of San Miguel de Allende, the brand handcrafts limited releases from highland Blue Agaves in Jalisco. Under the guidance of its current co-founders, Casa Dragones innovates with aging in Japanese mizunara oak casks while perpetuating the Mexican tradition of pepita engraving on crystal.

Joven, an exceptional blend crafted with artisanal techniques

Casa Dragones Joven results from a unique blend of 100% Blue Agave blanco tequila and extra-añejo tequila, aged in new American oak barrels. Each bottle has a unique character thanks to fully artisanal production in Mexico City, using pure, lead-free crystal. The bottles are hand-engraved using the traditional Mexican “pepita” technique, inherited from 16th-century Spanish craftsmanship. Each bottle is individually labeled, signed, and hand-numbered, attesting to the specific characteristics of each batch. This artisanal approach has earned Casa Dragones Joven international recognition with 96 points from Wine Enthusiast and the title of “Tastemaker’s Top Tequila” awarded by Forbes magazine.
