George Clooney & Friends Love Tequila
Longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman love tequila. On the rocks, by the shot, at times, straight from the bottle. Tequila-filled nights with friends is how Casamigos was born. The idea was to make the best-tasting, smoothest tequila whose taste didn’t have to be covered up with salt or lime.
The trio worked on the creation of Casamigos with a master distiller in Jalisco, Mexico for years, and held many blind tastings until they knew they got it right. They have been drinking our tequila with friends and family for over five years now. It was never intended to be released to the public. It’s all they serve at our homes in Mexico, so it’s literally their house tequila. They are delighted that consumers and tequila connoisseurs alike enjoy the award-winning spirit. This is quality you can taste, so raise a glass with this award-winning spirit.
Casamigos is a small batch, ultra premium tequila made from the finest, hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves, grown in the rich red clay and cool climate of the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
