Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh agave, vanilla, and toasted oak dominate. Hints of dried fruit, cinnamon, and a touch of citrus zest add complexity. The aroma is clean and inviting, with a subtle smoky note in the background.

Palate: Smooth and rich. Cooked agave flavors blend with caramel, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. Spice notes of black pepper and clove emerge, balanced by a gentle sweetness reminiscent of ripe pear. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, contributing a pleasant woodiness.

Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving behind a pleasant dryness. Lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco. A subtle peppery tingle remains on the tongue, inviting another sip. The overall impression is elegant and refined.

Casa Dragones Añejo Tequila is crafted using 100% Blue Weber agave, which is slowly roasted in traditional brick ovens before being fermented with proprietary yeasts. After distillation, the tequila is aged for over 12 months in new French and American oak barrels, resulting in a smooth, complex spirit with notes of vanilla, spice, and dried fruit.

Casa Dragones Añejo is aged in two distinct types of oak barrels: new French oak and new American oak. This dual-aging process creates a unique flavor profile that combines the vanilla and caramel notes from American oak with the delicate spice and tannins from French oak.

The water used in Casa Dragones Añejo comes from natural springs in the volcanic soil of Tequila, Jalisco. This mineral-rich water is naturally filtered through layers of volcanic rock, giving the tequila a distinct terroir-driven character.

Casa Dragones employs a master cooper who hand-selects each oak stave used in their barrels. These staves are then air-dried for 24 months—twice the industry standard—resulting in a more refined wood influence on the final product.
