Casamigos Mezcal

Casamigos began as a tequila between friends who didn't fancy flying with harsh agave spirit in their luggage. The mezcal builds on the same philosophy: simple, clean and made for drinking, not just studying.
  • Bottle of Casamigos Mezcal Joven with clear, colourless contents
    Item no.: 222278654792-2021-02-0018

    Smoke rising from earthen pits, the crunch of the tahona wheel, the heavy scent of roasted agave - Casamigos Mezcal Joven carries Oaxaca's craft with it in every drop.

    Expert Description

    Casamigos Mezcal Joven is a Mexican Joven Mezcal made from 100% agave, bottled at 40% ABV.

    The mezcal is produced in Oaxaca by a family who have worked the craft for four generations. Espadín agave is slow-roasted in earthen pits, crushed the traditional way with a tahona wheel and twice-distilled in copper pot stills. Casamigos was founded in 2013, and the mezcal builds on the same philosophy of a few, carefully crafted expressions. It's unaged and crystal clear, as a true joven should be.

    Tasting Notes

    Palate

    Rich, earthy agave with a subtle smokiness and black pepper.

    Finish

    Long and silky, with lingering smoke and pepper.

About Casamigos Mezcal

Casamigos Mezcal is the smoky little sibling of the house's famous tequila, built with the same goal: an easy-drinking, unpretentious spirit without unnecessary complexity. Within a few years the brand has reached huge distribution, helped along by its founders' celebrity status, and today serves as an easy entry into mezcal for tequila drinkers.

History & Background

Casamigos was founded in 2013 by actor George Clooney, his business partner Rande Gerber and investor Mike Meldman, who reportedly developed the recipe because they wanted a tequila they could actually enjoy without the hangover. Success came fast, and in 2017 the three founders sold the brand to Diageo for a sum that could reach around a billion dollars depending on performance. The mezcal came as a natural extension of the range, produced in Oaxaca under the same philosophy as the tequila.

Production & Style

The Espadín agave is grown for 8-9 years in Oaxaca before being baked for 4-6 days in traditional six-tonne earthen ovens lined with volcanic rock. The juice is still extracted with horse-drawn mills, fermented for 2-8 days and double distilled in copper stills.

Signature Style

Smoky, Round, Easy-drinking
A gentle entry into smoky mezcal, with ripe agave, light smoke and a round, almost sweet finish with no sharp edges.
