Like the Dragones, we’re breaking new ground, creating sipping tequilas with a clean, extra soft taste.
La Casa Dragones
La Casa Dragones, the original stables where the Dragones spent much of their time, dates all the way back to 1671. Today, the house still stands on a narrow cobbled street in San Miguel de Allende. Walk past the iron gates, along the trellised stone corridor of the house, and you can feel the passion that once again resides there. La Casa Dragones is home to a new tequila that defies the ordinary. Tequila Casa Dragones is unique in every way; a testament to our spirit of independence.
A Reflection of Agave Terroir
Found in the rich volcanic soil of Casa Dragones’ agave fields in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, in Tequila, Jalisco, large black obsidian rocks were formed from a lava explosion over 20,000 years ago. Today, these majestic stones have been carefully transformed by hand into 4,000 beautiful tiles that now adorn the walls and ceiling of Casa Dragones Tasting Room.
“The opportunity to use obsidian, an iconic Mexican stone, and transform it into something of beauty to appreciate and experience in a new way was a very exciting challenge,” designer Gloria Cortina says. “This black obsidian is extremely fragile and must be worked properly to reflect all of its natural beauty and characteristics, and so crafting 4,000 tiles was a very complex and delicate endeavor.”"
