Casa Dragones Blanco Tequila

This ultra-cool, super smooth blanco has received much coverage in the press and is a favourite of Oprah Winfrey. On the nose, fresh and herbaceous with notes of grapefruit and green apple. To taste, unique balance of semi-sweet notes of agave warmed by hints of pepper and cloves. Crisp, light finish with hints of almonds and a bright aftertaste.

Named the “Best Blanco Tequila” by Epicurious, Casa Dragones Blanco is a small batch, 100% Pure Blue Agave silver tequila, crafted to deliver the true essence of agave through an innovative process that focuses on purity, for a crisp, smooth taste that is perfect to enjoy on the rocks or in signature craft cocktails.

From the headwaters of the Volcano of Tequila, the water used for Casa Dragones Blanco is exceptionally pure, natural spring water, enriched with the perfect balance of minerals. As it travels from atop the Volcano into the 70-meter deep natural aquifers, the water gathers essential minerals from the volcano’s rich soil. Finally, it is put through a proprietary process to yield the right balance of minerals, harmonising perfectly with Casa Dragones Blanco tequila.

"Our Spiritual Home As the spiritual home of Casa Dragones, San Miguel embodies the sophistication of our uniquely smooth tequila. Our name, Casa Dragones, is inspired by the legendary Dragones from San Miguel de Allende, who led one of the movements that sparked the Mexican Independence.

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.”"
