Casa Dragones Tequila
Whether we’re appreciating an artfully-cooked meal at our favorite restaurant, or sitting at a bar, sipping on a spirit as it begins to work its magic in us, the editors at DS revel in the satisfaction of being satisfied. So it’s no surprise that when we first tasted Casa Dragones Tequila (available at 1-877-SPIRITS.COM for $330), we took our time getting to know this lovely sipping tequila. Casa Dragones Tequila is hand-made in small batches using pure spring water and the finest Blue Agaves that are hand picked for harvest by a Maestro Tequilero. Casa Dragones is then multiple-distilled through a modern filtration system to remove natural impurities and hand finished by the Maestro Tequilero to balance the taste, by adding the perfect amount of extra añejo tequila that’s been rested in oak barrels for more than five years. The result is a 100% Blue Agave Joven Tequila that exhibits a subtly floral nose and a smooth body, at once soft on the palate and yet alive with the complexity of vanilla, pear and spices that finishes with a clean and warming aftertaste. And as each bottle is individually crafted using pure, lead-free crystal, as well as being signed and numbered by hand, Casa Dragones Tequila is the perfect gift for tequila enthusiasts and collectors everywhere.
