Casa Dragones Aejo

A truly exceptional Aejo Tequila where nothing stands between you and the Spirit.

Casa Dragones is a small batch Tequila producer with an interesting history. The Spirit is made in Tequila, Jalisco, but their spiritual home is located in La Casa Dragones in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico the original home of a famous calvary who ignited the Mexican War of Independence in 1810. Bertha Gonzlez Nieves is the co-founder and CEO, as well as the first woman to be recognized as a Maestra Tequilera by The Tequila Regulatory Council.

There is a LOT to love here. The Spirit is great and traditional and 100% Blue Weber agave and hand-crafted and yadda yadda yadda. But the magic here what sets this Tequila apart is the wood.

Casa Dragones Aejois a blend of two styles of aged Tequila: the first style is aged in custom-made French Oak barrels and the second is aged in custom-made American Oak barrels. At the end of the aging process, they blend both styles together to create their Barrel Blend. Because Oak barrels are expensive things, they get used and reused. Thats really why so many Spirits use ex-Bourbon casks there are a lot of them. The problem is that as awesome as ex-Bourbon casks are, they make everything taste a little bit like Bourbon. Thats not a bad thing. But NEW custom-made casks mean that you get to taste this exceptionally fine Tequila as pure Tequila. Agave, oak, and time Boom!
