NOTE: The review below is based on the original formula of Casamigos Tequila from 2013. The product you will find in stores today is different. The flavor profile has been modified to be MUCH sweeter and it smells like fake vanilla. As a result, we can no longer recommend this tequila to others.
George Clooney + tequila. Do we have your attention yet? The group behind the new Casamigos brand sure hopes so. They released a viral video campaign featuring Clooney, his girlfriend Stacy Keibler, Cindy Crawford, and her husband Rande Gerber, all falling into bed together after a night of drinking. (Clooney and Gerber are behind this brand.)
And the Casamigos website makes claims that caught our attention as well, including “The best tasting, smoothest tequila” and “a tequila that is smooth with no burn.”
So the question we wanted to answer was, “Is Casamigos worth all the hype?”
We initially learned that this tequila was coming to market several months ago, when a store clerk poured us a sample from an unmarked bottle he had stashed behind the counter. He told us it was George Clooney’s new tequila, and solicited our feedback. We couldn’t spend much time with it in the store, so we didn’t rush to judgement, but thought it was something that deserved examination in a better environment, using the proper glassware, and giving it plenty of time.
When we got home, we wanted to learn more about it, so the first thing we did was try to find out the NOM. The NOM is a four-digit number issued by the Mexican government to each legal entity that produces tequila. The NOM must appear on each bottle of tequila, and helps you identify the distillery where it is made. By looking for the NOM, we can start to figure out what a tequila may taste like based on where it was made. Casamigos is made at NOM 1416, which is the same distillery that makes well-known brands Avion (the “Entourage” tequila) and Clase Azul, among many others.
(By the way, if you want to have the ability to quickly look up a tequila and see what else is made in the same place, download the Tequila Matchmaker app for iOS and Android. It’s free and VERY useful. A lot of mass-produced brands that call themselves “artisanal” would rather you not have this information.)
The next thing we examined was price. BevMo in California is charging $45 for the blanco and $46 for the reposado, so it’s competing in a space where Fortaleza Blanco lives. The reposado is more expensive than another one of our favorites, Casa Noble Reposado, which retails for $43.
This price range set our expectations pretty damn high, so we picked up a couple bottles hoping for the best.
Before the blanco opened up we got faint aromas of mint and green agave. After a few minutes, some cinnamon started to come through, but for the most part, the aroma wasn’t very prominent.
Upon visual examination, the tequila clung to the side of the glass like a nice, oily tequila should, but once it hit our mouths it didn’t quite measure up with what we were expecting. It is sweet and slightly watery and lacks the sophistication and complexity of a tequila that commands this price range.
Casamigos Blanco is a relatively simple tequila with mint and cinnamon flavors, and a finish that is remarkably short.
The reposado brings all of the characteristics of the blanco, but with a heavy dose of caramel (which smells very good, by the way). It is aged 7 months in American Oak. It has a smoother mouth feel in the front, but has a slightly rougher (or ‘scratchy’) finish.
The Verdict
After spending a couple hours with Casamigos Tequila, we decided that although it was pleasant and sippable, it really didn’t live up to its price tag.
The question now is can its celebrity endorsements keep the brand afloat?
– Grover & Scarlet
it does sound a little disappointing – I placed high hopes this would elevate the “sip don´t shoot” mantra of good tequilas – the Casamigos web site originally had something about it´s unique distillation process created a tequila that would avoid bad hangovers – this statement has since been removed probably a good thing – then that BevMo was the exclusive seller of this product – apparently not true
I noticed that as well, a tequila that would avoid bad hangovers. I can drink half a bottle (750/2), wake up, go to work, and perform work to company’s satisfactory. but, I might have a hangover. so I did noticed that this tequila is advertised as reduction in hangover.
I noticed George Clooney is drinking with labor workers and there is no sunset, (so did the workers drink the rest of the day and go to work the next day? I don’t know. did they have a hangover? I don’t know.) could I drink this tequila and work with the workers shown in the video? I think I can. Yes, I do think I can, maybe not you, but I think I can. I’m an experienced tried and true seasoned worker/drinker.
BevMo, now I have more research to do. Who is BevMo? oh my gosh, I think I will just spend the money and drink a bottle rather then research BevMo….hahaha, yikes,
I really won’t spend the money on it, but it is on my Christmas list, so I guess I have 45+days to research and write/hype/get excited about it before my final review.
so my question is, what is your experience in drinking and hangovers? How much tequila do you drink in an evening and do you experience a hangover? What brand do you drink and do you have a hangover?
General questions above.
thanks for your time.
Clase Azule is impressive AF! But its priced as such. How does this compare fo Clase?
Just tried George Clooney’s tequila. Not good! Been drinking tequilas for 40 years from many deferent countries. Would not recommend this one.
Timm.. you can’t get tequilas from many different countries, sir. Tequila only comes from Mexico.
So inherently, your statement is false.
I, on the other hand, have tried multiple Tequilas throughout my 30 years of drinking. I place Casamigo’s high on the scale of ease of drinking, price, and availability. Here at work, Casamigos Silver is our GOTO tequila. I personally rate it above Patron Silver and Don Julio in taste and cost. Though, Patron Roca is actually pretty darn good!
Agree, I was hesitant to try it, but after I did I can say its one of the best I ever had , way better than all the popular brands commercialized in the US.

@ZeroMan818 You are both a smartass and a dumbass for making a comment that you can’t get tequila from many countries. I know what you are trying to say, but this article proves that you are completely, inaccurately, and utterly wrong. While tequila might have originated in Mexico, there is no written/unwritten rule in place that states the no country cannot create their own. Whenever you have the urge to make a smart comment ensure it is accurate before making it.
Tequila can only be made in Mexico for the same reasons as port, sherry and champagne. There is in fact a written law ” in place that states the no country cannot create their own.”. Anyone could create an identical product from agave, but the name can not be “Tequila”. “Agave Distillers” is a company in South Africa bottling between 12,000 and 15,000 cases of the spirit a month, but they can’t use the word Tequila on their product. So… “smartass and a dumbass”. “Whenever you have the urge to make a smart comment ensure it is accurate before making it.”
There’s no rule saying tequila has to come from Mexico, he says?
I’m dying with laughter. Somebody get this kid a White Claw.
Moron, you are a smartass and dumbass. Lmao. You really should have a clue what you are talking about before you speak. What an absolutely stupid response to make, you are a fool.
Four states in Mexico can produce T according to Mexico laws, the rest produces Mezcal. Outside Mexico its NAFTA and EU and many more countries that respect that, perhaps you been to a country outside those states.
Oooohhhh i am so glad to hear that. I was on a search for a good tequila and really didnt want to switch fr patron silver but u said there is a roca?? I’ll be on a hunt.
Moss: Many of those laws no longer apply. Sparkling wine, for instance, no longer must come from the Champagne valley of France to be called Champagne. I know where you are coming from, to me Champagne only comes from the Champagne valley and is produced via méthode champenoise; and there is no such thing as a vodka martini. Nonetheless, that level of snobbery is my own personal vice, and using it to infer someone is ignorant about good drink is a huge stretch. That being said, one of the best vodkas Ive ever had is not Polish but made right here in the US – from potatoes no less. Same is true for many Pinot noirs that put burgundy to shame. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a superior tequila can be produced outside of Mexico. Frankly, I’ve never been one for tequila and find a well aged mezcal far superior.
Not snarky, but just pointing out that tequila from any state of Mexico (and certainly any other country) not included in the appellation of origin is not “tequila.” It could be agave-distilled, but tequila has specific and legal points of origin.
And that’s a fact Jack (I mean Jason).
🤔 what other countries produce tequila amigo ? As far I know is only one in the entire world,but perhaps in the near future other’s would,like Japan making whiskey 😵💫😵💫
Hi there — The Casamigos tequila has been one of our most successful new product launches at BevMo!. We can hardly keep it in stock!! We found the Reposado to be really smooth and delicious, and the Blanco perfect for margaritas and Palomas. Cheers!
Kris, in what branch? And what tequila brand sales are being affected by the introduction of Casamigos?
TKs.
why would anyone put good tequila in a margarita??
Blancos are for margaritas… Añejos are for sipping :) I love the Casamigos. I alternate between that and the Tequila Ocho. I can drink a lot of either without a hangover.
I have to disagree with you on that one! Really good blancos are the best types of tequila to sip. I used to think the same way, but then after drinking some incredible blancos, my mind was changed.
The owner at my favorite Mexican restaurant also informed of this common misconception
Agreed
Perfectly good reasons. Especially if you are not using a nasty sugar water mix. For the discerning. Why drink crap?
My sentiment exactly!!! Its just wrong!!
Only because the name that’s tied to it. Honestly, not great. It’s good, but not what I’ll order when out.
I like it very, very much! I received a bottle as a gift and I will enjoy sipping it and will probably buy another when I am finished with it! :)
I carry this tequila at my bar in Santa Monica. Cindy was in drinking it with friends so at least they do support their brand!! I like the tequila but I do agree it is pricy. Especially since you can get so many great 100% agave tequilas for under $20 these days (Agavales, Milagro, Lunazul)…
We have it as our special top shelf right Margarita now and the fact that it is George Clooney does indeed help with sales. Most customers like it pretty well, in a Margaritas anyway.
But personally. I agree, definitely can get better or same quality cheaper.
I tried it. I was not expecting much from a celebrity Tequila, but i was very pleasantly surprised. I found it minty with a touch licorice and no burn that makes you squint your eyes and turn your head. No lime is needed, actually my girlfriend and I found that it took away from from the flovor. We do like the ritual of salt, shot, lime, but discovered that a strawberry finishes very nicely with it. The price is a little high but it falls in line with the tequilas that i typically drink. Those being Don Julio, Cabo, Patron, Casa Noble and Avion. I will (and have) bought it again.

Paid $37.99 for a 750 ml bottle of the Blanco, which didn’t seem too bad. I started with it chilled and felt like it tasted watered down and I was fighting to taste it. I had just come from an establishment and was drinking Patron Silver chilled, which was excellent and each sip was rich with flavor. I then tried the Casamigos out of the bottle at room temp and was indeed able to enjoy and experience the taste of the tequila. It was very much an easy drinking tequila at room temp if one is really into enjoying it straight. It is certainly different from any other I have had. Since the goal of the tequila proprietors was to create a product that was one that could be sipped without salt and lime, I believe they succeeded. But, as I stated, unless you want the taste of watered down alcohol, drink this straight at room temp and enjoy. Not sure I would buy this again, but I am happy with my purchase and experience. Viva Mexico!
Hey, I wanted to let you know that I have attached your web site address to my Blog. My Blog is basically, all things Baja and or Mexico.
Stop by and take a look and let me know that it is OK to post your link.

I received a bottle of the Reposado for Christmas. We thought it so delightful we almost finished the bottle in a single sitting. No hangover. Still too expensive for me.
Picked up a bottle of the Casamiagos Reposado at my favorite Liquor store. I tried it because a friend of mine was raving about it. So on a cold Saturday night I opened the bottle and left the room for awhile only to come back to a room that smelled like wonderful tequila.
Now it had my attention! I poured 3 fingers into a sniffer and had my first taste.
Wow it was awesome, smooth, long on flavor and a touch of caramel and worthy of another drink.
I loved it. It’s tastes like a triple distilled, very clean, different and less complicated blanco. It is so easy to drink. It has a nice creamy vanilla and floral nose and the taste and is light in the oil, and smooth is an understatement. It is so pleasant to drink. Be careful!!
Lou, love your reviews!
Just bought some Casaamigos Anjeo for $34 (after instant rebate) from Costco…How’d I do….??
Keep up the good work…
Costco is the best place to get it… when they have it! I drink a LOT of añejos. I don’t bother with the other types. It’s still cheaper than drinking wine, and I feel it’s better for me!! ;)
I prefer reposados. It sits for a few months in plain casks, not long enough to adulteratemthe flavor. You can taste pure agave. Anejos are considered the best but after sitting for a year absorbing flavors from the cask, it no longer has that natural pure agave flavor as it has had plenty of time to absorb whatever was in the cask prior, plus the wood. Just my personal preference. I love 18 year aged rye, but not tequila. Casamigos reposado has the best pure agave flavor I’ve tasted. No burn. Sweet. First sip was startling. I knew I’d found something special. I’ve been in search of the perfect sipping tequila for a long time. This probably isn’t it, but it will do until and IF the perfect one comes along, and the wait isn’t going to bother me.
As much as I do love a good tequila and there are some very good aged one in the higher price range …those of us that appreciate the flavor and finish of good liquor generally drink scotch and don’t mind paying the higher price for a good one
The Casamiagos Reposado is a wonderful reposado. Margaritas have a very bad rap….most people think that margaritas is a good use of inferior tequila, not true. If done right margaritas can be a unique and sophisticated as you wish. Thy this and see if this isn’t an incredible margarita..
4 oz Casamigos Reposado
the juice of one Mexican lime. or key lime. A good one…not a Persian lime.
a very small amount of organic agave nectar….maybe 1/4 tsp. but it is to taste. Remember making a good margarita is an art form….
That’s it..nothing more. Shake and pour over ice…now tell me..
You know how to make a margarita!.. Anyone who uses a margarita “mix” should be lined up in front of a Mexican firing squad.
I’m sure this is a very good drink, but it’s a tequila sour unless you add a little triple sec too
Not bad at all… Tried both Blanco and Reposado in Miami and liked it a lot. It is almost as smooth as it gets. The Clooney & Friends allure made me try it actually, I’d never taste Patron.
It’s wonderful. Who sips on a Blanco anyway. Anywho as a bartender people seem to love it …and then I tell them it’s His tequila. It’s a good middle of the road for me ($). Orange slice with the rep my friends. Yum!
Many tequila aficionados sip blanco tequila. It is the basis of everything that comes after. There would be no reposado or añejo if it weren’t for blanco tequila. Personally I am not a fan of Casa Amigo blanco and reposado for all the reasons stated above and the recently released añejo is a disappointment as well.
Tequila connoisseurs sip on blancos. Amateurs not so much.
Smooth as can be! The blanco is great neat, on the rock, or with a touch of ruby red! I can’ get enough! Really, I can’t. The bars around here aren’t yet picking it up, but they should. It’s incredible in cocktails, but I love it right from the bottle. The natural sweetness from the agave comes right through, as it should. I didn’t want burn from my silver, just raw cactus, and it paid out. Just picked up the repo after sipping it at lunch today. Can’t wait to meet the older brother!
I bought a bottle of the shelf at Costco a year or so ago. Had no preconceived notions about it (nor did I know the price, which was not on the shelf). I took it to a tequila tasting party at the Strawberry Music Festival but the party host forgot to put it on the table. Later they sent me a photograph from a campground where they and some other friends declared it to be very, very good.
I finally got to try some this week and found it to be as they had described.
You can read reviews all day long and believe them or not.
I’m not a tequila lover…only really drink it neat at the party…but I did like this one over all the others we tasted.
Nobody likes everything that someone else likes. I’d suggest giving it a try. I like it, maybe you will too.
I found it a little sweet with some notes of…maybe caramel. Very smooth.
Go with it
I tried the Anejo last night and really enjoyed it. The fact that it has celebrity backing will help interest-but if the quality is not there-the interest will be short lived.
Have it room temperature in a snifter and enjoy.
I do not think this is expensive compared to some other premium brands- just enjoy it…
The añejo was so smooth and perfect sipping tequila I could drink it all day and night.
Our restaurant has a decent history of moving top shelf tequilas. Casa Noble has always been an easy sell and a staff favorite but customers have made it clear; Casa Noble has taken the second seat to all Casamigos offerings. As an owner, I only have three tequilas at my home bar and Casamigos is two of them!
I’m with Ian, the anejo is extremely smooth and is one of my favorite tequilas to sip on. the price point is very fair as well. Tip of the cap to George and Randy – and hey – you can’t knock their marketing, it’s great!
Had the Anjeo at a friend’s birthday party where he was got it as a gift. Pleasant, but without the depth of flavor and complexity of a premium Anjeo. I would have pegged it at about a $25-$30 bottle. Googled it when I got home & was surprised it was selling @$40+.
Save your money. It’s decent, but not worth it.
I recently experienced Anejo on a great fishing trip.the atmostsphere was perfect .I couldn’t stay away from it.I was warm and at sea level it was awesome.This tequila is for people who know how to party.

This has become only tequila we will drink. I find the Reposado very easy to drink its sweet with caramel notes… Who drinks Blanco straight up? We are spoiled as I can get it in my neighborhood for 37.00 a bottle. I figure in LA a top shelf drink on a night out will be close to 20.00. So no issue paying for a bottle. It has become a family go to and its not going anywhere.
My Gringo Friends
It’s ok
Hahahaha
You nailed it!
It’s ok but all the hype is due to celebrity endorsements and marketing
Brown Lab
I am an avid tequila drinker, however, I have noticed headaches (like bad hangover headaches) after drinking Casamigos blanco. Maybe the anejo is better? Regardless, I am going to back to Patron Silver.
If your go to is Patron Silver, you are not an avid tequila drinker, there are waaaay better ones out there.
I have drink many tequilas to buy travel to Mexico and around the world and I must say that this is one of the worst he was I have ever tasted.
Does your blog folks know you are paid by Tequila Fortaleza to promote their brand?
Which is a great brand by the way.
It would be good to disclose which Tequila brands you get a commission, paid to push, or get a free travel or visit to when you take your Tequila Destination tourist and industry folks to Jalisco.
Thanks
Sorry Rick, but Fortaleza doesn’t pay us to say great things about their product. They just make a great tequila, and we appreciate that. In this day and age of tequilas being built on marketing hype and celebrity endorsement, there are very few that deserve respect by upholding traditional processes. We tell as many people as possible about them because we want them to succeed. We are fans.
The mere fact that the self-aggrandizing, arrogant, professional @sshole George Clooney is associated with this brand of tequila ensures that I will never purchase it. There is an abundance of quality, 100% agave tequila in the market, and, spending upwards of $50 for a bottle when excellent brands are available for around $23 per liter is a complete waste of money.
People who buy liquor based on some sort of “celebrity” marketing association and the desire to obtain some sort of perceived cachet, are fools.
I tasted the reposado last night at a party. The host was hyping it up, saying words like: small batches, premium, 100% agave, clooney. At first I thought, well, okay, I’ll try it, but why should I care about clooney? I drank it straight from the bottle. I was expecting more. It was just okay, average tequila. Not worth the hype for sure. The party host was so proud and wanted to know what I thought. I didn’t have the heart to tell him it was just ok, not great. Funny thing, my husband tasted it and said it reminded him of Avion. It was interesting to read they come from the same distillery.
i agree Clooney is not the first to start believing their own publicity. When a actor starts thinking they are a authority on everything is just very unattractive . Clooney is just one of a long line of actors who is on his way out because of arrogance. Hey George, dont let the screen door hit ya
We’re from Vancouver (Fort Langley) CANADA 🇨🇦 The taste of CASAMIGOS (in our opinion) is the smoothest & the BEST tasting Tequila we have experienced compared to the cost of tequilas over $100.00’s . The price point of Casamigos is less expensive & tastes much better ! We will ONLY purchase Casamigos from this day forward. Thank You to the sales associate at the BCLiquor store👍🏼👍🏼
Great review. I will stick with my DJ 1942.
ehhhh……..tried it………several times………. and like so many other “celebrity” endorsed products, this spirit does NOT make the grade
fine on the front of the the palate ……….. aftertaste not so much
Sorry to hear all the negtive reviews. I find this tequila smooth and tasteful. Will see tomorrow if it lives up to the no or less hangover hype. Will buy again regardless. Don’t care about celebrity hype. Smooth tequila.
So, I happened upon Casamigos Blanco the other day with a couple of fans. I try to be in ‘the know’ when it comes to Tequila, so I knew about Clooney’s new tequila for quite awhile, but never took it upon myself to get a bottle.
Fast forward to last weekend and I invited two friends to share a Tequila with me. Typical Tequila skeptics (they only shoot Tequila). I prefaced the drink with you should sip this as I had read other reviews of this Tequila. So, for them this was the best Tequila they had ever tasted because it didn’t taste like Tequila (LOL).
For me, I agreed with my friends on the fact that this Tequila did not taste like any other Tequila that I have tasted in the past (not one).
I’m not saying it was a bad Tequila but I will say it was different and barely recognizable as Agave based alcohol. I mean it was smooth and there was a hint of Agave and vanilla, but not much of anything else. I believe for a lot of people out there, this is a good thing, for me not so much.
I will say that I like the simplicity of the bottle and it looks like simplicity carried over to the Tequila itself.
All in all, a different, very smooth and very wet Tequila. Sip at room temp. and promote with friends that are Tequila skeptics to win them over.
I think it tastes cheap and artificial.
Bought and tried tonight.
$60 for Añejo
I would only consider using this for margaritas, as it is horrible for sipping.
I would recommend Herradura Añejo ($45) over Casamigo by a landslide.
Seriously considering giving this bottle away for free.
I love it…it’s currently my favorite Reposado tequila and drink it every evening. I won’t pretend to be an expert but I find it the best sipping tequila I have had. When I first picked up a bottle I didn’t even read the label that carefully and didn’t even notice GC’s signature on the bottle. I poured a glass on ice and took a sip and I was enlightened. So I settled into a night of sitting on the porch with a cigar and proceed to fall in love. Maybe it was the dogwoods in bloom and the frogs chirping in the background or the relaxed conversation with my wife that helped but regardless it has become my go to even over bourbon for this Kentucky boy.
I had to revisit this page since the brand just sold for 1 BILLION dollars…. Guess those of you that did not like this Tequila were in the minority.
Budweiser is the number one selling beer in America. What does that tell you?
Tobias, you are 100% right!!
Eat s#!t, 17 quadrillion flies can’t be wrong
Teddy…it’s called ‘ marketing’ ….and Clooney is a ‘pied piper ‘ for trolling/marketing to millennials (my guess you are in that crowd?)
Most millennial don’t really have a clue what they are drinking….just mix it with sweets and identify it with the latest pretty face (Clooney)
Corporations understand this …has nothing to do with the actual attributes of the product.
My experience in drinking tequila dates back to the 1960s, well before the fancy sweet drinks, Jimmy Buffet songs, and all
the hype. In my opinion Casamigos is a millennial concoction easily marketed to millennials.
But it ain’t good tequila.
It reminds me of what the bourbon market is doing to bourbon….now the millennial can have his/ her Apple, cinnamon or cherry flavor, bourbons.
Starbucks does the same to coffee…market it, make it sweet…the millennials will flock to it
As for Casamigos ? At this price, I won’t drink it.
Probably not at any price.
Agreed. Nasty. And I’m an avid tequila fan. The blanco was NOT smooth at all. There are a lot of fine tequilas at this price point. Don’t waste your money.
My wife and I just did a tequila tasting tour at Total Wine. Casamigos was one of the offerings. Out of the 10 we tasted, the Casamigos Reposado was the best. I then bought a bottle the next week and tried it, still very good but not as good as I remember. Could be the slight cold I have OR was #9 in a 10 tequila tasting so anything put in front of us might have tasted great??? Might even be they got it out of order and we were drinking something else entirely as the instructor was also getting twisted off the tastings.
In any case, it is quality tequila BUT at a high price and their are better ones out there for the money IF you happen to know what to buy. I got back just $0,22 cents after handing the cashier over a $50 bill (which we call a Texas $5) Debating which quality tequila is better is like debating whether Ford, GM or Dodge makes better trucks or if chocolate, strawberry or vanilla ice cream is better. You will never win this argument.
Buy what you like, can afford (its your money) and enjoy the fruit of your labours. We are all on the same train, some of us have just got further down the track than others.
Stay thirsty my friends!
Ski in TX
Ski,,yours was the best comment on WHOLE page, thanks for hitting this right on the button ..
As they say ‘Drink what you like…..Like what you Drink” I paraphrase!!
I don’t understand how Clooney sold this new tequila company for $1 BILLION. The numbers do NOT support this. How suspicious. Money laundering? I wonder.
Test drove the Anejo and Blanco. Not disappointed with either. Have stuck with Cabo Waco for years but will definitely pick up a bottle of the Anejo. Price is in line with most top shelf brands sold here in AZ. Jasmine, how’s that tin foil hat fitting ya. Money laundering doesn’t work quite that way.
I drink perhaps 3-4 shots a week of Dobel Diamonte. It was my preferred brand. Its probably too tasteless for most of you people. The Dobe; Diamonte is very scarce where I live so I picked up a bottle of Casamigos Blanco and found it to be very good.
Great brand marketing, as with Patron – and great, flashy, sporty, romantic hype with crew of entertainers as with several other tequilas, vodkas, wines, beers, etc., etc..
The packaging is simple and straight-forward – (not glitzy like Patron and many others). One could readily hope and anticipate that the Casamigos tequilas might likewise be straight-forward in taste and pricing. One would be less than half-right.
The taste is simple – as in there is NO complexity to the taste and there is No positive finish experience, the pricing is simple – as in simply way, way over priced. Is the tequila OK? Yes, the tequila is OK – but not great, nor very good, nor good. Is the pricing OK? NO, the pricing is not OK! There are many tequilas that are much better tasting, and at a much nicer price point to be certain. For the Casamigos top-notch price point = it ought to be top-notch taste and experience – it is NOT.
IF you like the taste of Casamigos, that is fine, no problem with me or anyone else. Why not purchase as good or better quality tequila for less inancial investment? There are many other tequilas produced at the same NOM or distillery not are as good or better quality for much better pricing – just saying . . .
I have tried many different tequilas and recently tried Casaamigos Anjo.. It was the best I have had.. No salt, no lime.. Just room temperature Tequila.
Yes its pricey.. I will buy it and drink it slowly and look for any discounts
I am a Happy Tequila Person!!!.
Been drinking Casamigos since it’s inception . I know my tequilas and for an everyday tequila drinker – it ROCKS ! I buy it by the case . Yes for a sipper – Clauz Azul, 1942 . LOVE me Casamigos
Casamigos-Silver is the best bet. Gotta take it nearly frozen. However, I’ve run across a batch # that has a smoky taste. Unusual, but experienced.
They need to fix the cork issue. The 2-piece cork doesn’t cut it. Both pieces separate in the most inopportune time. Maybe the freezer is causing it, but they should of known that.
Short of that …. I love the product.
George Cloon makes the best tequila I ever tasted, the van halen guy makes the 2nd best tequila I ever tasted, Dwayne “Do you smell what the rock is cooking” Johnson makes the 3rd best tequila I ever tasted, and those are the only ones I’ve had so far. I’m basically the world’s biggest tequila nut at this point. I’ve heard good things about Casa Dragones from my reputable specialty bottle shop when I told them I wanted to spend the $300 I just won from playing scratchers so I’ll be trying that one next. I hope someone like Post Malone puts out a wine some time soon so I can find something a little bit lighter in alcohol for when I’m hungover . Thanks for reading
Se anuncia en etiquetado con tonalidades de sabor vainilla y más que canela me da ese sabor vainilla, algo dulce al inicio pero se desvanece agradablemente sin dejar rastros amargos, son 40 grados aunque ciertamente acuoso y no viscoso o con cuerpo, no me gusta que disimule el sabor de agave azul joven, llevare una muestra al campo para darle el veredicto entre amigos.
No good. It has a caramel coffee flavour also got a hangover after 3 shot’s. Would not recommend it to anyone.
