🥃 Casamigos Blanco
Unaged Casamigos tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, 40% ABV; double-distilled and rested in stainless steel tanks.
Casamigos Blanco is an unaged tequila from the Casamigos brand, made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco. It is the lightest line in the range: clear, not aged in oak, and bottled at 40% ABV. The producer describes the taste as fresh, with citrus, vanilla and sweet agave and a soft, long finish.
According to the brand's website, the agave is slow-roasted and then distilled twice. The tequila then rests in stainless steel tanks rather than oak barrels, which keeps its colour clear. Mexico's NOM-006-SCFI-2012 standard allows tequila between 35% and 55% ABV; the brand states 40%. The producer gives no separate barrels or ageing period for this line.
Why this matters to you. Blanco is the reference point for comparing Reposado, Añejo and Cristalino: all four use the same agave, and the difference lies only in ageing and filtration. Blue agave is the only raw material permitted for tequila. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
