Casamigos Blanco 375ML

Casamigos Blanco Tequila 375ML is a 100% Blue Weber agave blanco tequila bottled at 40% ABV in a convenient 375ml format. Awarded 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, this highland Jalisco expression stands out for its unusually long 80-hour fermentation — roughly double the industry average — which yields a silky, fruit-forward character uncommon among blancos at this price tier.

Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 proof)  |  Origin: Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico  |  Blanco (Unaged)  |  Distillery: Productos Finos de Agave (NOM 1416)

Production & Heritage

Casamigos was founded in 2013 by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman before being acquired by Diageo in 2017. Production takes place at NOM 1416 in the Jalisco highlands, where 100% Blue Weber agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours. The extended 80-hour fermentation, carried out with a proprietary yeast blend selected by the distillery's master distiller, is the defining production step — this prolonged conversion develops the sweeter, more rounded agave flavors and softer mouthfeel that distinguish Casamigos Blanco from faster-fermented competitors.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh agave leads, followed by bright citrus zest and grapefruit, with subtle layers of vanilla, white pepper, and gentle floral notes. A faint hint of mint lingers beneath the primary aromas.

Taste: The entry is silky and medium-bodied, opening with sweet cooked agave and ripe grapefruit. At mid-palate, herbal undertones and a dusting of black pepper emerge, balanced by a thread of vanilla sweetness. A gentle earthiness grounds the brighter fruit notes as the palate develops.

Finish: Long, clean, and peppery, with citrus and a subtle vegetal quality that fades slowly. The overall impression is smooth and approachable, with enough agave presence to keep things interesting.

How to Drink Casamigos Blanco

This blanco drinks comfortably neat or over a single large ice cube, where the extended fermentation's softer edges come through clearly. Its bright citrus-and-agave profile also makes it a natural cocktail base. A Margarita benefits from the inherent sweetness, allowing you to reduce added sweetener. A Paloma pairs the tequila's grapefruit notes with grapefruit soda for a seamless match. A Ranch Water — tequila, lime, and sparkling mineral water — lets the clean agave character shine with minimal interference.

• Stocking a home bar without committing to a full 750ml bottle

How does Casamigos Blanco compare to Avión Silver?

Why Casamigos Blanco?

The 80-hour fermentation is the detail that separates this blanco from much of the field — that extra time produces measurably softer, sweeter agave flavors that you can taste side-by-side against standard-fermented competitors.

The 375ml format makes this an accessible way to experience a highland blanco without the full-bottle commitment, whether for personal tasting or as a considered gift. In a category crowded with celebrity-backed brands, Casamigos Blanco earns repeat attention through a production approach that genuinely influences what ends up in the glass.
