Casamigos Tequila was launched in 2013 by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman.

 

Casamigos translates from the Spanish “house of friends”.

 

Casamigos Mezcal is made using the traditional method. Once harvested, the piñas are slowly cooked and roasted.

 

Then, the agave is crushed in a Tahona wheel and ferments for 2–8 days in wooden tanks before being distilled. Casamigos Mezcal is finally rested for 2 months before bottling.
