PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend is an elegant sipping tequila that balances agave richness with nuanced oak influence. Rather than aiming for boldness or heavy smokiness, it leans into smoothness, subtlety, and complexity. Great for those wanting something refined and thoughtful — a tequila to savor slowly, after dinner, or in moments when you want more than just heat.
Produced by Casa Dragones, an ultra-premium tequila brand from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Añejo tequila aged in two styles of new oak barrels: new French oak and new American oak. Each barrel contributes distinct flavor and aroma characteristics.
After the aging in these different barrels, the two styles are blended to achieve a profile that highlights both woods while allowing the agave character to remain front and center.
Bottled at 40% ABV.
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Colour / Appearance | Light caramel with bright hues; visually inviting with pronounced “legs” when swirled in the glass. |
| Aroma / Nose | Fresh floral notes and pear; touches of fig and roasted almonds. These give a soft sweetness and intriguing complexity. |
| Palate / Taste | Macadamia nut, nutmeg spice, blackberry fruit. Oak from the barrel blend appears but stays balanced so as not to overwhelm the agave. |
| Finish | Long, round, smooth. Hints of cacao (dark chocolate), spicy black pepper linger. The oak influence gives a warming depth without harshness. |
Neat / Spirits-Style Serve: Best enjoyed neat or with a large single ice cube to allow aromas to open and flavors to evolve.
Cocktails: Works well in aged/spirit-forward cocktails — e.g. Tequila Old Fashioned, or in place of bourbon in a whiskey-based dessert cocktail. A touch of bitters could highlight the oak and spice.
Food Pairings:
Chocolate & desserts: Dark chocolate, chocolate with nuts; desserts with cacao or bittersweet elements to echo the finish.
Nuts & dried fruits: Roasted almonds, macadamia nuts, dried figs or apricots — these mirror the nutty and fig notes.
Cheeses: Aged cheeses (e.g. manchego, aged gouda) or even a creamier blue cheese to contrast the oak and fruit sweetness.
Savory: Pork dishes, perhaps roasted or glazed; dishes with warm spices (nutmeg, pepper); maybe even smoked or grilled fish / meats where the lightly oaky sweetness complements.
