If you’ve never had añejo tequila and start with a luxury, high-price options, you’ll likely enjoy it, but you may not be able to tell what makes it special because you won’t have much to compare it with. If you’re new to the category, it’s worth starting with some baseline options and then working your way up to the more expensive bottles if your budget allows it. Casamigos was made just for us. We worked on the creation of Casamigos with our master distiller in Jalisco, Mexico for years, and held many blind tastings until we knew we got it right. We’ve been drinking our tequila and mezcal with friends and family for many years now. It was never intended to be released to the public. It’s all we serve at our homes in Mexico, so it’s literally our home tequila.
