Casa Dragones Tequila AÑEJO Barrel Blend 40% combines the elegance of long-aged agave distillates with an unusual ageing concept. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, this Añejo tequila from Mexico combines two styles that have been aged separately: one part is aged in new French oak casks, the other in new American oak casks. Only after maturation are the two Añejo tequilas blended together, allowing the different woody influences to come together in a harmonious barrel blend. French and American oak complement the distinct agave character with notes of fruit, nuts, spices and subtle toasted aromas, without overpowering it. The result is a complex 100% agave Añejo tequila, whose particular appeal lies in the combination of two distinct barrel-ageing processes.

At 40% ABV, the Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend is elegant, smooth and multi-layered. Floral notes and pear give way to fig and toasted almonds, before macadamia nut, nutmeg and blackberry add further depth. Cocoa and black pepper characterise the long, rounded finish and underline the character of a tequila that has been deliberately designed to be savoured slowly on its own. The 0.7-litre bottle with gift box visually reflects the exclusive nature of this bottling, making it an attractive gift idea for lovers of matured agave spirits. Casa Dragones Añejo Tequila, aged in French and American oak casks, thus offers a particularly refined interpretation of the classic Añejo style.
