Casa Dragones Blanco Tequila

Casa Dragones Blanco was five years in the making after the Joven — the house's first pure blanco, which Vogue named a best gift and the Bar Cart Awards called a mixologist's essential. Casa Dragones was founded in 2009 by Bertha González Nieves, the first woman certified as a Maestra Tequilera, and named for the Dragones cavalry of Mexico's independence; it's made at NOM 1489 in the Tequila Valley from agave grown in volcanic soil, with spring water drawn from underground aquifers for each batch. The Blanco is 100% blue Weber agave, double-distilled through the house's modern, sustainable process, and bottled unaged at 40% ABV in a hand-engraved bottle. The house notes: fresh and herbaceous with grapefruit and green apple on the nose, semi-sweet agave warmed by pepper and clove on the palate, and a crisp, light finish with almond. The Liquor Bros found vegetal and grapefruit aromas with mint, pepper, and chocolate. Tequila Reviews notes the boxed presentation spared no expense. Honest note, and it's the enthusiast's real objection: Casa Dragones uses a diffuser-based process and prizes purity over rustic complexity, and the Blanco is priced like an añejo — drinkers who want funk and terroir have Fortaleza and G4; drinkers who want the cleanest, smoothest, most elegant blanco for a Margarita or a Paloma that has to impress have this. For a Margarita, a Paloma, or on the rocks. The dragons' blanco.
