About Casa Dragones Blanco
Casa Dragones Blanco is a small batch, 100% Pure Blue agave silver tequila, crafted to deliver the true essence of agave through an innovative process that focuses on purity. The crisp, pure taste of Casa Dragones Blanco is ideal when served on the rocks or in cocktails. Much like with single malt scotches, water plays an extremely important role in the balanced taste of Casa Dragones Blanco. Which is why Casa Dragones uses only the purest water from the beginning to the end of the production process. Emanating from the headwaters of the Volcano of Tequila in Tequila, Jalisco, the water used for Casa Dragones Blanco is exceptionally pure, natural spring water, enriched with the ideal balance of minerals to produce their signature tasting tequila.The agaves for Tequila Casa Dragones Blanco are harvested 1,200 meters above sea level within the EjeVolcanico Transversal (Trans-Mexican Volcanic belt) in Tequila, Jalisco, one of the richest agricultural lands on earth. The dark, fertile volcanic soil, abundant with minerals such as potassium, phosphorus and silicium, produces the ideal agaves for the signature taste of CasaDragones. Tequila Casa Dragones produces no more than 500 cases at a time to maintain the quality and attention to detail for which it is known. Each bottle of Casa Dragones Blanco are hand-signed and labeled with the batch number written on every label. Casa Dragones Blanco retails for $75.
