Casa Dragones Joven Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A 100% blue agave joven tequila bottled at 40% ABV that blends unaged silver spirit with extra-aged tequila matured five years in new American oak. Production is based at NOM 1489 in the Valley of Tequila, Jalisco, at roughly 1,200 metres above sea level. The agave is processed through a diffuser, then undergoes multiple distillations in a column still. The combined liquid is charcoal-filtered, stripping the amber colour while preserving vanilla, oak and caramel depth. The nose opens with fresh orange peel and green apple, then light smoke, white pepper and subtle oak. The palate is smooth, with roasted agave and citrus leading into vanilla, caramel and gentle spice, with a silky texture. The finish is long and clean, with vanilla and green apple, fading peppery warmth and balanced sweetness.
