Review: Casamigos Tequila Blanco
Casamigos Tequila Blanco was introduced in 2013. The house of friends behind this brand include George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman.

A proprietary yeast is blended with the juice and it is slow fermented for 80 hours. After it is distilled the Blanco tequila rests for 2 months before bottling. Read more
