Mexico meets Japan with this new aged tequila.
for decades, it’s only recently become a more common finishing wood for other spirits, despite it being leaky, twisty and dry. This tequila was aged entirely in mizunara for up to a year. According to the brand, Casa Dragones first started experimenting with this type of wood in 2018 and has been working with a Japanese cooperage to create new casks with a custom char level.
The tequila is a light golden straw color, and on the nose you can pick up notes of grass, agave and a bit of vanilla. The palate is soft with a balanced notes of sweet and spice, a melange of flavors including espresso, oak, citrus and some caramel. The traditional coconut and incense notes that mizunara usually delivers are not so evident here, but there’s some complexity to the tequila all the same.
