"Pale golden amber color. Shy caramel and saddlesoap aromas. A round entry leads to an off-dry medium-bodied palate with caramel taffy, sweet creamed corn, and black pepper flavors. Finishes with a sweet caramel and pepper fade. Confected, but appealing and a good choice of margaritas."

"Casa Dragones is 100% Blue Agave Joven Tequila. Our tequila is hand-made in small batches in Tequila, Mexico, using a multiple distillation process for a clean, extra soft taste. Our Maestro Tequilero hand-finishes each bottle by gently balancing platinum tequila with a hint of extra añejo. This entire process is designed with a singular purpose: to deliver a tequila so smooth, it can only be called a sipping tequila."

"Brilliant copper color. Sweet, robust aromas of vanilla, toasted coconut, dried fruit, roasted nuts, and leather. A soft, supple entry leads to a smooth medium-to full-bodied palate with rich spice, toffee, nuts, caramelized agave, and pepper flavors. Finishes with a long fade of pure chocolate, toasty oak, brown spices, dried fruit, and agave flavors. A complete tequila with great balance, effortless grace, and brooding power." 2005 Reviewed.
