Casamigos tequila was launched in January 2012 by partners George Clooney (the actor), Rande Gerber (bar and restaurant owner) and Mike Meldman (Discovery Land Company CEO).
Casamigos is named after Clooney's and Gerber's houses in Mexico (roughly translates as "house of friends").
This 100% agave añejo tequila was aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks for 14 months.
