CASAMIGOS REPOSADO is so, slightly oaky with hints of caramel and cocoa and has a silky texture with a medium to long smooth finish. CASAMIGOS AÑEJO has a beautifully pure and refined complex aroma with so caramel and vanilla notes. It has a perfect balance of sweetness from the blue Weber agaves layered with barrel oak and subtle hints of spice with a lingering smooth finish.
