The Casa Dragones brand guide
In our October 4, 2026 US shop check, Casa Dragones’ 750 mL bottles ranged from about $55 for Blanco to $250 for Joven in an engraved decanter. Reposado uses Japanese Mizunara oak, while Karol G’s 200 Copas is an añejo cristalino.
The brand
Casa Dragones focuses on sipping, blending and presentation
Casa Dragones was founded in 2009 by Bertha González Nieves and Robert W. Pittman. It connects modern tequila production in Tequila, Jalisco with a brand home and tasting experiences in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato.
The advertised range checked on 4 October 2026 comprises Blanco, Reposado Mizunara, Añejo Barrel Blend, Joven and 200 Copas, the añejo cristalino created in collaboration with Karol G. All five covered US 750 mL releases are 40% ABV / 80 proof. Their differences lie in maturation, blending, clear-versus-aged appearance and presentation.

Choose your bottle
Choose Blanco for a cocktail, or follow the wood, blend and gift
| Bottle | Choose it for | How Casa Dragones recommends serving it |
|---|---|---|
| Blanco | The least expensive introduction or a citrus cocktail | Over ice with a twist of lime, grapefruit or lemon |
| 200 Copas | Karol G’s collaboration and a clear aged tequila | On the rocks |
| Añejo Barrel Blend | Tequilas matured separately in new French and American oak, then blended | Neat or with a small ice cube |
| Reposado Mizunara | New Japanese Mizunara oak | Neat or with a small ice cube |
| Joven | A silver and extra-aged blend in an engraved crystal decanter | Neat at 17–20°C (64–68°F) |
For a personalized gift, Joven adds a handwritten label message to its engraved decanter. If the recipient is more interested in exploring French and American oak, Añejo Barrel Blend is the lower-priced choice in the 750 mL shop comparison.
Modern production
The brand describes steam-and-water extraction and volcanic aquifer water
Casa Dragones describes Azul agave (A. tequilana) grown in Tequila’s volcanic lowlands, with an approximately seven-year growing cycle before harvest. Its sustainability page explicitly says it extracts the juice with steam and water. Fresh spring water from aquifers associated with the Tequila volcano is purified before use.
Casa Dragones presents its extraction process as a way to save water and energy. It does not publish the equipment or measured savings on the pages we checked.
Each aged expression has its own account. Reposado rests exclusively in new Japanese Mizunara oak. Añejo Barrel Blend combines tequilas matured separately in new French and new American oak. Joven blends silver and extra-aged tequila associated with new American oak. 200 Copas is an añejo cristalino aged over 12 months in custom American oak; its page does not specify the color-removal method.

Tequila is made in Jalisco; San Miguel is the tasting home
Casa Dragones is made by Destilería Leyros, NOM 1489, in Tequila, Jalisco.
La Casa Dragones and the brand’s tasting room are in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. Their location does not make the tequila Guanajuato-made. The official Joven page also describes crystal bottles crafted in Mexico City; bottle manufacture is another separate part of the product.

What it costs

| Blanco | $55–75 |
| Reposado Mizunara | $170 |
| Añejo Barrel Blend | $130–150 |
