The story
History and development of the Casamigos brand
Casamigos Tequila was originally created by George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman - not as a commercial product, but as a private tequila for friends and family. The aim was to create a particularly mild tequila that could be enjoyed straight and without salt or lime.
What began as a personal pleasure project quickly developed into an internationally successful brand thanks to enthusiastic feedback, which was eventually sold to the Diageo drinks group for around one billion US dollars in 2017. This authentic origin story still shapes the brand identity today: Casamigos stands for quality, conviviality and genuine enjoyment.

The brand places great emphasis on the use of high-quality, natural ingredients and careful production to create a product that reflects the essence of Mexican tequila culture.
