History[edit]

Production[edit]

Casa Dragones Tequila is produced in the Tequila region of Mexico, using traditional methods combined with modern technology. The production process involves the careful selection of agave plants, which are harvested by hand. The agave is then slow-roasted in traditional ovens, and the juice is extracted and fermented.
