Description

Casa Dragones Reposado Mizunara is a daring and elegant resting of tequila in new Japanese Mizunara oak casks. It marries the soft sweetness of reposado agave spirit with subtle exotic oak influences (think sandalwood, incense, coffee bean) to create a sipping tequila that appeals to both tequila fans and Japanese whisky lovers. It’s not overblown — the wood is used judiciously — so the agave character remains present and balanced. Origins & Craftsmanship The Reposado Mizunara is the first tequila rested exclusively in new Mizunara oak casks, rather than more common American or French oak.  Mizunara is a rare Japanese oak species (also prized in Japanese whisky), known for its aromatic, porous, and delicate wood character.  Casa Dragones imported these Mizunara casks (in collaboration with a Japanese cooperage) to Jalisco to experiment with how this rare wood complements tequila.  The spirit base is 100% blue agave reposado, as is standard for their reposado line.  ABV / Proof: 40% ABV (80 proof).  Tasting Profile Component Notes & Highlights Color / Appearance Light, bright golden with a silky texture.  Aroma / Nose Floral and delicate: orange blossom, magnolia; hints of honey and sandalwood.  Palate / Taste Balanced oak influence with a core of apricot, butterscotch, and oak. The Mizunara character contributes subtle tropical wood, incense, and dryness.  Finish Long and mellow; coffee bean notes and gentle spice linger with soft oak echoes.    Serving Suggestions & Pairings Serving: Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to allow the aromatics to open. Because the tequila is already carefully wood-rested, avoid heavy mixers that would mask subtle nuances. Pairings: • Delicate seafood (scallops, shrimp) with citrus or floral sauces • Mild cheeses, especially those with a nutty or floral edge • Light desserts: apricot tart, creme brulée, honey cake • Nut desserts (almonds, cashews) and mild chocolate • Dishes with subtle wood or spice notes (e.g. grilled vegetables with rosemary, lemongrass, or light dustings of spice) Quick Overview Feature Detail Name Casa Dragones Reposado Mizunara Type / Style Reposado tequila rested in new Mizunara oak Wood / Casks 100% Mizunara oak (new) Agave / Spirit Base 100% blue agave reposado ABV / Proof 40% ABV (80 proof) Character / Style Elegant, soft oak, floral + apricot, incense / wood nuance from Mizunara
