Mi Casa

When Ezequiel Rodriguez took over the family estate in Michoacán his dream was to grow agave and make tequila. With his wife, Carmen, and their children, Cristina and Eli, and with help from good friends they began to plant agave in the early 2000’s.

Made with 100% estate-grown agave from Michoacán and distilled to the family’s high standards in Arandas, this was the first Tequila of its kind. The Rodriguez family began importing Mi Casa to the U.S. but after a time the project went dormant. All the while a production run sat patiently, getting ready for the right moment.

With a unicorn inventory and a beautifully updated identity, Mi Casa is relaunching with that last batch made over a decade ago. It was distilled to 54.5% abv, filling 118 well-used Tennessee whiskey barrels. What wasn’t barreled was left to condition in stainless steel.

Agave
The Rodriguez family grows their agave in the highlands of Michoacán, south of Jalisco. They harvest the most mature agave - the ones with very high brix and natural glycerin. This translates to naturally derived complexity and texture.
Cook
The agave is cooked for 18 hours in a low pressure autoclave.
Mill
A roller mill is used to extract the sugars from the cooked agave.
Ferment
Fermentation is done in stainless steel vats with champagne yeast. It takes approximately 96 hours to complete.
Distill
Distillation is done two times in stainless steel pots with copper condensers.
Maturation
For the aged expressions, Mi Casa uses American oak. A combination of 220L ex-wine and 200L ex-whiskey barrels sit in an estiba (stack) and are periodically misted with water.
