Casamigos, also known as Casamigos Tequila, is a United States-based tequila brand established by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman. Ownership transferred to Diageo in 2017.
In 2022, Casamigos achieved the status of the fastest expanding spirits label. The founders, Gerber and Clooney, originally developed the brand to craft tequila suited to their own preferences, without any initial intention for widespread commercial growth. The brand name Casamigos is derived from the Spanish terms casa (house) and amigos (friends), translating to "house of friends."
In June 2017, the global beverage corporation Diageo purchased Casamigos for $700 million, with an additional $300 million payable based on the brand's future success. This deal suggested that Diageo valued each bottle at nearly $500.
