Description

Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia was introduced in 1995 to mark the distillery’s 200th anniversary. It is an incredibly exclusive tequila that, just a few weeks after the first vintage hit the market, was already sold out again. It is classified as an extra añejo tequila, which means that it is 100% agave based and has been aged for over three years in oak barrels. This gives the tequila a deeper golden color than usual and a more distinctive taste not unlike that found in scotch or brandy. Storage also takes place in the distillery’s private cellars, which previously housed the family’s own personal warehouse.

Each vintage delivers its very own taste and distinct character, but the texture is always silky smooth with deep and masculine flavors in the style of leather, licorice and roasted nuts. Each bottle is also numbered and dated and each batch has been tested by a Cuervo- family member.

Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia is a thoroughly luxurious tequila that delivers on all parameters, if it doesn’t outright blow them!

The world’s oldest Tequila brand

We have to go all the way back to 1758 and Mexico to find the first sod in Jose Cuervo’s history; it is the year in which José Antonio de Cuervo y Valdés gets a piece of King Ferdinand VI’s land to grow agave and thereby later produce tequila. When the king dies just one year later, the throne is taken over by his half-brother, Carlos III, who later bans the production of alcohol “that can destroy the soul” – including tequila.

Goodbye to the ban

In 1795, however, his slightly more alcohol-friendly son, Carlos VI, comes to power, and he therefore chooses to lift his father’s ban on alcohol. With some fateful irony, José Cuervo’s son, Jose Maria Cuervo, is thus given the first ever license to produce and sell tequila by none other than the son of the king who in his time banned the same himself.

From barrel to bottle 

In 1852, the first shipment of Jose Cuervo crosses the Mexican/American border in barrels from San Blas, bound all the way to California. However, it is not long before the demand for the delicious tequila has become so great both in his home country and in the United States that Jose Cuervo, as the first tequila producer, begins bottling the tequila in individual bottles in order to make transport easier.

Best selling tequila in the whole world

In addition to being the oldest tequila brand in the world, Jose Cuervo is also the best-selling, accounting for a fifth of all tequila consumed worldwide and a third of the US tequila market. Jose Cuervo is still in the care of the family, and is now in the sixth generation, although with the surname Beckmann instead of Cuervo.
