Jose Cuervo

A traditional Reposado from the Father of Tequila.

Did you know that every fifth Tequila bottle sold in the world is made by Jose Cuervo? These guys really go way back with Tequila as Jose Antonio Cuervo was actually the first person to obtain a license to make Tequila from the King Carlos IV in 1795. But even before that, in 1758, another royal figure King Fernand VI was like, here, some land for you to grow agave and maybe see where it goes. Over 250 years of experience means something in the Tequila world (And in other worlds as well.) and it's impressive that the company is still family-owned today after being passed down for generations (And with it, the methods, the recipes, the craftsmanship). The Beckmann family of Mexico are descendants of Don José Antonio de Cuervo and Juan-Domingo Beckmann is the 6th generation leader of the company.

Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado is a 100% Blue Agave rested Tequila that spent at least 2 months in oak barrels. The agave is harvested from the family estate in Mexico and those of you familiar with aged Tequilas will be happy to recognise the smooth and subtle complex flavor profile. Based on a recipe that's been passed down for all these generations, it's made in the same back as Jose Cuervo used to make it in 1795. Bottled at 80 proof, this one is as classic as it gets in the Tequila world.
