No one has made tequila longer. Or better. In 1795, Jose MarÃa Guadalupe de Cuervo began selling the very first Vino Mezcalde Tequila de Jose Cuervo Especial after receiving the first official charter from the King of Spain to produce tequila commercially. Cuervo has been producing tequila at La Rojeña, the oldest active distillery in Latin America, ever since.
Legend has it that Especial Reposado was used to make the first ever Margarita, the world’s best selling cocktail. Jose Cuervo Especial Reposado is a blend of Reposado and younger tequilas. The result is a well-balanced, smooth tequila.
Jose Cuervo Especial Reposado Brand History
In 1795, the King of Spain granted José Antonio de Cuervo the first concession ever to produce Tequila commercially. This singular event marked the birth of Tequila.
The Jose Cuervo recipe and process has been passed down and upheld by a family of entrepreneurs, inventors, and risk-takers. It is no wonder why Jose Cuervo is the most awarded family of Tequila in history.
Its made with blue agave harvested from the family estate, the largest agave holder in all of Mexico. With its rich, volcanic soil, abundant pure spring water, and temperate climate, the highest quality blue agave is transformed into a Tequila that is clean, crisp, and smooth.
