Title
Producer, José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Region, Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico Style, Extra Añejo Tequila Varietal, 100% Blue Weber Agave Maturation, At least 3 years in French & American oak barrels, with some editions blending in older reserves Size, 750 mL ABV, 40%
First released in 1995 to celebrate the company's 200th birthday, José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia pioneered the category of extended age Tequila. Matured for a minimum of two years in a combination of American and French oak barrels, some of the reserve components are up to thirty years old. The tequila itself which has been described as "rich and brandy-like" doesn't change much from year to year. And just as consistency has become its hallmark, so too has been its high praise. What does change annually is the packaging, with a different Mexican artist making each release a collector’s item.
Taste Profile
BrightBalancedBold
Reserva de la Familia opens with warm aromas of roasted agave, oak, toasted almonds, vanilla, and a touch of apples and cinnamon. The palate is rich and elegant: notes of caramel, toffee, honey, dark fruit, and a kissing of sweet spice—black pepper and cloves—round out the experience. Finish is long, velvety, with oak lingering alongside soft chocolate and vanilla tones.
