Be always up for a party with a bottle of Jose Cuervo Tequila Especial Gold on your shelf.
Established in 1795 by Don Jose Antonio de Cuervo, the Jose Cuervo brand has been at the forefront of the tequila industry since its early days and has remained one of its most prominent pillars all the way up to the present. Today, they hold the title of top tequila brand in the world with US sales alone topping 12 million cases in 2012. In addition to these impressive sales numbers, they are also home to a wide variety of expressions that showcase the flavor of agave in different lights from standard fare like Blanco and reposado to a range of “Mixto” offerings that were developed largely for the cocktail scene.
One example of the latter is the brand’s signature expression, the Jose Cuervo Tequila Especial Gold. Made by blending their reposado tequila with younger Blanco tequilas and then infusing them with neutral spirits distilled from cane sugars, they were able to craft a sweet, mellow spirit with a mild agave taste which is then cut with pure water before finally being bottled.
On the nose, this tequila yields a welcoming aroma of honey, baked agave, orange peels, confectioner’s sugar, spice, and dried herbs, paving the way for a smooth and slightly sharp palate of mixed spices, sweet syrup, more cooked agave, herbs, and touches of toasted oak before wrapping up with a persistent finish of cracked black pepper and grapefruit notes.
Perfect for crafting a wide range of tequila cocktails as well as a few non-tequila ones, the Jose Cuervo Tequila Especial Gold is an essential part of any liquor shelf making it a worthwhile gift to friends and loved ones. So send a bottle their way today as a small token of your appreciation and let them enjoy its superb flavors all the way to the last drop.
