Jose Cuervo Family’s Private Stash Now Available In Reposado and Platino In The US

Admittedly, I’ve only enjoyed tequila within the past couple of years. When I thought of the spirit, I was yanked back to memories of cheap bottles and nights bowing down at the porcelain temple. But thanks to a visit to the Jose Cuervo distillery in Tequila, Mexico, I was able to get tequila woke and learned just how delicious it can be. To be specific, all it took was a bottle of Jose Cuervo’s Reserva de la Familia to change my outlook on tequila.

Reserva de la Familia is the Jose Cuervo family’s private stash, bottling the finest of their tequila, originally offered to friends and family and made public back in 1995. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this introduction, Jose Cuervo has now made available Reposado and Platino expressions of their Reserva de la Familia tequila.

Characteristics of the Reposado are a unique barrel aging process that employs three different types of wood and barrel toasting styles. Heavily toasted American oak contributes intense notes of baking spices while whole, lightly-toasted American and French oaks bring forward mellow flavors of toffee and vanilla. As for the Platino, it is an unaged tequila, and due to a natural fermentation process, the notes of agave keep their original essence and come through profoundly in aroma and flavor. 

This is the perfect holiday gift for friends, family, and even yourself because you deserve it after making through to 2020, amiright?
