Producer Information: Casa Cuervo
Casa Cuervo, officially known as José Cuervo, is based in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. The company traces its origins to 1795 when José María Guadalupe de Cuervo received the first official license from the King of Spain to produce and distribute tequila commercially. Casa Cuervo has maintained a family-owned legacy for over two centuries, focusing on traditional methods such as slow-cooking agave in stone ovens and using copper pot stills for distillation. Their production approach emphasizes quality control at every stage, from hand-harvesting blue Weber agave plants to aging spirits in American oak barrels.
Beyond their flagship tequilas, Casa Cuervo’s portfolio includes a diverse range of alcoholic beverages. They produce other agave-based spirits like mezcal and offer ready-to-drink cocktails under various brand names. The company also owns whiskey brands such as Bushmills Irish Whiskey and distributes rum labels including Kraken Black Spiced Rum. Additionally, Casa Cuervo has expanded into liqueurs with products like Gran Gala orange liqueur and operates several hospitality ventures related to beverage tourism in Mexico. This broad spectrum allows them to reach global markets while catering to evolving consumer preferences across multiple spirit categories.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
