You know that golden bottle behind every good bar? This is it. Jose Cuervo Especial Gold is the world's best-selling tequila for a reason: sweet, smooth agave with a little vanilla warmth, made to be shaken into a Margarita or knocked back ice-cold with salt and lime. Grab a litre when the night's looking long and the crew's getting bigger. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
Pour it and you get a soft, sweet nose: cooked agave, a whisper of orange peel, a vanilla hint from its short rest in oak. On the tongue it's gentle and a touch sweet, with that warm agave sugar carrying through and a clean, quick finish that doesn't hang around or bite. It's a mixto (a blend of agave and other sugars), so it's mellow and approachable rather than fiery and earthy like a pricey 100% agave sipper. That softness is exactly why it shines the second you add lime and a mixer.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it comes from
This is proper old-school tequila royalty. Cuervo is distilled at La Rojeña in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, the oldest active tequila distillery in Latin America, with roots going back to 1795 when the Cuervo family got the first official licence to make the stuff. The Gold is built from a blend of younger tequila and reposado that's rested a couple of months in oak, which is where it picks up that golden colour and vanilla edge. Centuries of practice in one very pourable bottle.
