-5%This is the bottle a margarita was basically invented for. Smooth, a touch sweet, golden in the glass, and friendly enough that nobody at the table pulls a face. Pour it over ice with lime and salt, line up a few shots for the crew, or build a jug of frozen margaritas for the balcony. It's the world's best-selling tequila for a reason: it just works, every single time. Half past tequila o'clock? We'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
Pop the cap and you get warm vanilla and caramel up front, with a soft, sweet agave note sitting underneath and a whisper of toasted oak. On the tongue it's mellow and a little sugary rather than sharp, which is exactly why it slides into a margarita so easily. There's a gentle peppery tingle and a flick of citrus on the finish, then a clean warmth that fades quick. No harsh slap, no fuss. This is a mixer's tequila through and through, built to play nice with lime, salt and a good crowd.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It comes from Tequila, a town in Jalisco, Mexico, where the Cuervo family has been making the stuff for longer than almost anyone. Especial Gold is a joven (young) tequila: blue agave spirit double-distilled and blended with some of Cuervo's aged reposado, with the golden colour and that mellow, sweetish edge giving it its easy-going style. It's a mixto, meaning agave does the heavy lifting alongside other sugars, which keeps it approachable and very margarita-friendly. This is the bottle that introduced most of the world to tequila.
