Every bottle of Jose Cuervo Especial Gold starts with the blue agave plant, grown in the rich, volcanic soil of Jalisco, Mexico. The Every bottle of Jose Cuervo carries centuries of history. Over 200 years ago, in 1795, the King of Spain granted Don Jose Antonio de Cuervo the very first commercial concession to produce tequila. This momentous event marked the official birth of the commercial tequila industry. Today, the spirit is still transformed at La Rojeña, the oldest active distillery in Latin America.
The secret to its enduring legacy lies in the rich, volcanic soil of the Jalisco town of Tequila. Jose Cuervo utilizes blue agave plants that soak up the distinct nutrients of this fertile region. After the agave cores (the piñas) are harvested by traditional jimadores, they are cooked, crushed, and double-distilled in continuous column stills to secure an incredibly smooth baseline before the liquid is rested in premium oak barrels.
