Every bottle of Jose Cuervo Especial Gold starts with the blue agave plant, grown in the rich, volcanic soil of Jalisco, Mexico. The plants take up to 12 years to reach peak maturity before being harvested by jimadores. The hearts of the agave, or piñas, are slow-cooked, pressed, and fermented. Following a double-distillation process, the tequila is rested in American oak barrels, which imparts the subtle hints of vanilla and spice that make it so versatile for Tequila Cocktails.
