About Jose Cuervo Maestro Tequilero Reposado Clasico Tequila
In 1758 José Antonio de Cuervo y Valdés was given a plot of land by King Fernand VI to plant agave for producing tequila. By 1795, José María Guadalupe de Cuervo, son of José Antonio de Cuervo y Valdés, began selling the very first Vino Mezcal de Tequila de José Cuervo after receiving the first official charter from the King of Spain to produce tequila commercially. And by 1852 the first barrels of José Cuervo reached the United States in California.
The agave used in José Cuervo is maturated for seven years in the fields that surround the Tequila Volcano. After the agave plants are harvested their cores, which contain the most flavorful portions are extracted and sent to the La Rojeña distillery, the oldest operating distillery in Latin America. The agave cores are roasted, ground and smashed with the resulting extract placed into tanks to ferment.
Maestro Tequilero Reposado Classico Tequila is part of Jose Cuervo’s three product line of premium Spirits — Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo — handcrafted from 100% blue agave, rested three to eight months and bottled at 40% ABV.
