The story

The story behind Jose Cuervo

Don José Antonio de Cuervo received a royal land writ from the King of Spain in 1758 to grow blue agave in Tequila, Jalisco. His son took the first commercial license to sell Vino Mezcal de Tequila in 1795, and the family has been at it ever since. Production runs through La Rojeña, Latin America's oldest active distillery, founded in 1812 and still family owned by the Beckmann descendants.

Agave azul matures seven to ten years in volcanic soil before harvest. Piñas slow cook in masonry brick ovens for 36 to 40 hours, then ferment and double distill through copper pot and column stills. That patience is why Jose Cuervo has stayed on our shelf for three decades.
