LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The reliable workhorse of the tequila world. While it lacks the purity of a 100% agave spirit, its consistent sweetness and approachability make it the archetypal mixing tequila.

The Library Note

Founded in 1795 by Jose María Guadalupe de Cuervo, the distillery was the first in Mexico to receive an official permit to produce tequila. Today, the 10th-generation family-run business produces Especial Gold at La Rojeña, the oldest active distillery in Latin America.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Sweet agave with hints of charcoal and a touch of oak.

THE PALATE

Smooth and sweet with notes of cooked agave, vanilla, and a faint peppery spice.

THE FINISH

A warm, medium-length finish with a touch of caramel sweetness.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Classic Cuervo Margarita': 2 oz Tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.75 oz agave nectar. Shake with ice and strain into a salt-rimmed glass. Its sweetness is designed to pair with the sharp citrus of a Margarita.
