LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The redemption of the Cuervo name. This is a legitimate, high-quality tequila that honors its history—a crisp, reliable spirit that proves Cuervo can still lead the 100% agave category.

The Library Note

While the standard Cuervo 'Especial' is a mixto, the 'Tradicional' line is 100% blue agave and is crafted using the same methods developed by Jose Cuervo himself in 1795. It is a spirit of tradition, designed to be served at freezing temperatures in a traditional tequila glass.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Earthy and herbal. Aromas of roasted agave are balanced by citrus oil and a hint of fresh green pepper.

THE PALATE

Clean and straightforward. Flavors of cooked agave and lime are underpinned by a subtle, honeyed sweetness and a touch of salt.

THE FINISH

Medium with a refreshing, mineral snap and a light peppery heat.
