Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Reposado: The unique barrel aging process gives this tequila rich and sophisticated qualities. With three different types of wood and barrel toasting styles: heavily toasted American oak and lightly toasted American & French oak barrels create a blended tequila that tastes of vanilla, caramel, nuts, and spice.
Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Platino: This premium tequila is specially made through a unique “Esencia de Agave” process – a propriety process created by Cuervo and known only by the distillers – which extracts agave sweetness and aromas from the hearts of the agave plants.
Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo: This tequila is made from only the hearts, or piñas, of agave plants, which are cooked for 48 hours total.
