The basis of the tequila is the piñas of the blue Weber agave. A piña is the heart of the agave. It is cooked under steam in ovens at 60-85°C for 24-36 hours. This converts the starch into sugar. This sugar is dissolved from the plant and fermented with water and yeast. The fermented mass is then distilled twice in a copper still. To refine the taste, it is then aged for 3 months in oak barrels. Nose: Mild, pleasant agave note and some oak. Taste: sweet, subtle agave with a hint of oak and vanilla, balanced and soft. Jose Cuervo is the most highly awarded tequila in the world and comes from the oldest distillery still in operation in Latin America. Its roots go back to 1758, when Jose Antonio de Cuervo received a piece of land in the Mexican state of Jalisco from the Spanish king to cultivate agaves. In 1795, the family received the official license to distill tequila. 10 generations later, production is still in family hands and Jose Cuervo is the undisputed market leader on the Mexican domestic market. Unlike other producers, the tequila is bottled exclusively in Mexico and only then exported to over 100 countries.
