José Cuervo Tradicional Tequila 50cl: A Deep Dive into a Classic Mexican Spirit

Thegeneralwine.co.uk is proud to offer José Cuervo Tradicional Tequila, a 50cl bottle showcasing the essence of this iconic Mexican spirit. This traditional tequila is crafted using time-honoured methods, resulting in a smooth and flavourful experience for both seasoned tequila aficionados and curious newcomers.

A Legacy in Every Bottle

José Cuervo boasts a rich heritage, dating back to 1795. Their Tradicional Tequila honours this legacy, using 100% Blue Weber agave, hand-selected from their estate in Jalisco, Mexico. The agave hearts are then slow-cooked in brick ovens, extracting their natural sweetness before fermentation and distillation. This meticulous process ensures a tequila of exceptional quality.

• Palate: The first sip delivers a clean and crisp agave flavour with a subtle sweetness. Hints of black pepper and minerality emerge, balanced by a refreshing citrus zing. The smooth texture is a hallmark of José Cuervo Tradicional, making it a pleasure to savour.
• Finish: A lingering warmth spreads across the palate, complemented by a return of the zesty citrus notes. The peppery spice adds a touch of intrigue, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste.
