Casa Cuervo 1800 Tequila Reposado, Jalisco, Mexico

A Reposado Tequila vying to be your daily cocktail dram.

Don José Antonio de Cuervo was granted a plot of land in Tequila, Jalisco, by the King of Spain in 1758. This is where he and his family founded the Taberna de Cuervo family farm where he planted his first blue agave plants. The first bottles of their signature product were sold in 1795. Cuervo has stayed in family hands for several generations through marriages and inheritance. But the growth has been steady all along. Now owned by the Beckmann Family, José Cuervo Tequila controls 35% of the worldwide Tequila market by sales — a full 20% by volume — with one of the broadest line-ups in the Tequila-drinking world.

1800 Reposado Tequila is a workhorse. It is designed to both sip neat and to play well in the cocktail shaker. It is a true Tequila, made from 100% Weber blue agave. It has rested in a combination of American and French oak for a minimum of six months — smoothing it out in all the right places. If there ever was a Tequila vying to become your daily dram, this is it.

Smartass Corner:
"1800" is a recognition of the first year in which Tequila was aged in oak barrels.
