Christmas Gift Guide 2018: Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia Extra Añejo

Christmas Gift Guide 2018

If you’re looking for a special gift for a special person, Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia Extra Añejo fits the bill. Not only is it the world’s first extra-añejo tequila, the precious liquid is hand-selected from the Cuervo family’s private collection. Each bottle is made using blue agave harvested at its peak maturity after seven to twelve years of growth in the field and aged in French and American oak barrels for a minimum of three years.

Reserva de la Familia was first released in 1995 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the distillery. The ornate box is designed by local artists and is a keepsake for the collector. As an extra añejo tequila, the spirit has aromas akin to rum and whisky with a smooth, silky palate to match making it a fine sipping tequila for a special occasion.

Recommended serve: neat, sip and savour like a fine whisky or rum

RRP: $199.99
