Process & Aging

Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo represents one of the most distinguished expressions in the historic Jose Cuervo portfolio, showcasing generations of tequila-making expertise.

The tequila is matured for a minimum of three years in American and French oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop greater depth, richness, and complexity.

During maturation, the interaction between the tequila and oak contributes layers of toasted wood, vanilla, cinnamon, and roasted nuts while complementing the natural sweetness of cooked agave.

The resulting Extra Añejo is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), offering a smooth and refined expression of mature tequila.
