Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia Extra Anejo Tequila

Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo is the original luxury extra-añejo tequila—richly aged and meticulously blended to showcase deep oak, roasted agave and silken spice. Dark amber in the glass, it opens with fresh vanilla and medium oak over roasted pineapple and piloncillo, unfolding to layers of leather, cinnamon, pear and red apple. The finish is long, velvety and refined—an icon for sipping, gifting and collecting.

Exquisite neat, yet superb in elevated classics. An Old Fashioned draws out its oak and vanilla with a whisper of agave syrup, while a Manhattan swaps whiskey for Extra Añejo to create a plush, spice-laced sipper. For chocolate lovers, the Chocolate Tequila Martini frames roasted agave with cacao richness, and an Extra Añejo Margarita delivers a decadent, barrel-kissed take on the icon.

Craftsmanship & Story

The world’s first extra-añejo tequila, Reserva de la Familia honors over two centuries of Cuervo heritage. Only the estate’s finest 10-year agaves are hand-selected, slow-cooked and carefully distilled at La Rojeña—Latin America’s oldest active distillery. The Extra Añejo ages patiently in oak (average 3 years), then is masterfully blended with precious reserves matured for decades to achieve unmatched depth, balance and silkiness.

Special Features

A benchmark of luxury: profound aging and a rare inclusion of long-matured reserves deliver cognac-like complexity while preserving vivid agave character. Each annual release arrives in a limited-edition wooden Artist Box designed by renowned Mexico-based artists—making every bottle a collectible statement for connoisseurs and an unforgettable gift.
