Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Platino is a luminous, ultra-premium silver tequila crafted with the brand’s signature “Esencia de Agave” process. Brilliantly clear, it expresses pepper, honeyed agave, and fresh apple on the nose, before unfolding with sweet-spicy notes of melon, honey and hay. A refined finish of chamomile and cinnamon lingers, offering a crisp and elegant finale. A luxurious blanco tequila, perfect neat, on the rocks, or in elevated cocktails.
