Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo Tequila is the pinnacle of the Jose Cuervo family of tequilas, representing their finest expression. First released in 1995 to celebrate the distillery's 200th anniversary, it is crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave that is hand-selected at 10-12 years old from the family's private estate. Only the most flavorful inner portion of the agave's heart is used. This tequila is aged in a combination of small, new American and French oak barrels for an average of three years, with some reserves aged for over 30 years included in the final blend. Each bottle is handmade, numbered, dated, and sealed in wax, and comes in a unique collectible box designed by a different Mexican artist each year.
