RESERVA DE LA FAMILIA
Artist Collaborations
As part of our ongoing support of Mexican culture, the Jose Cuervo family commissions a Mexico-based artist to design original artwork for the collector’s box each year.
The 2023 collector’s box is the latest edition of custom art, titled “Structuring a Landscape”, designed by Mexican artists Gabriel Cázares Salas and Rolando Flores Tovar of the Mexico-based Tercerunquinto Collective (translates into English roughly as “a third of a fifth”) founded in Monterrey, Mexico, in 1998.
The Tercerunquinto Collective were selected as this year’s artist collaborators due to their meticulous art process that involves heavy field research. To create this year’s box, the Collective first visited Tequila, Mexico – the birthplace of the iconic spirit and home to Jose Cuervo – to understand the most recognizable parts of the agave landscape.
Jose Cuervo Description
Reserva de la Familia® starts with the finest 10-year old, hand-selected agave plants from the estate's richest soil. Only the most flavorful inner portion of the agave's piña (heart) is used. Reserva de la Familia® is an extra-anejo Tequila (ultra-aged) which matures in barrels stored in the Cuervo family's private cellar, which is constructed out of volcanic stones to create the perfect temperature and humidity conditions.
Wine Enthusiast: 96-100 Points
First nosing passes pick up incredibly zesty and harmonious aromas of dill, fennel and pepper; another seven minutes sees the bouquet turn elegant, oaky and herbal. Palate entry is semisweet, with deft traces of caramel and vanilla; by midpalate the flavors include marzipan, hard candy, dried herbs, green pepper and vanilla. Finish is long, luxurious and stately. A brandy-like Tequila that s slightly richer than the terrific 2002 Reserva de la Familia.
