Historic, ultra-rare, and masterfully aged, Jose Cuervo 250th Aniversario Extra Añejo Tequila was released to commemorate 250 years of tequila-making heritage by the legendary Cuervo family. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml decanter, this limited-edition Extra Añejo represents a quarter-millennium of craftsmanship, celebrating the legacy that began in 1758 when Don José Antonio de Cuervo received land to cultivate agave in Jalisco, Mexico.
Process & Aging
Produced from 100% Blue Weber agave grown on estate lands in Jalisco, this ultra-premium tequila is crafted from a selection of the Cuervo family’s finest reserves. The spirit is aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels, developing richness and complexity before undergoing a final finishing period of approximately 10 months in Spanish sherry casks. This dual-cask aging process creates a layered profile that balances agave sweetness with refined oak and dried fruit character.
