Jose Cuervo
How we produce Cuervo
The agave plant, from which tequila comes, takes between eight and 10 years to reach maturity and must be harvested by hand. Using a coa de jima or hoe, the harvester, known as a jimador, cuts away the spiky leaves to reveal a large pineapple-shaped heart called a pina.
The pinas are slow baked in clay ovens for two days until soft. Once cooled, they are crushed and strained to extract juice. They are then milled to extract further juices. The liquid is mixed with natural spring water in large fermentation tanks and yeast is added.
This mixture is fermented for seven to 12 days before being twice distilled in pot stills. Ageing in oak barrels produces Cuervo’s distinct colour.
The history behind Cuervo
1758
Jose Antonio de Cuervo obtained land in Mexico to cultivate Agave plants from the King of Spain before it became an independent republic.
1795
King Carlos IV of Spain transferred the land deed to the second Jose Cuervo, Jose Maria Guadalupe Cuervo and granted him the first concession to commercially produce tequila.
1880
Individual bottles were introduced for tequila distribution, replacing the damajuanas (rope-encased jugs) previously used. Bottles made it easier to transport tequila across the Mexican/American frontier.
Today
Cuervo heir Juan Beckmann and his son work together to run the family business.The Beckmann name entered the Cuervo family when Juan Beckmann’s great grandfather, then Germany’s Ambassador to Mexico, married a Cuervo daughter.
