Try These From Jose Cuervo

Gold

With the Gold, expect toasted agave notes under a sweeter backbone, with a smooth entry and a warm, easy finish designed to perform in mixed drinks where cost and consistency matter.

Silver

The clear, unaged expression focused on bright agave character and clean citrus lift. Silver is made for cocktails that need freshness and bite.

Tradicional Reposado

Reposado sits in oak long enough to add soft vanilla and light caramel while preserving fresh agave and citrus. It’s versatile. Serve neat or on the rocks for casual sipping or in cocktails

Tradicional Añejo

Añejo spends longer in oak to develop deeper barrel notes while keeping agave in the foreground. Expect toasted oak, vanilla, and dried fruit layered over cooked agave and warm spice.

Reserva de la Familia Platino

The ultra‑premium, limited‑release expression presented as a clear, refined añejo filtered to remove color while retaining aged complexity. It’s aimed at collectors and serious sippers who want a refined, aged tequila experience.

Awards and Recognition

In the World Tequila Awards 2025, the Tradicional Cristalino won gold. Their Tradicional Reposado and Reserva de la Familia Cristalino got silver. Bartender Spirits Awards gave gold for both the Trad Añejo in 2024 and Tradicional Cristalino in 2025. To think that these awards were just recent. If we went through all the awards they won since they started… Woof that’s going to be a long list!
