Jose Cuervo 2008 Ultra-Premium Tequila Vintage Reserve
Jose Cuervo International has unveiled the 2008 edition of Reserva de la Familia. This is the 13th edition of the Reserva and is considered to be a collectable masterpiece to spirit connoisseurs around the world for both its superior taste and uniquely designed packaging. Each year since 1995, the Cuervo family has selected a renowned Mexican artist to paint the new handcrafted wooden box for its ultra-premium vintage Tequila — part of its continuing support for promising Mexican artists and local culture.
This year's edition features the artistry of Fernanda Brunet, winner of the 2003 Acquisition Prize, VI Bienal de Monterrey, Mexico. In addition to winning several awards and a double gold medal from the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Reserva de la Familia is recognized by industry experts as one of the world's finest spirits. Only a limited number of Reserva de la Familia bottles are produced each year, which makes this prized sipping Tequila a much desired buy.
Aged in new French and American charred oak barrels, Reserva de la Familia has a full, mellow taste that combines floral, agave, vanilla, nut and Cognac-like flavors and is typically sipped in a brandy snifter either straight or on the rocks. Each bottle is carefully assembled by hand, numbered and dated, hand-dipped in wax and then placed in the handcrafted wooden box. The 2008 Reserva de la Familia is expected to be available in most U.S. states in March for approximately $100 per 750ml bottle.
