Jose Cuervo Platino Tequila Mexico 70 cl 40%

There is a Cuervo that has never seen a barrel and still tastes like decades of experience. Platino is the family's private expression of agave in its purest form — grown, harvested and distilled using a method only a handful of people in Jalisco know in full detail.

Expert Description

José Cuervo Platino is a Mexican Blanco Tequila (100% Agave), bottled at 40% ABV. It is distilled at La Rojeña in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, and belongs to José Cuervo's "Reserva de la Familia" line — a range originally made solely for the family's and friends' own table.

Platino is made exclusively from 100% organically grown Blue Weber Agave, yeast and water, through a production method called "Esencia de Agave" — a technique José Cuervo has refined over two centuries. The method is designed to preserve the agave's original aroma and character, without the tequila ever touching a barrel.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose offers pepper and honeyed agave, with a hint of apple and parsley.

Palate

The palate is sweet and spicy at once, with melon, honey and hay, followed by a light peppery spice.

Finish

The finish is medium in length and crisp, with chamomile and cinnamon, and the agave stays present throughout.
