Jose Cuervo Tequila Especial Gold (70cl, 38%)

Jose Cuervo Tequila Especial Gold is a golden tequila from Jalisco, Mexico. It is a mixto made with at least 51% blue agave, blended from younger tequilas and mellowed with caramel colouring. The brand dates back to 1795, when Jose Cuervo became the first commercial tequila producer in the world. The tequila is a workhorse spirit that holds its own in shots and cocktails. On the nose it has warm vanilla, cooked agave and citrus. The palate is smooth and approachable, with caramel, honey, toasted oak and a gentle agave kick. The finish is short to medium, with warming spice.
