Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia 2019 Jorge Pardo Edition
Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia 2019 Jorge Pardo Edition is a 40% ABV (80 proof) extra añejo tequila — from the world's first extra-añejo line — made at La Rojeña (NOM 1122) in Tequila, Jalisco, from hand-selected 10–12-year-old 100% blue Weber agave, using only the inner heart of each piña. The spirit rests an average of 3 years in French and American oak, and the final blend folds in reserves aged over 30 years. Each 750mL bottle is handmade, individually numbered and dated, and wax-sealed. The 2019 edition wears a collectible presentation box by Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo depicting jimadores in the fields. Order collector tequila online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The World's First Extra Añejo
Reserva de la Familia has been the Cuervo family's private-stock line since the beginning, and each year a commissioned artist designs the collectible box — the 2019 bottle comes in Jorge Pardo's digital composition of real photographs of jimadores working the coa and barreton. Cuervo's own copy calls it "vibrant, with a full, mellow flavour" of floral, agave, vanilla and Cognac-like richness. See more Jose Cuervo tequilas and the añejo tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Nose: vibrant agave with floral lift, vanilla and Cognac-like warmth. Palate: full and mellow — cooked agave, vanilla, oak and dried fruit from the long French-and-American oak rest. Finish: long, warm, luxurious. (Cuervo brand copy via trade coverage.)
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat from a proper tequila glass — this is a $200–300 collector bottle, not a mixer. Give it ten minutes of air and let the 30-year-reserve depth show. Keep the Jorge Pardo box; that's half the collectible value.
