Jose Cuervo Especial Gold Tequila is a popular joven, or “gold” style tequila, made by the historic La Rojeña distillery in Jalisco, Mexico—the oldest active tequila distillery in the world, founded in 1812. This tequila is a blend of reposado (aged) and younger blanco tequilas, with its golden color enhanced by the addition of caramel coloring.
