Jose Cuervo Tequila at Taperia La Mina — The World’s #1 Tequila from Mexico
Our Jose Cuervo Tequila at Taperia La Mina brings the authentic spirit of Mexico to Benidorm. Jose Cuervo is the world’s best-selling tequila and the oldest active tequila brand, with a history stretching back to 1795 when the Cuervo family received the first official license to produce tequila from King Carlos IV of Spain. Made from 100% blue agave in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, Jose Cuervo Gold is the tequila that defined the category and remains the standard by which all other tequilas are measured.
The History of Tequila
Tequila has been produced in Mexico for over 400 years, originating from the distillation practices of Spanish colonists who adapted the art of distillation to the native blue agave plant. The region around the town of Tequila in Jalisco state became the heart of production, and the Jose Cuervo family led the way in professionalizing and globalizing the spirit. The distillery at La Rojeña, owned by the Cuervo family, is the oldest active distillery in Latin America.
Tequila and Spanish Cuisine
At Taperia La Mina, we serve Jose Cuervo as a complement to our Spanish tapas and Mexican-inspired dishes.
