Jose Cuervo Traditional is made in limited amounts each year. A pale straw-coloured reposado made from 100% blue agave and rested in white oak barrels.

Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila:

Tequila Tasting Notes: Pale, honeyed colour. Great clarity, and a nicely defined agave nose. Rich, fruity, almost tropical in nature. There is a nice, almost glycerine mouthfeel on the palate, but the finish is a little hot and raw. (heartfulness.org) There is some Mexican oregano and caramel, but a little too much orange peel.

Drink Pairing: Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila really shines with lively seafood based dishes, and can be paired with limes or lemons for a nice light cocktail. A very nice offering from Jose Cuervo.

Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila Review 2:

Tequila Tasting Notes: Light on the nose, but the open palate shows flavours of thick, creamy caramel with a hint of clotted cream. A lovely soft entry on the palate but I can’t quite put my finger on it; there is a lack of character. You just can’t put your finger on it. Soft, but continuous and slightly fruity finish, with flavours of coffee, chocolate and an almost nutty character, but not enough long-lasting finish.

Peer Review: 18/20

Drink Pairing: Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila is best served on its own with a slice of lemon, and with dinner, as it is not a multiple use tequila.

Tequila Tasting Notes: Fresh, pleasant nose, with light, grassy notes and a hint of lime. Light on the tongue and with a pretty vanilla nose, it seems to be a well-crafted white tequila. The agave hits you on the back of the tongue. The finish is light, crisp, long and pleasing.

Drink Pairing: Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila can be served on the rocks, or with water in a tequila or vodka & soda, but it is best suited as a margarita or on the rocks. My favourite part about this tequila is its versatility.

Tequila Tasting Notes: Purple, with a very aromatic and balanced nose, and smooth from the minute you open the bottle. Dry and spicy on the palate, with notes of coffee and a very light, almost fruity finish.

Drink Pairing: Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila can be used as a shot, and is more than passable as a mixed drink. Surprisingly enough, I think it would work best straight up.

Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila Review 10:

Tequila Tasting Notes: The nose is not as engaging as Tequila Ocho or Patron Silver, but it is dry and smooth. There is a hint of toffee with a hot, peppery finish, but it is remarkably well-balanced.

Peer Review:

Drink Pairing: Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila takes to water very well, and would make a pretty good shooter. The tequila has a solid vanilla and caramel finish, so it would be pretty good in a cocktail.
