OVERVIEW
Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia Platino Tequila is the blanco expression from the Reserva de la Familia range , Cuervo's ultra-premium tier, sitting well above the standard Jose Cuervo lineup. Made using 100% fully mature estate-grown agave and processed through a proprietary method called Esencia de Agave, this is a spirit that takes the blanco category seriously.
Where most commercial blancos rely on speed and efficiency, Platino is built around coaxing maximum character from the agave itself. The result is a bright, clean tequila with genuine depth, sweet, gently spiced, and polished in a way that makes it equally at home neat or in a premium cocktail. If your reference point for Jose Cuervo is the gold or silver you've had at a bar, this is a different conversation entirely.
The Distillery
Produced at La Rojeña in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, one of the oldest operating distilleries in Mexico. The Reserva de la Familia range was created by the Cuervo family to showcase what their house is genuinely capable of at the top end. La Rojeña has been producing tequila since 1795, and the craft knowledge accumulated over that time is evident in every aspect of the Platino's production.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Jose Cuervo Platino for customers who want:
- A genuine premium blanco from one of tequila's most historic distilleries
- Clean, polished agave character with real depth and sweetness
- A step well above commercial blanco for neat sipping or elevated cocktails
- A Cuervo expression that reflects what the family distillery is truly capable of
Production & Craftsmanship
| Agave | 100% Blue Weber Agave — fully mature, estate grown |
| Agave Selection | Only the innermost heart of the piña used |
| Process | Proprietary Esencia de Agave method |
| Distillation | Pot still distillation |
| Aging | Unaged blanco |
| Additives | Not stated |
The focus on using only the heart of the piña — discarding the outer, more fibrous sections — concentrates the natural sweetness and flavour of the agave into the final distillate. This level of selectivity is uncommon at any price point and is the foundation of what makes Platino distinctly different from standard blancos.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh agave, ripe melon, honey, light vanilla, and a gentle herbal lift — clean and inviting without any of the sharpness common in unaged tequilas.
Palate
Sweet and gently spiced — cooked agave, honey, apricot, and a touch of cinnamon and clove. Smooth mouthfeel with more body than most blancos at this price.
Finish
Medium length, clean, and crisp — chamomile, light pepper, and a faint sweetness that fades neatly. No harsh edges.
What Makes This Tequila Special
100% Blue Weber Agave Estate grown, fully mature agave Innermost piña heart only Proprietary Esencia de Agave process Pot still distillation La Rojeña — distilling since 1795 Reserva de la Familia ultra-premium range
How to Enjoy
Excellent neat or lightly chilled in a Glencairn or rocks glass, the sweetness and body hold up well without ice. As a cocktail base, it shines in a Tommy's Margarita or Classic Margarita where the natural honey and agave character can carry the drink. It's also a standout choice for a Paloma if you want to let the fruit notes breathe. Whatever you pour it into, it performs above its weight class.
