Jose Cuervo Platino Reserva de la Familia

I'm not a big fan of the Cuervo brand. What made me buy this bottle was how pretty the box and bottle was. I was surprised how much i ended up like this blanco. It is by far the best tequila that Jose Cuervo makes. I would buy this again

the price just dropped in my area to 45 bucks, much better then most silvers,very smooth with a great ending,

Tasted with ice on May 13, 2008.

Jose Cuervo Platino Reserva de la Familia

Color: clear
Aroma: agave & the smell of the ice
Taste: light on the tongue with the taste of wet cement thoughout finishing with very little burn

This is a blanco that I felt is all name and over priced. I will not try again without the ice to see if the taste changes as other blanco have cut thru the ice with great flavors. I favor the blancos of Chinaco, Corralejo and Milagro. My current top three blanco picks as of the writing of this review.

Beautifully packaged, but I think I was paying more for that than the tequila itself! In my humble opinion, a bit overpriced. But is it a great blanco? Id have to say yes, but it doesnt break into my top five.

Aroma: Nice hints floral and earth
Initial taste: Slightly bitter but very tasty
Body: intense flavors of agave and earth
Finish and duration: A bit of a short numbing finish for me.
