Tradicional® Añejo is 100% blue agave tequila aged in charred American oak, then finished in Irish single malt whiskey barrels. It is the pinnacle of the Jose Cuervo Tradicional line, which has been masterfully honed over 200 years. Carried out completely in the artisanal tradition developed by Jose Antonio de Cuervo: cooking the agave in clay ovens and distilling the tequila in copper stills. (40% ABV-80 proof) • Founded in 1795, the Cuervo® distillery, La Rojeña, in Jalisco, Mexico, is the oldest active spirits distillery in Latin America. Jose Cuervo was the first commercial producer of tequila in the world.

SUSTAINABILITY
30 years ago, Cuervo set out on a mission to find more creative uses for agave, beyond tequila. We called the initiative, The Agave Project – a commitment to turning recycled agave fiber into sustainable products for our community.
Our goal is to maintain a long-standing commitment to the land and people of Tequila and Mexico by harnessing the potential of its lifeblood – the agave plant.
From bricks to build homes to biodegradable straws to sip tequila, Jose Cuervo is working to find more creative uses for agave fiber, the same raw material used to make our tequila. Made using Jose Cuervo agave as one its principle components, our drinking straws can biodegrade fully within one to five years in landfill conditions. The straws replace around a third of the polymers used in traditional straw production. Our goal is the pursuit of better — better tequila, better communities, and a better world for us all.
