The highlight of Jose Cuervo's distillery is truly their famous Reserva de la Familia. The cava, or vault, stores barrels of the famously smooth spirit that is the pride of this best selling name. The dark amber color with rich legs and the fruity, woody aroma of this tequila adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the rock-lined walls where it is kept. It is extremely smooth and each sip is filled with an undertone of new flavors and surprises. You cannot help but feel warm fuzzies while tasting this super-premium tequila that is reminiscent of a fine Cognac.

Another room in the facility chronicles the designs used for the Reserva de la Familia boxes. Each year Cuervo commissions a different Mexican artist to design a contemporary, often times abstract, piece that is used to decorate the boxes that contain that year's bottling of this fabulous tequila.
