Advantages: Mellow and smooth

Disadvantages: Hangover if you drink too much, too quickly

Jose Cuervo Gold (a.k.a Jose Cuervo Especial) tequila is a reposado tequila, meaning it has been aged in oak casks for between two months and a year.

This is possibly one of my favourite tequilas, and the best commercial tequila I've tasted. Tequila itself can have an odd, sometimes unpleasant smell, and a taste that definitely gets used to. I find the smell of this tequila almost pleased, and it certainly has a superior taste.

I drink my tequila most often as a shooter with salt and lemon and for this purpose there is no better tequila than Jose Cuervo Especial. It is smooth and mellow, with a nice aftertaste. To be perfectly honest it's nice enough to drink on its own, though I have yet to try it on the rocks.

This tequila also works particularly well in lemonade, with just a dash of lime. It also excellent in a margherita.

A small downside to this tequila is the cost. Jose Cuervo is a premium brand so bottles of this stuff can get a bit pricey (in the region of £17 for 75cl). If you like your tequila, however, the price is a small sacrifice. This is good stuff.

Remember, always drink responsibly.
