Which company owns the José Cuervo tequila brand?

Becle, S.A.B. de C.V. owns the José Cuervo tequila brand.

José Cuervo is produced by a Mexican company whose history reaches back to 1758, when José Antonio de Cuervo received a land grant connected with agave cultivation and distilling in Jalisco. The brand became one of Mexico’s best-known tequila names and expanded into international markets.

Becle is the corporate name associated with the José Cuervo business. The company’s portfolio includes several tequila labels and other spirits, while José Cuervo remains its flagship brand. This can be confused with multinational drinks groups such as Diageo or Brown–Forman, which own other major tequila brands.

José Cuervo’s long history is also why the brand is often described as one of the world’s oldest continuously operating tequila producers. Its heritage predates Mexico’s modern denomination-of-origin rules by more than two centuries.
