Casa Cuervo is the tequila producer associated with the Jose Cuervo brand and a distilling history traced to 1758.
The company’s history begins with a land grant made to José Antonio de Cuervo in the region of Tequila, Jalisco. His descendants later developed commercial agave-spirit production, and the Cuervo family name became linked with one of the world’s best-known tequila brands. The company is now commonly identified as Casa Cuervo.
The year 1758 refers to the early historical roots of the enterprise, not necessarily to the launch of every modern Jose Cuervo product. Tequila production developed over many generations, and the brand’s present portfolio includes several categories and expressions.
Casa Cuervo should not be confused with Sauza, another historic Jalisco tequila producer, or with Patrón, a later luxury-focused brand. These companies have separate histories and ownership structures.
