Jose Cuervo Tequila partners with artist Ricardo Cavolo to create vivid bottle murals.
\nJose Cuervo is celebrating 222 years of tequila making \u2013 and the birth of the tequila industry as we know it today \u2013 with the launch of a limited edition bottle series. For this celebratory release, renowned muralist and artist Ricardo Cavolo has designed intricate characters that represent key characters and moments for the world\u2019s largest selling tequila brand.<\/p>\n

Jose Cuervo partnered with Ricardo Cavolo for his bold and convention breaking spirit as an artist \u2013 the same spirit that has empowered Jose Cuervo since its earliest days. Ricardo visually narrates the history of Jose Cuervo through four vivid illustrations across the Jose Cuervo Especial Gold and Silver bottles:<\/p>\n

The Heart of an Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1795, the King of Spain granted Jose Antonio de Cuervo the first royal concession to produce tequila commercially. This singular event marks the birth of tequila as we know it today, making Jose Cuervo not only the founder but the heart of an entire industry.<\/p>\n

The Devil\u2019s Water<\/strong><\/p>\n

When three barrels of Jose Cuervo tequila first crossed the border to the United States in 1873, the few Americans who dared to drink the fiery liquor claimed a spot among the last rogues of the West. The simple act of drinking Agua Del Diablo (the Devil\u2019s water) imbued adventure at a time when Americans saw tequila as a mysterious, dangerous spirit.<\/p>\n

A Special Lady<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Mexico\u2019s tumultuous years following its revolution, Jose Cuervo broke social convention by anointing a woman, Ana Gonzalez-Rubio y de la Torre, as the head of the entire company to provide leadership and guidance in times of turmoil.<\/p>\n

A Music Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Rolling Stones\u2019 legendary 1972 Tequila Sunrise Tour to countless tequila-inspired anthems, Jose Cuervo continues to lead and create timeless moments throughout musical history.<\/p>\n

\u201cJose Cuervo shares the same spirit of intensity that is found in my artwork, so it is a perfect union. Working on this non-traditional canvas has given me the ability to take my art to people by way of a bottle that people can enjoy long after the tequila has been finished.\u201d
\n\u2013 RICARDO CAVOLO<\/p>\n
