Jose Cuervo over 200 years ago Jose Antonio de Cuervo acquired land in the rich lava fields of the tequila volcano from the King of spain. His purpose was to cultivate the sacred plant indigenous to those mineral-rich lands – blue agave – and to create a fine, unique spirit: Tequila Cuervo.

Today, at the same distillery, the oldest in latin America, the Cuervo family continues to produce its unique range of tequilas enjoyed the world over. Cuervo Especial Reposada, aged in oak barrels, contains all the magic of the blue agave and Cuervo Especial silver has a lighter crisper taste. both Cuervo Reposada and the silver are best enjoyed ice cold.

The Kraken Rum like the sea monster, the Kraken rum is black and powerful. Distilled on Trinidad & Tobago and fermented from naturally sweet molasses made from sugar cane grown on the nearby riverbanks. The rum is aged in oak barrels for between 12 to 24 months before being blended with a range of 14 different spices including cinnamon, ginger and clove.
