Jose Cuervo released a spooky new tequila

It’s almost October, a month that ends with a night of ghouls, ghosts, and other creepy creatures. It doesn’t necessarily feel like a month for sipping and mixing with tequila. Whiskey seems to get all the love when the weather turns cooler. But the folks at Jose Cuervo think that’s a shame. That’s why they recently released a new, unique tequila expression that’s perfect for chilly fall weather called Jose Cuervo Devil’s Reserve.

It gets its name because it’s a blend of Jose Cuervo Silver and a hit of lingering sweet heat. Instead of 80-proof, it’s bottled at a less potent 60-proof. It’s sure to add some agave, vegetal sweetness, and heat to your favorite tequila-based cocktails this October (and well into the winter months).

“Devil’s Reserve unleashes an entirely new taste upon the world of tequila, bringing the Devil’s mischievous spirit to life for those craving unforgettable nights of adventure with the perfect drink in hand,” Lander Otegui, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Proximo Spirits said in a press release. “Cuervo has an epic legacy in creating centuries of good times across 10 generations, and no one knows how to raise a little hell as much as we do. The Devil is in the details.”

Now, this is a collaboration we can get behind: tequila aged in bourbon barrels. Single-estate tequila brand Tequila Ocho is releasing two 2023 vintages of Tequila Ocho Añejo Barrel Select Old Fitzgerald. If you haven't guessed already, this tequila is made in partnership with the renowned Heaven Hill-owned bourbon brand.

The two vintages of Tequila Ocho Añejo Barrel Select Old Fitzgerald will be released at the same time. One was made with agave harvested in low-altitude Rancho Corralillos, and the other with agave harvested from Rancho Potrero Grande. Both tequilas are matured for twelve months in casks that previously held Old Fitzgerald Bourbon's 10-Year-Old Spring 2023 Decanter Series.

Distillery bars are having a major moment: A new era in the spirits world
Sipping straight from the source
Laws Whiskey House bar.

Remember when speakeasies had a renaissance not too long ago? They seemed to almost single-handedly bring back classic cocktail recipes like the Bee's Knees and the Gin Fizz. Then came the return of great hotel bars and bespoke, off-the-menu cocktails. Now, it is the era of the distillery bar.

There are some truly remarkable options out there now, from the dazzling, church-inspired bar at Laws Whiskey House in Denver to Great Jones in the heart of Manhattan. There's the High West Saloon in Park City, The Emerald Room in Portland, and Kuleana Rum Works in Hawaii. And that's just the tip of a spirits-fueled iceberg.
