Global tequila brand Jose Cuervo has unveiled its 2024 collector’s box for Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo, a collaboration created with Celebrated Mexican Sculptor, Goldsmith, and Leatherer, Ana Pellicer.
Jose Cuervo has been working with globally celebrated Mexico-based artisans for three decades, resulting in nearly thirty uniquely crafted limited-edition Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo collector’s boxes.
The choice of Ana Pellicer continues this legacy as her work is celebrated globally and has been featured in some of the world’s most prestigious cultural institutions, including the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Sculpture Garden of the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City.
“I’ve long admired the craftsmanship, philosophy, and, of course, the quality of Reserva de la Familia, but what I’ve found most special about this precious tequila is how it embodies familial strength,” said Pellicer.
“To be selected as the designer for this year’s collector’s box is a tremendous honour. I am proud to create artwork that represents the colours, shapes and tone of one of Mexico’s most iconic landscapes for one of the world’s most celebrated tequilas.”
To create this year’s design, Pellicer utilized an artistic technique called “tempera,” an ancient medium that involves painting with pigments bound in a water-soluble emulsion to create a satin sheen finish with rich tones and colour depth. The result is a design that features the burnished reds and shining ochres of copper present in the landscape of Tequila, Mexico.
Entitled “Insatiable Transparencies of a Historic Landscape”, the work stands as a testament to Pellicer’s interpretation of the birthplace of tequila, serving as a captivating reflection of one of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural pillars.
Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo is the award-winning pinnacle of the Cuervo portfolio. Every step in creating this exceptional tequila is done with meticulous care, following an artisanal process handed down over generations.
