Jose Cuervo, the world’s largest tequila maker, is pushing forward with plans for an initial public offering after delaying the share sale last year, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

The company plans to start formally marketing the deal to investors with a multi-city roadshow this week and the offering may price as early as February 8, said the person, who asked not to be identified without authorization to speak publicly.
