Espolon Blanco Tequila
Blanco tequila from Destilladora San Nicolas in Los Altos, made with 100% blue agave and bottled without ageing. The name "Espolòn" comes from the spur of the rooster`s foot, an important bird in Mexican culture. In fact, a rooster also makes an appearance on the unique label, which is also inspired by Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead. Yes, it is a skeleton riding a rooster. Yes, we agree that this is awesome. The nose is light and floral, with agave and notes of cracked black pepper. The palate has agave up front, with citrus zest, lime, vanilla and peppery warmth on the mid-palate. Classically spicy finish. Overall: Well rounded and enjoyable.
Espolon Tequila
Espolòn Tequila is a brand created by Cirilo Oropeza, an acclaimed master distiller, with over 50 years of experience of distilling tequila under his belt. He creates his tequilas up in Los Altos, in the highlands of Jalisco, and the distinctive labels are inspired by 19th century Mexican art.
