Description: Espolon Tequila is a handcrafted, award-winning spirit produced in Los Altos, the Highlands region of Jalisco, Mexico, at the San Nicolas Distillery by the Master Distiller – or Maestro Tequilero – Cirilo Oropeza. It is made from 100% hand-harvested Blue Weber Agave, reflecting the marriage of Mexican tradition with modern techniques. The tequila undergoes a double distillation process using both column and pot stills, resulting in a smooth and balanced agave-forward flavor profile.
Tasting Notes: Espolòn Anejo is aged for at least 12 months in new American white oak casks, then finished for at least 1 month in heavily charred ex-Wild Turkey bourbon barrels. This aging process imparts rich and complex flavors from the barrels, similar to whiskey, resulting in a perfectly balanced and well-rounded character with a bright reddish-gold color. It offers a medium to full-bodied experience with a velvety mouthfeel. The flavor profile achieves a complex balance of roasted agave and wood, with subtle notes of caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, butterscotch and chocolate.
