Espolòn - Tribute to Mexico

"Espolòn" means "spur", referring to the tool attached to the leg of the fighting cock, also evoked by the symbol on the bottle itself. However, as explained by the late Maestro Cirilo, creator of this super premium distillate , it also means “to push: always forward, serenaded by the spirits of the past”.

Born in the famous Mexican distillery San Nicolas , founded in 1998 by Don Raul Plascenci in memory of his grandfather, this handcrafted tequila with 100% Blue Agave celebrates and tells the entire history of Mexico. In the Blanco version, suitable for mixing, the “piñas” (hearts of agave) are slowly cooked in an autoclave, then left to ferment to allow these essences to transform into alcohol. The second variant, Reposado (91 pt Wine Enthusiast) , also excellent smooth, follows the same processing method, but appears to the eye with an intensely golden color thanks to an aging of 3 to 5 months in lightly toasted American oak barrels , which they are found on the nose in the spicy notes and caramel aromas.
