LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The bartender's secret weapon. It is arguably the best value-for-money 100% agave tequila on the market, offering a level of vibrancy and technical purity that shames brands twice its price.

The Library Note

Founded in 1998, Espolón was born from Master Distiller Cirilo Oropeza's lifelong dream of creating a tequila that honored Mexican culture while pushing the limits of modern production. Using music in the fermentation house to 'inspire' the yeast, it has become a global favorite for its purity and value.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Bright and citrus-forward with clear notes of roasted agave, tropical fruit, and a hint of lime zest.

THE PALATE

Crisp and light-bodied. Dominant notes of grilled pineapple and sweet agave are balanced by a sharp, peppery spice.

THE FINISH

Clean, elegant, and persistent with a lingering mineral snap and a touch of vanilla bean.

Sensory Profile
