Maestro Cirilo's career wasn't inspired by a taste of phenomenal tequila. Quite the opposite: he had brought a bottle of tequila to a part and it was, in a word, horrendous. It was so fiery, jagged-edged, careless and lazy that it was an injustice to the tequila makers of generations past. All of his friends at the part were drinking branding, which they saw as exotic because it was made outside Mexico. It was at that moment the Cirilo knew that with a little effort and resourcefulness, he could make a tequila that saluted ancestral traditions, yet wasn't bound to them.
Espolon Blanco Tequila provides a crisp and vibrant tasting experience. It starts with an aromatic bouquet dominated by sweet agave, layered with subtle hints of citrus and floral notes that introduce a refreshing complexity. On the palate, this tequila showcases a robust agave presence complemented by nuances of vanilla, grilled pineapple, and a dash of black pepper, creating a well-rounded and lively profile. The finish is smooth and clean, leaving a subtly spicy and pleasantly lingering aftertaste that makes Espolon Blanco a standout choice for both sipping neat and mixing into various cocktails.
