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 Reposado Tequila offers a rich and inviting tasting experience. It opens with a spicy and slightly sweet aroma of vanilla and cinnamon, setting the stage for the complex flavours to follow. On the palate, this tequila delivers a robust and round flavour profile featuring rich roasted agave at its core, complemented by notes of sweet tropical fruit and brown spices. The overall taste is enhanced by a subtle undercurrent of vanilla, contributing to its smoothness. The finish is long and maintains the warmth of the spices, ending on a smooth and spicy note that invites another sip. This well-balanced blend of sweetness and spice makes Espolon Reposado a versatile and enjoyable choice for sipping or mixing in cocktails.
