Espolon Reposado Tequila

750ml & 80 Proof

What is Espolon Reposado Tequila?

Espolòn Reposado Tequila offers a rich, smooth flavor profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice, thanks to its six-month aging process in American oak barrels. Interestingly, the brand's labels feature artwork inspired by José Guadalupe Posada, a 19th-century Mexican artist whose skeleton illustrations became iconic symbols of Día de los Muertos celebrations, adding a cultural depth to each bottle.

Why do we love Espolon Reposado Tequila?

Cocktail enthusiasts should appreciate Espolon Reposado Tequila for its distinctive flavor profile, which balances the agave's natural sweetness with subtle oak notes from its 3-6 month aging process in new American oak barrels. This 100% Blue Weber agave tequila stands out for its use of a unique, slow-cooking method that employs steam-heated stone ovens, resulting in a smoother, more refined spirit compared to many other reposados on the market.

How do you drink Espolon Reposado Tequila?

Espolon Reposado Tequila shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its smooth, oak-influenced flavor to take center stage. It also works beautifully in agave-forward cocktails, particularly those with citrus notes, and pairs wonderfully with spicy Mexican dishes or grilled meats, making it an ideal choice for warm summer evenings or cozy fall gatherings.

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh agave sweetness, with hints of vanilla and spice. Light oak notes mingle with subtle pepper and citrus zest.

Palate: Smooth entry with a medium body. Roasted agave flavors lead, followed by caramel, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon. Mild oak influence adds complexity without overpowering. A slight peppery heat builds gradually.

Finish: Medium length with lingering warmth. Agave and vanilla notes fade, leaving a pleasant mix of oak and white pepper. Clean and crisp, with a subtle sweetness that invites another sip.

Espolon Reposado Tequila is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, which is cooked in modern autoclaves before being fermented with a proprietary yeast strain. The spirit is then double-distilled in copper pot stills and aged for 3-5 months in lightly charred American oak barrels, resulting in a smooth tequila with subtle oak and vanilla notes.

Espolòn Reposado's label features artwork inspired by José Guadalupe Posada, a Mexican political printmaker famous for his satirical "calaveras" (skeletons). The skeleton on horseback depicts Guadalupe Victoria, Mexico's first president, symbolizing the brand's revolutionary spirit.

Despite its rich flavor profile, Espolòn Reposado is aged for just 3-5 months in new American oak barrels. This relatively short aging period showcases the distiller's skill in rapidly developing complex flavors without overpowering the agave's natural essence.

The name "Espolòn" refers to the spur of a fighting rooster, chosen to honor both the iconic Mexican cockfighting tradition and the bold, defiant spirit of the Mexican people during their fight for independence.
