Description:
Espolòn Cristalino is a masterful blend of aged tequilas crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave.

The result is a tequila with the smoothness of a blanco and the rich, layered complexity of an aged expression.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Caramelized agave, sweet honey, and a touch of oak

• Flavor: Rich flavors of vanilla, toasted oak, and light caramel

• Finish: Exceptionally smooth with a fruity and subtly woody finish

Ideal Food Pairings:
Espolòn Cristalino shines alongside hearty Mexican dishes like carne adobada, pozole rojo, and black bean enchiladas. Its smoothness and depth also make it a great match for buttery seafood dishes, grilled meats, or even rich chocolate desserts.

Distillery History:
Casa San Nicolas was founded in 1995 by the visionary Master Distiller Cirilo Oropeza. With decades of experience, Oropeza sought to combine time-honored tequila-making traditions with modern innovation. Espolòn, named for the fighting spur of the rooster, reflects the spirit of Mexican independence and pride. Its bold label artwork pays tribute to legendary artist José Guadalupe Posada, celebrating the vibrant history and culture of Mexico.
