My Tasting Notes: With a clear color, Espolon Silver has intense aromas of earthy
and floral scents.  Less apparent are moderate spice and fruit with mild smoke
aromas.  Upon initial taste, the tequila has a heavy mouth feel and has a slight burning
sensation on the tip of the tongue.  Intense flavors of agave, spice, and earth accents
are followed by moderate floral and smoke flavors.  The finish consists of hot alcohol
intensity and a medium-to-long duration of flavor.



Info on the Back of the Bottle: "This product is a premium quality tequila made
from 100% pure blue agave, produced and bottled in Los Altos region of Jalisco,
Mexico.  ESPOLON exceeds the strictest official quality standards.  We apply our many
years of experience to assure a superior taste and body.  We have selected ESPOLON
as the name for this fine product to symbolize the cock breading, a familiar tradition of
the culture of Mexico."



Other Info: “For Tequila Espolon the dream started in 1898 when Don Celso
Plascencia, a hard working man and a man of good values, had the illusion of having its
own Tequila Factory, as when he visited the lands he used to dream about making his
own tequila.

As time went by one of his grandsons, called Raul Plascencia, a Mexican entrepreneur,
made the dream of that great man come true and with the support of several Mexican
business men saw Don Celso Plascencia’s illusion become a reality, the same story he
used to tell his grandchildren.

By 1996 the first stone was put and by June 1998 the great dream was a reality when
San Nicolas Distillery was opened, in the loving memory of Don Celso Plascencia.
The facilities of San Nicolas Distillery show the ancient Mexican cultural environment,
mixed with the most modern production technology, reason why in 1999 the School of
Architects and Engineers of Jalisco awarded the company with the recognition of The
Best Tequila Factory of the region.

The Plascencia family is proud to present you Tequila Espolon, a Tequila with great
personality, capable of satisfying the most demanding palates of the world.
In its origin the tradition, from Arandas the distinction.”

“This Tequila 100% from agave, is born from the alambique, which is the result from
the distillation, does not have any rest, and reminds us of the characteristic agave
aroma, from where it comes.”  –
