The story behind it
The maker
Founded in 1998 by Master Distiller Cirilo Oropeza, Espolón was created with a lifelong dream to build a state-of-the-art distillery in Jesus Maria, Jalisco. The brand’s striking artwork, inspired by 19th-century artist José Guadalupe Posada, pays homage to Mexico’s rich history, Independence, and the iconic rooster, Ramon.
How it is made
Handcrafted at San Nicolas Distillery, Espolón is created using 100% Blue Weber agave harvested from the Los Altos region. The spirit is aged for at least two months in lightly charred new American oak barrels to develop its golden hue and complex character.
