Espolon Blanco represents the pure expression of blue agave, crafted with precision and respect for traditional tequila-making methods. This crystal-clear spirit embodies the vibrant culture and artistry of Mexico, making it a standout choice for both tequila enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Production Process
Espolon Blanco is produced in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, using 100% Blue Weber Agave. The agave plants are harvested at peak maturity (8-10 years) and slowly cooked in modern autoclaves. After crushing, the juice undergoes fermentation with proprietary yeast strains, followed by double distillation in pot stills. The result is a clean, crisp tequila that maintains the true character of the agave.

Territory
