Founded in 1996 in the Highlands of Jalisco and now distilled at the Destiladora San Nicolás distillery in Arandas, the brand operates on a simple premise: 100% blue Weber agave, modern fermentation and distillation, and a price that lets you actually drink the tequila instead of saving it for show. The result is one of the most consistent value tequilas in the U.S. market — and the bottle that bartenders reach for when they want a margarita that tastes like tequila instead of triple sec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle is also unmistakable. Each label features Mexican folk-art illustrations by artist Cesar Soto, with the Day-of-the-Dead-style rooster (the espolón of the brand name — a rooster's spur) and a different scene of Mexican history on each expression. The visual design is half the reason the brand pours so well at gatherings: it looks like a craft tequila even at the price point of an industrial one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Espolón lineup we carry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur Espolón collection covers the full mainline range plus a couple of larger formats and a high-end extra añejo expression that's harder to find on most shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/espolon-tequila-silver-750ml\"\u003eEspolón Blanco (Silver)\u003c\/a\u003e — $39.09 — is the workhorse of the lineup and one of the most-poured 100% agave blancos in America.
