Espolòn Reposado

Espolòn Reposado is a reposado tequila at 40% ABV made from 100% blue Weber agave at the Campari Group's Casa San Nicolás distillery in Jalisco, rested for at least two months in American oak casks. The time in cask gives it its golden colour and a fuller structure.

What does Espolòn Reposado taste like?

Its aroma is reminiscent of spiced caramel confectionery. On the palate a medium-to-full, bold body greets you; roasted agave leads. Tropical fruit, vanilla and warming spices complete the picture, tying into a soft finish. It offers a rounder profile than the blanco, with a pronounced cask sweetness.

How is it served?

It can be drunk neat, over ice or in cocktails. The producer positions it as the ideal tequila for a Margarita; it also stands out with its cask notes in cocktails such as the Paloma and tequila-based Old Fashioned. For neat drinking, it can be served at room temperature or with a single large ice cube in a wide glass.

Which foods does it pair with?

The producer recommends this tequila with smoky, barbecue-style flavours: barbecue ribs, roast beef and chicken fajitas are good matches. Grilled red meat and barbecue dishes achieve a natural match with its caramel and spice notes.
