Master distiller Cirilo Oropeza founded it in 1998 and built the Casa San Nicolás distillery, NOM 1440, to his own specifications among the agave fields of the Los Altos highlands; Campari owns it now. The Blanco is 100% blue Weber agave cooked twenty to twenty-two hours, fermented with well water drawn from 250 meters beneath the highlands, distilled for five and a half hours, and bottled unaged at 40% ABV; the label celebrates Mexican Independence Day in Posada's skeleton style, and Ramón the rooster is named for the spur on his leg. Expect a nose of cooked agave, tropical fruit, and a floral highland sweetness with white pepper, opening into a clean, bright, medium-bodied palate of agave, pineapple, and citrus with a peppery, moderately long finish. Honest note: Boozemakers points here when Casamigos drinkers ask what to buy for half the money — Espolòn is the value benchmark for highland blanco, made for cocktails by the case and honest enough to sip. For a Margarita, a Paloma, a Ranch Water, or the well that deserves better.

Master distiller Cirilo Oropeza founded Espolòn in 1998 and built the Casa San Nicolás distillery, NOM 1440, to his own specifications among the agave fields of the Los Altos highlands; Campari owns it now. The Reposado is 100% blue Weber agave cooked twenty to twenty-two hours, fermented with well water drawn from 250 meters beneath the highlands, distilled for five and a half hours, rested up to six months in #2 char American oak, and bottled at 40% ABV; the Posada-style label shows a marketplace scene, a place the brand says holds special importance in Mexican history. Expect the Blanco's cooked agave, tropical fruit, and pepper softened by the oak into vanilla, caramel, and a light baking spice, a rounder, gently sweet palate, and a warm, clean finish that keeps the agave in front. Honest note: this is the reposado that made a generation of bartenders take the category seriously at a well price — the reposado Margarita workhorse, and a fine sipper for the money.
