Where tequila tradition meets bourbon barrel depth, Espolon Anejo Bourbon Barrel Finished is the rare spirit that wins over both camps without compromising either.


Crafted in small batches from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Jalisco Highlands, Espolon takes an unconventional approach by quartering its agave pinas rather than halving them, maximizing surface area during cooking and drawing out richer, more concentrated flavor. The juice then rests for a minimum of 12 months in ex-Wild Turkey Bourbon barrels, layering the natural character of Highland agave with warm, wood-driven complexity.


  • Nose: Peppery agave spice, butterscotch, vanilla, and a lift of bright citrus
  • Palate: Smooth and rounded, with caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, and a subtle sweetness carried from the bourbon barrel
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering vanilla, gentle pepper, and soft wood notes

Espolon Anejo holds its own neat or on the rocks, but it also shines in a Tequila Old Fashioned or an Anejo Manhattan, where the bourbon barrel finish bridges seamlessly into classic whiskey cocktail territory.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the barrel influence fully open up. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from the Jalisco Highlands of Mexico.

Espolòn is made at Casa San Nicolás (NOM 1440), the distillery Cirilo Oropeza began building in 1996 in the highlands of Los Altos de Jalisco. Agave is steam cooked in custom stainless steel autoclaves Cirilo designed, crushed in roller mills, and fermented while classical music plays for the yeast. The spirit runs through a combination of column and pot stills, and today Maestro Tequilero Jesús Susunaga leads production. Espolòn means the spur of a rooster, and every label carries Ramón the rooster with art inspired by José Guadalupe Posada.

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with San Ignacio Cerro Gordo marked

San Ignacio Cerro Gordo is a small town in Los Altos de Jalisco, between Tepatitlán and Arandas, at the foot of the Cerro Gordo that gives it part of its name. Long part of Arandas, it became Jalisco's 125th municipality on January 1, 2007. Brickmaking and farming are its traditional work, and blue agave, grown for tequila, appears on the town's coat of arms. The red soils and cool nights of the plateau favor slow-growing, sweet agave.
