A brilliantly refreshing Tequila Blanco that’s more than "just" a pretty mixer.

The Destiladora San Nicolas is located in Los Altos — the Highlands of Jalisco Mexico. The deep red, volcanic soil and high altitude has long been considered the best climate for producing great Weber Blue Agave. They were founded in 1996, growing quickly by producing their own San Nicolas brand of Tequilas. In 2008 they were purchased by the Campari Group. Now, nearly all production goes into Cabo Wabo and their own El Espolòn line of Tequilas.

El Espolòn says that their Tequila Blanco is "For Shaking" — as in making cocktails. And they’re right. But we think that sells this quality Blanco short. This is the Spirit upon which the entire line of El Espolòn Tequilas is built. That means it’s 100% Weber Blue Agave from Jalisco, Mexico, meticulously crafted in the traditional manner. Stand-out qualities include a soft, almost velvet mouth-feel and almost floral profile. So while it’s a superior cocktail-making base, it is also great all on its own.
