Description
Named for a Rooster's Spur, Drawn Like a Day of the Dead Print
Espolón was built in the highlands of Jalisco as a tequila for Mexicans rather than for export. The label art is drawn in the style of José Guadalupe Posada, the engraver whose skeleton calaveras became the imagery of Día de los Muertos — and there is a story panel on the back label, with the rooster and the skeleton recurring across the range.
Blanco is the unaged expression and the purest read on the agave. Highland agave tends to be sweeter and more floral than lowland, and with no barrel in the way that comes through directly.

Questions
How does it compare to more expensive blancos?
Espolón consistently punches above its price, which is why it is a bartender's default. At double the money you get refinement, not a different category of drink.
Blanco or Reposado for margaritas?
Blanco. The point of a margarita is bright agave against lime; six months of oak softens exactly what you want forward.
