Espolòn

El Espolòn is a brand of tequila from Campari Group. The tequila is produced in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico.

As our founder Cirilo Oropeza explored how to bring to life the Tequila he envisioned, he was driven by two Mexican icons: the rooster, a symbol of national pride, and the revolutionary artist Jose Guadalupe Posada. Cirilo was so inspired that soon, a rooster lovingly named Ramon, alongside art deeply inspired by Posada, would come together to define Espolòn’s core meaning.

In 1996, Cirilo began building Espolòn’s home – Casa San Nicolas in Los Altos de Jalisco. Situated at a high altitude, an indication of the heights to which he sought to elevate Tequila, Casa San Nicolas became a workshop where art and science exist in harmony, and where inspiration is easy to come by. With deep knowledge of the ins and outs of making Tequila, Cirilo knew how to keep the best parts of longstanding traditions while bringing to life his unique, revolutionary vision for Espolòn. Soon, he was producing a Tequila that embodies the spirit of Mexico – a rebel spirit full of music, color, pride and camaraderie.
