El Espolòn Blanco Tequila
Blanco tequila from Destilladora San Nicolas in Los Altos, made with 100% blue agave and bottled without ageing. The name "Espolòn" comes from the spur of the rooster's foot, an important bird in Mexican culture. In fact, a rooster also makes an appearance on the unique label, which is also inspired by Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead. Yes, it is a skeleton riding a rooster. Yes, we agree that this is awesome.
