Espolon Tequila is finally back in the U.S. with a fantastic new package and a new unbelievable price. The label is an ultra-cool "Dia de los Muertos" style mural, which immediately catches the eye.
Sweet, zesty, and straightforward, this light-bodied Blanco is appealingly smooth and easy to drink. Nice bright cayenne and terra-cotta notes on the nose, but none of the brininess on the palate that these would suggest. Instead, it's lean, slightly fruity, and relatively mellow. Nice flavors, but could have had more intensity and energy.
A pleasant drink and a particularly good value in its price bracket.
