A very well-aged and smooth highland Tequila in a stunning black glass bottle.

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 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 El Espolòn line of Tequilas.

El Espolòn Extra Añejo starts like a lot of other premium Tequilas with 100% Weber Blue Agave. But then it’s aged six full years in American oak casks. This unique high-age allows the Tequila to develop extra smoothness and more of its own character. It’s truly rare to find a Tequila aged this long and this well-crafted. And it’s delivered in a stunning black glass bottle that reminds us of the obsidian volcanic glass of the desert southwest. With all of that specialness going for it — as you might imagine — this is a limited edition thing. Once each year’s release is gone... Well, it’s gone.

In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged Tequila.
Tequila goes bad with time. Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidization and evaporation diminish the Tequila quality and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Need a salt shaker and lime? Nah. The Mexicans take their Tequila neat and prefer to leave the lime and salt for their margaritas. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow suit.
The strongest Tequila available for sale clocks in at 75% ABV (150 proof). This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but drinking huge amounts of this spirit is likely te-quil-a.
