Born at the high elevations of Jalisco’s Highlands, Espanita Tequila pays homage to multigenerational traditions of the tequila-making craft that originated in Mexico hundreds of years ago. Espanita Tequila’s award-winning Artesano collection is created from 100% Blue Agave plants, hand-selected and harvested at the peak of their ripeness at an average age of 8 to 12 years. Harvested agaves “piñas” are slowly cooked in traditional stone oven (called “horno”) for up to 72 hours with continuously circulating steam, a process that imparts unique sweet, honeyed, earthy flavors to agave; unmistakable hallmarks of traditionally crafted tequilas. Cooked agaves are crushed with a roller mill to extract sweet aromatic juice, which is fermented with a proprietary strain of yeast for 5 to 7 days to ensure complex, rich taste. Once fermentation is completed, Espanita is double distilled in small batches in traditional copper-lined alembic pot stills. Slow distillation is instrumental for precise separation of impurities and a creation of an elegantly balanced tequila with creamy, silky mouthfeel. To achieve this, in both distillation rounds only the purest middle part of each batch, called El Corazon (“heart”), is reserved, and used to ensure mellow, nuanced texture of the spirit. Our Blanco is bottled unaged, while Reposado and Añejo matures to perfection in toasted American Oak casks for up to 6 and 18 months, respectively, to create tequila with a memorable style and a captivating mélange of flavors that reward every sip. Authentic and agave-forward, all three staple age expressions are perfect sippers and can be used to create truly outstanding mixed drinks.

Espanita’s Barrel Reserve collection features unique, complex, and elegantly balanced tequilas with authentic style achieved through innovative aging techniques and experimentation with different types of wood and finishes. Meticulously crafted, Double Barrel Espanita Reposado Tequila is initially matured in American White Oak casks, then the aging process is completed in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels sourced from Kentucky. The extended aging process and exposure to two different kinds of wood mellow the spirit and enrich its flavor profile, resulting in a truly remarkable 97-point rated tequila. To create our Double Barrel edition of Espanita Añejo, we age our 100% Blue Agave tequila in toasted American Oak casks for at least 12 months first and then maturation process continues for another 8 months in Bourbon barrels. Both tequilas are perfect sippers and produce remarkably delicious riffs on such classic cocktails as Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Negroni, Sour, Side Car and many others brown spirit based mixed drinks.

At the heart of our award-winning “Signature Infusions” collection of fruit-infused tequilas is Espanita Blanco, traditionally crafted from hand-selected 100% Blue Agave plants cultivated at the high elevations of Los Altos. These Highlands agaves are famous for producing tequila with pleasant sweetness to the palate with aromatic citrus notes. These sought-after Agaves are joined by fresh Mexican-grown fruit to create all-natural fruit-infused tequilas, delicious and versatile in their application. Artisanal production involves maceration of natural fresh Mexican-grown fruit in high-proof tequila for at least 45 days, a process where flavors are slowly extracted from hand-sliced fruit and married into a delectable 100% Blue Agave foundation. Then the fragrant infusion is blended, cold-filtered and bottled at 35% Alc. By Vol. Our line of Signature Infusions includes Espanita Lime, Espanita Grapefruit and Espanita Pineapple. Sippable and delicious, all Signature Infusions can be enjoyed chilled, on the rocks and garnished with a fresh lime wedge, with sparkling soda for an easy spritz or used in various tequila-based cocktails.
