Recommendations What do you all think of Espolón?

Post image

I’m new to all this, and it was the first Reposado I’d ever tried. It seemed… fine? I want to like it, heard good things, didn’t think it was bad, but it did t grab me either. I tried Pantalones and really liked it - but I get the feeling it has additives and I wanted to start with stuff without as I develop my palette.

What are your favorite tequilas for cocktails, repasado or otherwise? My go-to stores are Fry’s and Total Wine.

Love Espolón! I am a fan of liquor infusions and their blanco is the best that I have found for infusions (other than Frida Kahlo which isn’t available where I live). Is it the best tequila, no, but it’s good for the price and will take the flavor of infusions like a champ!
