Espolòn Tequila, the premium tequila brand, recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the new Espolòn Cristalino - a super-premium, aged tequila. The new beverage pays homage to the Crystalline Waters of Mayan Cenotes and is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave.
To kick of the the U.S. launch, Espolòn is hosting the Urban Cenote, a mesmerizing, immersive experience in the center of New York City. From September 21st -23rd, fans (over the age of 21) are invited to be visually transported to Mexico's age-old caves and crystal-clear waters while enjoying the first taste of Espolòn Cristalino.
"Espolòn's Cristalino is a testament to our late founder, Maestro Cirilo, who has proven that a truly authentic tequila experience is achievable only through time and passion," said Sean Yelle, Senior Category Marketing Director at Campari Group USA. "A project years in the making, our Cristalino was created using both traditional and modern techniques, resulting in a one-of-a-kind liquid that celebrates Espolòn's rich heritage and Cirilo's trailblazing spirit."
