Espolòn  Tequila celebrated the launch of their latest tequila called Cristalino with an immersive “urban cenote” themed experience in New York City’s SoHo.  Espolòn  Cristalino is inspired by the crystalline waters found in the Mayan Cenotes and, the new tequila is the last creation by late founder Maestro Tequilero Cirilo Oropeza and was developed using traditional and modern techniques.

In order to develop the Cristalino, an aged blend of Añejo with a touch of extra  Añejo is filtered through charcoal for the shortest amount of time when compared to the brand’s other tequilas. The process produces rich flavor notes of caramelized agave and honey, with a fruit and oak finish.  The tequila is 80 proof. At the launch, guest had the option of enjoying various Espolòn tequilas such as Añejo, Blanco and Reposado within different cocktails. Light Mexican inspired food bites such as beef empanadas were also served at the launch. At the launch Princess Nokia performed while DJ Paurro played music.

Espolòn  Cristalino is currently available for sale in 750mL bottles for the price of $59.99.
