Esperanto Seleccion Tequila Rozkolora Blanco
Esperanto Seleccion Tequila Rozkolora Blanco is a 750mL pink-hued blanco from the historic El Llano distillery in Tequila, Jalisco — 100% Blue Weber agave blanco rested in wine barrels, which lends the bottle its rose color without taking it out of the blanco class. "Rozkolora" is Esperanto for "pink-colored," and this is the expression aimed at drinkers seeking something genuinely different in tequila.

A Blanco, Blushing
Tequila Esperanto Seleccion began as the dream of a young Mexican man who spent more than a decade bringing a world-class tequila to life. The Rozkolora is the dream's most distinctive chapter: a blanco that takes a rest in wine barrels — most sources say Cabernet Sauvignon, a minority say Merlot — and emerges with a pink hue and a subtle, smooth character that keeps tequila's characteristic boldness.

Tasting Notes
Per CaskCartel: nose of cooked agave; light-bodied palate with a lightly peppered finish; a fairly long finish. The Barrel Tap adds that "the subtle and smooth flavor matches its pink hue, without losing the characteristic boldness of a tequila." Note: these are retailer notes — treat as guidance.
How to Enjoy
Sip chilled to appreciate the color and the rested-blanco character, or let it lead a pink-tinted margarita — its pink hue makes a natural impression in the glass.
