THE HEART OF OUR DISTILLERY
JESÚS SUSUNAGA
MEETJESÚS SUSUNAGA
Our Maestro Tequilero is at the heart of Espolòn’s production. With over 18 years’ experience, Jesús brings hands-on craftsmanship that is behind each drop of Espolòn produced.
You’d be hard pressed to find a spirits category that Jesús has not studied. From the Cognac houses of France and the vermouth facilities of Italy to the historic distilleries of Scotland, the Caribbean and England, Jesús has explored spirit production and history. But, no matter what, he always came back to his first and true love: Tequila.
PASSION AND FOCUS FOR
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Jesús Susunaga arrives at Casa San Nicolás as the new Maestro Tequilero with proven passion and focus, not to mention nearly two decades’ worth of experience that runs the gamut from production techniques and maturation to the business aspects of running a world-class distillery.
“To create something new, it has to be within the framework of Tequila regulations, but it also has to be new, it needs to be creative.”
