About Avión Espresso Liqueur
Avión Espresso Liqueur blends Avión Silver Tequila — the purest form of Avión, unaged and clear with all of the flavors coming directly from the ingredients and distillation process — with fine Italian espresso. As a result, Avión Espresso Liqueur has an aroma of dark, roasted Italian espresso beans, which leads to a warm and slightly sweet palate filled with more espresso notes along with agave and rich cocoa. The finish is extraordinarily smooth and enhanced by an slight nuttiness. Avión Silver Tequila was voted the “World’s Best Tasting Tequila” and “Best Unaged White Spirit” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and its beautiful extension into Avión Espresso Liqueur is a must-try.

In 2012, Avión Silver was voted “World’s Best Tasting Tequila” and “Best Unaged White Spirit” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition beating out all vodkas, gins, white rums, and other tequilas. The unique history that led to this and other accolades began in the small town of Jesus Maria in Jalisco, Mexico. Avión Tequila is the brainchild of Ken Austin, longtime tequila aficionado and entrepreneur. Austin traversed Mexico’s Highlands region in search of the most coveted agave before finally encountering the Lopez family, fifth-generation agave growers located in Jesus Maria, and falling in love with their rich agave. Together, they honed their tequila-making skills, blending old-school techniques with newer methodologies and always ensuring that no corners were cut along the way. Grown at 7,000 feet above sea level, each Avión agave takes between seven and ten years to fully grow. Once mature, the agaves are harvested and roasted in brick ovens for 72 hours, which brings out the naturally sweet flavors of the plant. Avión is twice-distilled, with the heads and tails of the resulting distillate being removed to focus on the heart — this labor-intensive process means that up to 30% more agaves are used in making Avión than in other ultra-premium tequilas. Once the distilling is complete, Avión is slow-filtered to showcase the hard work and high-quality artisan ingredients that have gone into making the tequila.Explore all Avión bottles >>
