Espolòn Tequila has achieved global recognition for curating a wide range of events that exemplify the spirit brand’s core ethos of spurring forward in every aspect of life. The House of Ramon event gained inspiration from the spirit brand’s iconic motif Ramon the Rooster, who was selected by founder Cirilo Oropeza, giving the brand its name. Featuring an art installation, a wide range of live vinyl DJs, musical artists, along with food and drink options rooted in Espolòn’s colourful Mexican culture, The House of Ramon is an activation that brings to life the brand’s core qualities fostered by its founder.

Master distiller and founder of Espolòn Tequila Cirilo Oropeza was passionate about crafting a tequila that masterfully brought out the prime qualities of agave. In 1996, Oropeza founded Espolòn Tequila. He spent more than a decade practicing the perfect production process for the recipe. By building the distillery in Los Altos, Mexico, Oropeza kept longstanding Mexican tequila brewing traditions prominent in the production process while intertwining his own unique and forward-thinking ideas. He wanted the brand to embody the land and vibrant Mexican culture of camaraderie, music, and rebellion that it carries to this day. Oropeza’s undying passion in making the best tequila, while staying true to his foundational roots, is what allowed for the brand to garner a global reputation.
