Introducing The Sassenach Select Double Wood Reposado, a limited-batch tequila created through a collaboration between El Tequileño and The Sassenach Spirits. This unique blend combines the expertise of the award-winning El Tequileño distillery with the spirit aficionado Sam Heughan, known for his role in "Outlander." Inspired by their shared passion for exceptional spirits and cultural exchange, they have crafted a tequila that showcases the best of Mexican and Scottish traditions.
To create this expression, the process began with the enjoyment of The Sassenach whisky, leading to a cross-world collaboration that respects and embraces both Scottish and Mexican cultures. The tequila is handcrafted using matured agave from the Highlands of Jalisco, known for its quality, and mineral-rich water from El Volcán de Tequila. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, it is then aged for two years in American oak barrels and finished in French oak barrels. The result is a truly extraordinary blend with a combination of bold taste notes.
