El Tequileno The Sassenach Select Double Wood Reposado 750 ml

El Tequileño The Sassenach Select Double Wood Reposado is a collaboration between Sam Heughan's Sassenach Spirits and El Tequileño master distiller Antonio Salles, made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco. It's a reposado rested across two barrel types — American and French oak, the "double wood" in the name — which gives it more layering than a single-cask reposado typically shows. The nose leans into cooked agave, vanilla, light caramel, and citrus, while the palate brings caramel popcorn, toasty oak, sweet spices, and herbal notes from the agave itself. It's built for someone who already drinks reposado and wants to see what two wood types add to the category, not a first tequila.

How to drink El Tequileño Sassenach Select

Drink it neat or on the rocks in a proper glass — the caramel-popcorn and toasted-oak notes are the point here, and mixing them into a cocktail buries what the double-wood aging is doing. If you do want it in a drink, keep it simple: an añejo-style Old Fashioned swap lets the oak carry through instead of getting lost.
