El Tequileño Sassenach Select Double Wood Reposado Tequila

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Smooth and warmly oaky on the palate, El Tequileño Sassenach Select Double Wood Reposado Tequila brings notes of cooked agave, vanilla, gentle spice, and a rounded sweetness that makes it easy to sip neat or over ice. Produced in Mexico, this reposado tequila is associated with double wood maturation, giving it extra depth and a polished barrel character while still keeping the agave at the center. With an ABV of 0.4, it fits beautifully into a relaxed evening pour, especially alongside grilled pork or aged cheese, where its soft spice and wood influence can complement savory, rich flavors.

Producer Information: El Tequileño

El Tequileño is a tequila producer rooted in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, where its identity is closely tied to the Los Altos and Valles traditions of agave cultivation and distillation. Founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo, the distillery has built its reputation on careful agave selection, traditional cooking, fermentation, and maturation practices that reflect the character of the region. Its portfolio spans classic expressions such as blanco, reposado, añejo, and extra añejo tequilas, along with higher-proof and premium bottlings that highlight blue Weber agave, oak aging, and the house’s balanced, agave-forward style.
