El Tequileno The Sassenach Select - Double Wood Reposado Tequila (750ml / 41.5%)
Sassenach Select is what happens when great whiskey meets amazing tequila. Master distiller Antonio Salles and the Sassenach Spirits founder Sam Heughan joined forces to create a small-batch limited-edition aged tequila.
This award-winning tequila is a double wood reposado that is handcrafted using the finest matured agave from the highlands of Jalisco and mineral-rich water from Volcán de Tequila, distilled in traditional copper pot stills, aged for two years in American Oak barrels, and finished for four months in French Oak barrels, creating and exceptional tequila with unparalleled taste.

El Tequileno has and always will be additive free. This unique brand also does not use chill or coal filtration (except for the Cristalino), ensuring the tequila you have is rich full of oils, aromas and flavour.

EL TEQUILEÑO
“Learning about the process of creating The Sassenach Whisky and hearing stories of Scotland has been an inspirational experience for me. Scottish and Mexican cultures have many similarities - both have great pride in their countries, deep-rooted histories, and of course, a great passion for producing their national spirits! The process of creating this blend first began with us enjoying The Sassenach whisky and using that experience ad the foundation to create a unique blend that encompasses the passion and heritage of our collaboration. I hope you enjoy our creation!”
