El Tequileño "Sassenach Select" Reposado
El Tequileño Sassenach Select Reposado is a tequila aged for two years in American oak followed by four months in French oak. The nose presents cooked agave, toasted wood, caramel, and vanilla with notes of orange peel and black pepper. On the palate, it offers medium body with cinnamon, minerality, and sweet fruit nuances like cherry. The finish lingers with oak heat, peppery spice, and a faint smoky trace. This double-barrel approach creates a profile that balances agave character with distinct barrel influence, resulting in a complex and spicy spirit.
