In this case, the Scotch whisky casks contribute the residual phenolic compounds, dried fruit, and chocolate notes from the whisky that previously occupied them, producing a tequila that reads as unmistakably agave-forward while carrying a Scotch-influenced complexity in the background. For tequila enthusiasts who also drink Scotch, it is one of the more interesting crossover expressions in the premium tequila category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave sweetness and tropical fruit with the subtle smoke and dried fruit of the Scotch cask influence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave and tropical fruit leading into peat, dark chocolate, and a complex spice from the Scotch cask finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and complex — the Scotch cask character lingers alongside the agave base\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Primavera, Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1449)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Blue Weber, Los Altos highlands\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reposado Double Cask\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 months American white oak, then 30 days Scotch whisky cask finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/don-julio\"\u003eDon Julio lineup at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes Don Julio Reposado Double Cask taste like Scotch whisky?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — it tastes like tequila with a Scotch-influenced complexity.
