The kind of Tequila that would make John Wayne fall in love with Mexico all over again.

“The Duke” was, John Wayne — the rough and tumble actor who has become an icon of Americanism and the rugged cowboy. Duke Spirits is the holding company owned by John Wayne Enterprises, which is the managed by the family’s estate. Famous for making their Duke Bourbon, they’ve recently expanded their range.

Among other things, The Duke loved Mexico and spent a significant amount of time down there. He filmed some of his most famous movies there and immersed himself in the culture — and yes, this included sipping authentic Tequila with his local friends. To honor his connection to the land, a line of premium Tequilas was launched.

Duke Grand Cru Reposado Tequila Founder's Reserve is a limited-edition Tequila that was finished in French oak Wine barrels from Napa, California, that were used to finish Duke Grand Cru Whiskeys. The agave were hand-selected and distilled at a Mexican distillery from 1885 in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This is a truly unique Spirit — the kind of Tedquila that would make John Wayne fall in love with Mexico all over again.
