This is how the Duke Grand Cru Tequila came to be. It's a threesome of premium single-estate tequilas that are crafted in the Jalisco highlands. The traditionally crafted spirits are made with hand-selected agave piñas that are grown on a single estate. The spirit is then distilled in small copper pot stills, before being aged. Aged 3 years, Duke Extra Añejo Tequila Founder's Reserve is a blend of 3 and 5-year-old tequilas. After its initial maturation in American oak whiskey casks, it's transferred into 3rd use French Grand Cru wine barrels for a round of finishing before being bottled at 80 proof. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGet your bottle of this tequila today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Duke Spirits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Federal regulations in the United States require that bourbon be made from a mash bill of at least 51% corn before being aged in new oak barrels and bottled at 80 proof or higher. Bourbon that meets these requirements and that has been aged for a minimum of at least two years may be called straight bourbon. Duke Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a straight bourbon whiskey that is made by marrying together casks of bourbon that have aged for between five and ten years.  The bourbon is crafted in homage to John Wayne, whose nickname was \"Duke.\" Created by Ethan Wayne (Duke's son), the bourbon's flavor profile was made to reflect Wayne's personal whiskey preferences, which were preserved for over five decades and were only recently discovered. \"My father thrived on new projects and adventures and he always loved a great glass of whiskey at the end of the day,\" says Ethan Wayne. \"Our goal with the Duke was to make a Bourbon that embodies the spirit, strength and richness my father personified while realizing his unfulfilled dream of distilling fine spirits.\"                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=2631\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Duke Spirits bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Tequila\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough tequila has developed a bad reputation, there's more to the spirit than just shots on a Saturday night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis traditional Mexican drink origins in the state of Jalisco when according to a local legend, lightning struck an agave cactus before the Nahua tribe drank its warm nectar.
