A worthy homage to the Mexican land.
“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.
Hand-distilled in Los Altos of Jalisco, Duke Grand Cru Extra Añejo Tequila Founder's Reserve is aged and finished for six years in the finest French Oak Wine barrels. That’s just the right amount of time for the wood to impart the delicious flavors of caramel, oak, and vanilla on this lovely agave-forward Spirit. Plus, it’s a bottle with a cause as every Duke Grand Cru Tequila bottle purchased will support the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.

Duke Spirits
Duke Grand Cru Extra Añejo Tequila Founder's Reserve
Dog Dogson's
Smartass corner
Tequila is like Champagne or Cognac. It has a Denomination of Origin, meaning it can only be produced in the Jalisco State, Mexico.
There are over 136 species of Agave. For Tequila to be officially called “Tequila,” it must be comprised of at least 51% of the Blue Weber Agave species.
Tequila is made from one type of agave, Blue agave. Each of these plants takes at least 6 years, more likely a year or two longer to mature.
Need a salt shaker and lime? Nah. The Mexicans take their Tequila neat and prefer to leave the lime and salt for their margaritas. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow suit.
Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged Tequila.
In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
