Why Bourbon Lovers Are Switching

Our Reposado rests in select Tennessee whiskey barrels — the same wood that gives your favorite bourbon its vanilla and caramel depth. The result is a tequila that speaks your language: warm oak, smooth finish, layers that reward the patient sipper.

But here's what bourbon can't give you: zero additives. No glycerin, no artificial vanilla, no coloring. What you taste is pure — fifth-generation agave, traditional copper pot stills, and nothing else.

Bourbon drinkers who find Black Sheep rarely go back. Not because tequila is better. Because this tequila is better.

"Bourbon-esque, rich, and complex."

Frequently Asked Questions

They share more DNA than most people realize. Both are barrel-aged spirits that reward patient sipping, and both develop complex notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak during the aging process. The key difference is the base: bourbon uses corn mash, tequila uses blue agave. Black Sheep's Tennessee whiskey barrel program takes that overlap and amplifies it — our Reposado and Añejo were designed specifically to satisfy the palate of the serious whiskey drinker.
Barrel-aged expressions — Reposado and Añejo — consistently win over bourbon drinkers. Our Reposado is aged in select Tennessee whiskey barrels, which gives it the vanilla and caramel warmth bourbon fans expect. The Añejo goes deeper: dark chocolate, butterscotch, and a long finish that earned it Best Overall Tequila in the World. Both are additive-free, which means what you taste is earned, not manufactured.
Not just can you — you should. The Black Sheep Old Fashioned uses Reposado in place of bourbon, Oaxacan sugar, Angostura bitters, and a wide orange peel. The Tennessee whiskey barrel aging gives the Reposado the same structural warmth that makes bourbon work so well in an Old Fashioned. Most people who try it stop going back to the original. The recipe is on our cocktails page.
Three things most brands can't say: we own our agave fields (400+ acres, fifth-generation farming), we use zero additives (no glycerin, no artificial flavors, no coloring), and we age in Tennessee whiskey barrels specifically selected for their flavor profile. Most aged tequilas use generic French oak. We use barrels that were breaking down bourbon before they held our tequila. The difference shows up in every sip.
