If you’re ever in the mood for a top-shelf slow-sipping dram to end your evening, chances are you’ll select Scotch, bourbon or perhaps Cognac.

Tequila companies are looking to change that. By aging tequilas in used whiskey, brandy, wine and sherry casks, producers are creating refined bottlings that satisfy the cravings of a Scotch lover while introducing them to the floral, vegetal flavors of tequila. Here, three ways companies are using seasoned barrels to flavor their tequilas.

Wine Barrels
Dulce Vida, an Austin-based tequila company, recently released the Limited Edition Extra Añejo tequila rested for five years in American oak barrels previously used to age Napa Valley Cabernet and Merlot. Aging the tequila in the wine barrels gives it an amber hue, along with a touch of spice and a rounder, almost port-like mouthfeel. $169.
