In other countries, companies don't want to advertise that they are kosher and you need a kosher list. We are lucky in that companies want to use the OU as a marketing tool!

These barrels are where the flavor comes from in the aging! So you are actually drink, Scotch and or Whiskey, when you drink Tequila! I can almost guarantee that Jack Daniels is not certified by the OU! The bottling facility, bottles numerous brands of Tequila through the same facility! There are only a few Distillery's in Tequila Mexico that can produce those huge numbers being shipped. I doubt a distillery built a separate wing in Mexico, just for Agave 99 and why is it that no one has stated which Distillery it is? All Tequila is aged in used Whiskey Barrels!

Look at the date on the teshuva (igrot moshe YD 1:47 I believe, but can't check as on a bus). You'll see that Rav Soliveitchik had been allowing it for his boston community already at that point. milhouse, Rav Moshe wasn’t the first to allow it, nor was his reasoning unique to himself.

It is commonly believed that some tequilas have a worm in them, or that a worm is used in the making of tequila, so the kosher consumer might be reluctant to purchase tequila without a hekhsher even though they would purchase other hard liquors without certification.
