There are so many tequila brands on the market that keeping them all apart is challenging. Remembering Alma del Jaguar Tequila should be easier since this ultra-premium spirit brand supports jaguar conservation in the U.S. and Mexico. If that’s not enough, it’s also launching a new expression just in time for the holidays.
Alma del Jaguar Añejo
The second fastest-growing tequila brand in the U.S., Alma del Jaguar, is releasing an añejo. Alma del Jaguar Añejo was made with 100% Blue Weber agave in collaboration with fifth-generation tequila makers the Vivanco family and master distiller Sergio Cruz at the renowned NOM 1414 distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico.
This small-batch tequila is a blend of tequilas matured in three lots of American and French oak barrels. The first is a double-barrel batch that was matured for 6.7 months in American oak and 11 months in French oak. The second is a single American oak batch that was matured for 20.7 months. The last is a single American oak batch that was matured for 20.2 months. The result is a complex, sippable tequila loaded with flavors like caramel corn, vanilla, toffee, limestone, and oak.
“Our goal was to craft a tequila with layers of flavor that would set this añejo apart,” Founder McCauley Williams said in a press release. “Each sip reveals something new, making the experience both dynamic and refined.”
Where can I buy it?
Just in time for the holiday season, Alma del Jaguar Tequila Añejo will available at retailers throughout the U.S. for the suggested retail price of $79.99. It’s currently available for pre-order on the brand’s website.
