Alma del Jaguar Reposado Tequila 750ml

Alma del Jaguar is crafted by the Vivanco family, fifth-generation tequileros who maintain one of the largest agave ranches in Los Altos, Jalisco, at elevations exceeding 6,800 feet. The brand was developed in partnership with Sergio Vivanco, master distiller Sergio Cruz, and Adam Fodor, President of the International Tequila Academy, and it channels part of its proceeds toward protecting wild jaguars through organizations like the Northern Jaguar Project.

This reposado is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, with piñas slow cooked for 54 hours in traditional brick ovens to build depth before roller mill extraction. Fermentation uses a proprietary blend of wild yeast and imported Champagne yeast, drawing on iron-rich water from an 800-foot well on the estate, then the spirit is double distilled in copper pot stills. It rests briefly in a combination of American white oak and French oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered by hand at 40% ABV, with no additives.

The nose offers vanilla, banana, honey, caramel, and orange zest. On the palate the tequila is rich with banana and vanilla over cooked agave, oak, and baking spice, finishing long and dry with lingering vanilla, oak, caramel, and roasted agave.
