Alma del Jaguar Reposado Tequila is a testament to both exceptional tequila craftsmanship and a commitment to wildlife conservation. Crafted at the esteemed Feliciano Vivanco Distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, this reposado honors the tradition of NOM 1414, a distillery with roots stretching back to 1929.
This tequila begins with 100% sustainably farmed, hand-harvested highland blue Weber agave. The agave is cooked in stone and brick ovens, then milled using a roller-mill, ensuring only the purest first-press free run agave juice is used. A unique "Mozart Method" fermentation process involves adding agave fibers back to open-air stainless steel tanks, while classical music plays, encouraging the yeast to thrive. Two distinct yeast strains, wild and Champagne, are employed in separate batches, creating complementary flavor profiles.
Double distillation in hand-crafted Mexican copper pot stills precedes a maturation period of two months in American White Oak and one month in French Oak. The resulting tequila, bottled unfiltered by hand, showcases notes of vanilla, banana, honey, and caramel on the nose, followed by a palate of cooked agave, oak, and baking spice. A long, dry finish echoes these notes, leaving a lasting impression. Furthermore, this tequila supports the Northern Jaguar Project, a vital conservation effort.
