Alma del Jaguar Tequila Añejo - Aged in Ruby Port Casks
Experience a one-of-a-kind spirit with the Alma del Jaguar Tequila Añejo, a highly exclusive release from the "Barricas" series. This expression is a testament to the art of innovative cask finishing, aged in Spanish oak barrels that once held rich Ruby Port from the sun-drenched Douro Valley of northern Portugal.
This is a rare opportunity, as this limited edition has only 192 cases produced, making it a truly sought-after collector's item.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose is an inviting and complex bouquet. It opens with the sweet and jammy scent of ripe red and black fruits, reminiscent of plump berries and stone fruit. This fruit-forward character is balanced by a subtle toastiness from the oak, along with hints of warm, nutty undertones.
- Palate: On the palate, this Añejo delivers a beautifully balanced and velvety experience. The cooked agave provides a solid foundation, which is layered with decadent flavors of rich chocolate and sweet buttery caramel. The notes of red fruit, berries, and jam are prominent and well-integrated, complementing a delightful medley of almond and various other nuts.
- Finish: The finish is long, warm, and sophisticated. It concludes with a satisfying warmth from the toasted oak, which lingers alongside the gentle sweetness of the Port wine's fruity and caramel notes. This unique profile offers a perfect harmony between the robust spirit of Mexico and the elegant fortified wine of Portugal.
With its exceptionally small production run, this Tequila Añejo is a unique expression that honors both tradition and innovation. It's a must-have for connoisseurs and collectors seeking a truly distinct and memorable spirit.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
