Alma del Jaguar Reposado Tequila

Alma del Jaguar Reposado Tequila is the barrel-rested expression from McCauley Williams's conservation-driven brand, which funds wild jaguar protection through the Northern Jaguar Project and partner groups. It is produced at NOM 1414, Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados in Arandas, Los Altos de Jalisco, by master distiller Sergio Cruz, using estate Blue Weber agave grown at roughly 6,800 feet in iron-rich red soil. The agave is cooked in brick ovens, roller-milled, fermented in open-air tanks with wild and Champagne yeasts, and double distilled in small copper pot stills. The reposado then rests two months in American white oak barrels from Tennessee and Kentucky followed by one more month in French oak that previously held California chardonnay, a touch that keeps the agave forward while adding roundness. It is bottled certified additive-free at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml recycled-glass bottle. Tastings.com rated it 90 points, Gold Medal, calling it spicy and complex: caramel, wax, overripe banana and soil on the nose, bold cooked agave with maple oatmeal, sweet orange, nougat and fig on the medium-full palate, and a medium-long finish. InsideHook adds vanilla and oak spice over earthy agave, fruit and minerality. Sip neat or build a top-shelf paloma.
