This refined añejo showcases layered agave sweetness, aromatic spice, and delicate oak complexity—crafted for collectors and sipping tequila enthusiasts.
Process & Profile
Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, this tequila is traditionally cooked, fermented, and distilled before aging as an añejo in oak barrels. It is then finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks, a rare and highly prized wood known for imparting subtle spice, incense, and sandalwood-like aromatics. Bottled at a robust proof, the Barricas Series highlights innovation while honoring agave-forward tradition.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals cooked agave, vanilla, light coconut, and aromatic spice, followed by hints of incense, sandalwood, and soft oak. On the palate, flavors of roasted agave, honey, white pepper, gentle baking spice, and toasted oak unfold smoothly with nuanced Mizunara character. The finish is long and elegant, lingering with agave sweetness, soft spice, and exotic oak notes.
What Makes It Special
This release stands out for its Mizunara cask finish, an exceptionally rare choice in tequila maturation that adds delicate aromatics and complexity without overshadowing the agave core. As part of Alma del Jaguar’s Barricas Series, it reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and creative barrel innovation.
