Process & Profile
Alma Del Jaguar Tequila Blanco is meticulously crafted at the esteemed Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados distillery (NOM 1414) in the highlands of Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico. Each bottle is produced from
100% blue Weber agave, grown at an elevation of approximately 6,800 feet, which imparts a distinct terroir-driven character. The agave piñas are slow-cooked for 54 hours in traditional brick ovens, then gently pressed using a single pass through a roller mill. Fermentation harnesses a dual-yeast approach: 80% wild yeast and 20% Champagne yeast, both in open-air tanks while classical music plays in the background. The spirit is then
double-distilled in copper pot stills and bottled unfiltered by hand, preserving its full flavor and mouthfeel.
