Alma del Jaguar Anejo Barricas Series Vino de Naranja Cask Tequila
Alma del Jaguar pushes the boundaries of aged tequila with this extraordinary cask-finished expression, resting in American oak barrels that once held Vino de Naranja, a sweet Spanish white wine macerated with orange peels from Andalusia.
Part of the Alma del Jaguar Barricas Series, a collection dedicated to exploring how distinctive cask finishes transform premium tequila, this anejo begins with slow-cooked highland agave before absorbing the sun-drenched character of southern Spain's winemaking tradition.
- Nose: Warm cooked agave opens alongside bright orange zest, candied citrus peel, and gentle vanilla from the American white oak.
- Palate: Rich and layered, with sweet roasted agave, orange marmalade, toasted oak, and a whisper of warm spice that reflects the wine's Andalusian origins.
- Finish: Long and citrus-kissed, with lingering notes of dried orange, soft oak, and the clean sweetness of well-aged agave.
The bold yet citrus-driven profile makes this an exceptional sipping tequila neat or on the rocks, and it shines in a crafted Old Fashioned or an Oaxacan-style cocktail where the orange notes can take center stage.
Best enjoyed neat in a wide-mouthed glass to fully open the aromatics; this expression is a blue agave anejo finished in ex-Vino de Naranja casks, bottled as part of the limited Barricas Series from Alma del Jaguar.
