Alma Del Jaguar Tequila
Additive-free highland tequila from Arandas, poured in Commack since day one.
The story behind Alma Del Jaguar
Alma Del Jaguar comes out of Arandas, in Jalisco's Los Altos highlands, at NOM 1414 under Master Distiller Sergio Cruz. Founder McCauley Williams launched the brand in 2022, inspired by his uncle Rick, a co-founder of the Northern Jaguar Project, and a share of proceeds still goes to protecting wild jaguars. The agave is single-estate Blue Weber grown above 6,800 feet.
Piñas slow-cook 54 hours in brick ovens, ferment on a dual yeast blend, 80 percent wild and 20 percent French Champagne yeast, in open-air tanks where classical music plays to the yeast. Double copper pot distillation, bottled unfiltered by hand, 100 percent recycled Mexican glass. We have poured these since they reached the States in 2023.
