As aficionados with a penchant for experimentation and innovation, we are thrilled to share a groundbreaking event in the world of tequila. Our friends at Alma del Jaguar, in collaboration with the illustrious Sergio Cruz, are crafting an unprecedented añejo tequila using brand-new Japanese mizunara oak barrels—a rarity in tequila production due to their considerable cost, which is 20 times that of traditional American oak barrels.
A New Frontier in Tequila Aging
Mizunara oak is revered for its unique properties and has long been used in Japanese whisky-making. Its introduction into the tequila world marks a significant evolution in flavor exploration. Alma del Jaguar's bold step into this territory promises to redefine añejo expectations, paving the way for a fresh and innovative tasting experience.
Tasting Notes: A Journey Beyond Tradition
We had the exclusive privilege to sample this in-process añejo, and the flavors we encountered were truly unparalleled. This tequila is light and crisp, offering a departure from the heavier profiles typically associated with añejos. Its peppery undertones are artfully balanced by an unexpected ginger note, delivering a delightful, zesty twist that excites the palate.
The nuanced mizunara influence infuses the tequila with subtle hints, resulting in a sophisticated tasting experience that promises to intrigue both seasoned aficionados and curious newcomers alike. This is not just a drink; it is an exploration of flavor and an homage to craftsmanship.
