Product Description
Alma del Jaguar Añejo Ruby Wine Cask 750ml is a visually striking and flavor-driven expression that embodies what blackbook curates best: thoughtfully finished spirits that enhance—not overshadow—their foundation. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave and aged to Añejo, this tequila is finished in Ruby wine casks, imparting a deep, fruit-forward elegance and subtle tannic structure.
The Ruby wine finish brings notes of red berries, dark fruit, and soft sweetness that integrate seamlessly with the tequila’s core of cooked agave and oak. Rather than dominating the profile, the wine influence adds depth, color, and a refined roundness—creating a sipping tequila that feels luxurious, layered, and intentionally crafted.
This is a bottle selected by blackbook for drinkers who appreciate nuance and balance, and for those who seek out barrel-finished tequilas that feel expressive rather than experimental.
