Alma del Jaguar Reposado Pear Wood Finish 750ml

Alma del Jaguar Reposado Pear Wood Cask, part of the brand's Barricas Series, takes the distillery's highland Jalisco reposado and rests it further in casks made from pear wood rather than the usual oak. That unusual wood brings a softer, fruitier sweetness to the front of the palate, layered over the reposado's baseline of cooked agave and light vanilla. The finish stays smooth and rounded, with less of the char and spice you'd get from a bourbon-barrel finish. It's a good pick for tequila drinkers who want to taste what a less common finishing wood does to an already easy-drinking reposado.

How to drink Alma del Jaguar Reposado Pear Wood Cask

Sip it neat in a copita to catch the pear wood's fruitiness before it mixes with anything else, or serve over one rock if you want a slightly cooler pour. Skip the salt and lime, this one's built to be tasted straight.
