About: Our production partners, the Vivanco family, are 5th generation tequileros who have been growing agave in Los Altos de Jalisco since 1929. Alma del Jaguar is crafted using traditional methods designed to highlight natural flavors of the agave plant and the terroir of the Los Altos (highlands) region. Alma del Jaguar is an assemblage or blend of two unique tequilas, one that is made using wild yeast and one that is made using Champagne yeast imported from France.
Alma del Jaguar was created to help protect wild jaguars in Mexico and the U.S. Jaguars are the largest big cat of the Western Hemisphere, ranging from Arizona to Argentina. Yet today, jaguars are endangered with over 50% of their natural range destroyed.
As a U.S.-based tequila company with production partners in Mexico, we feel compelled to dedicate our efforts to the jaguar populations closest to us and the distillery. Therefore, we donate directly to conservation organizations like the Northern Jaguar Project who manage the
Northern Jaguar Reserve in Sonora, Mexico and help protect the northernmost population of wild jaguars in the world.
