Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, Don Julio Alma Miel Tequila Joven is a blend of blanco tequila distilled with oven-roasted agave honey and añejo tequila aged for at least 14 months, finished in Crémant du Limoux wine casks from France.
An aromatic tinge of grapefruit zest adds some contrast to a roasty caramel popcorn flavor and a sweet sprinkle of cinnamon, with minimal heat in the finish.
Cautious first sips are heavy on the greenery, but time in glass and some patience help to reveal the spirit’s sweeter side. Alma Miel smells like a blanco but it drinks much more like an anejo, melding green agave with notes of vanilla custard, coconut, and lime leaf.
