Mizunara, which means “water oak,” has slim twisted branches and is more porous than other oak species, making it far more difficult to cooper — and prized for the exotic spice and incense character it gives aged spirits. It is the flagship cask of the Barricas series; the other two finishes are the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alma-del-jaguar-barricas-oloroso-sherry-cask-anejo-tequila\"\u003eOloroso Sherry Cask Anejo\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alma-del-jaguar-barricas-pear-wood-cask-anejo-tequila\"\u003ePear Wood Cask Anejo\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Barricas Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarricas is Alma del Jaguar's cask series, built to showcase the unique profiles created by different cask finishes on the same highland añejo.

It is double distilled in copper pot stills with deep well water drawn from 244 meters, then matured for 22 months. Alma del Jaguar was created to help protect wild jaguars in Mexico and the United States, and a share of proceeds supports conservation groups such as the Northern Jaguar Project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Mizunara oak?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA rare Japanese oak (Quercus mongolica) known as “water oak.” Its twisted growth and porous grain make it difficult to cooper into casks, and it lends distinctive sandalwood and incense notes to spirits aged in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Mizunara Cask Anejo aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e22 months, spent exclusively in Mizunara oak casks from Japan, per the producer's production notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I serve it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat, in a stemmed tasting glass, at room temperature — the 44% ABV (88 proof) carries the cask aromatics without needing water or ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma del Jaguar Barricas Mizunara Cask Anejo Tequila is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor — order today for pickup or delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alma del Jaguar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67992728371243,"sku":"DM17509L","price":158.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1277\/3667\/files\/alma-del-jaguar-barricas-mizunara-750ml.jpg?v=1792784804","url":"https:\/\/www.delmesaliquor.com\/products\/alma-del-jaguar-barricas-mizunara-cask-anejo-tequila","provider":"Del Mesa Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
