✅ Manufacturing Process of Don Julio Alma Miel

While Don Julio doesn’t disclose every detail of this expression’s process publicly, the production likely follows high-end, small-batch methods that blend traditional tequila craftsmanship with innovative finishing. Here’s a breakdown based on known practices from the Don Julio distillery (La Primavera) and characteristics of this expression:

1. Agave Harvesting (Jima)

• Mature Blue Weber agave plants, aged 6–7 years, are hand-harvested in the Highlands of Jalisco.

• The piñas (hearts of the agave) are trimmed to remove bitterness and expose sweet core sugars.

2. Cooking

• Agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional ovens (hornos) for 72 hours.

• This caramelizes the natural sugars and develops rich flavors.

3. Extraction

• Cooked agave is crushed to extract the sweet agave juice (mosto).

• Fiber and juice are separated for fermentation.

4. Fermentation

• The extracted juice is fermented naturally using proprietary yeast strains.

• This stage converts sugars into alcohol while developing fruity and floral notes.

5. Distillation

• The fermented mosto is distilled twice in stainless steel pot stills, creating a smooth, clean Blanco base.

6. Blending (Joven Style)

• The tequila is blended with aged Añejo tequila to add depth, complexity, and smooth oak notes.

• A subtle infusion of wild honey is added to enhance sweetness and roundness.

7. Finishing in Oak Barrels

• The blend is briefly finished in oak barrels to integrate flavors and add a warm, mellow character.

8. Bottling

• After aging and blending, the tequila is filtered and bottled at 40% ABV in Don Julio’s signature 750ml bottle with a luxurious design.

🌟 What Makes Alma Miel Unique?

• Joven Tequila with Honey – Rare style combining the vibrancy of Blanco with the depth of Añejo and a touch of natural sweetness.

• Smooth & Luxurious – Designed to compete with top-shelf sipping spirits like aged rum or premium Scotch.

• Crafted by Legacy – A tribute to Don Julio González’s legacy, pushing innovation in the tequila world.
