For those new to this brand, Almave is the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic Blue agave-based spirit. It comes from the seven-time Formula One racing champion, agave expert, Casa Lumbre co-founder, and master distiller Iván Saldaña.

Almave doesn’t make just one non-alcoholic agave-based spirit; it makes two. They are Almave Ámbar Distilled Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit, which was crafted for sipping neat, and Almave Blanco Distilled Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit, which was created specifically for mixing.

According to the brand, Almave Ámbar Blue Agave Spirit is known for its complex roasted agave, caramel, and toasted wood flavors. Almave Blanco Blue Agave Spirit is known for its “balanced sweetness and acidity perfect for mixing.”

“There’s a huge appetite for quality alternatives for those times when people don’t want to drink alcohol but also don’t want to compromise on flavor, which is why it was important that our product includes agave to reflect the taste of conventional tequila,” Hamilton said in a press release. “I think it tastes amazing, and what we have created is unlike anything else on the market, so I can’t wait to see what you all think.”

A spirit style informed by the West
Whiskey

The American whiskey landscape is changing and it's changing for the better. Whereas states like Kentucky and Tennessee used to be the only shows in town, these days, increasingly, more distillers from other corners of the American whiskey map are entering the game. If there's one state that's showcasing where this movement is all headed, it might just be Colorado.

There, producers are sourcing local grains from nearby farms and crafting something distinctly Coloradan. They are taking advantage of all the things that make Colorado terroir special—the climate, the elevation, the soils. And the results are bringing delightful new flavors to the American whiskey flavor wheel.
