Enelalma is a luxury sipping tequila with no additives made in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico. The brand celebrates the rich legacy, heritage and shared traditions between indigenous and African-American cultures — both enslaved on their own lands who overcame historic adversity. Enelalma is the first United States export tequila from Peña Blanca distillery (NOM 1639). The blanco expression is the first production led by Master Distiller Oscar Vazquez, formerly of G4 Tequila and the inaugural brand for owner Melanie Shelby. Enelalma means in the soul, because we believe tequila is a spiritual experience. Join our journey of discovery at www.enelalmatequila.com.
