Bio: Jaime Salas – Milagro Tequila Ambassador, Eastern United States
Combining passion, charisma and originality with an unrivalled knowledge and reverence for the art of Tequila, Milagro Ambassador Jaime Salas is the perfect embodiment of modern day Mexico. Having grown up dividing his time between the creative freedom of San Francisco and Mexico's tequila producing region of Jalisco, Jaime developed an expert knowledge and unique perspective on the country's most famous export, which has informed every aspect of his career since.
What started as an appreciation rapidly became an obsession. Over the course of his regular travels to Mexico, Jaime developedan evolved knowledge of Tequila, deepening his relationship with the spirit and accruing an encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of it: from the growing of the agave to the methods of production to the end product. Throwing himself into the subject, Jaime sampledcountless tequilas along his journey to expertise, as well as a refined palate and a remarkable collection of more than 300 unique and hard-to-find bottles.
With such singular knowledge, it was only natural that Jaime would devote his career to Tequila, and he soon married his expertise and magnetic personality with his passion for education as a brand ambassador for several prominent tequilas, where he developed his skill for engaging trade and consumer audiences. A true connoisseur and advocate for Tequila, Jaime now brings hisenthusiasm and experience to his role as Ambassador for Milagro Tequila, where his talents are allowed to shine. Whether it'sdeveloping cocktails and custom drinks or encouraging people to explore the unique variants of Milagro, his passion and demeanor helps demystify the world of tequila and encourages people toredefine their expectations of this unique spirit and explore the world of Tequila in greater detail.
Jaime is also heavily involved with the United States Bartender's Guild and has recently completed phase two ofCertificado de Catador Entrenado given by world renowned Master Tequilera Ana Maria Romero. His tequila and mixologyexpertise has been consistently featured prominently at some of the country's top events, including Tales of the Cocktail and Aspen Food & Wine, as well as in a range of national print and broadcast media. He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York, sharing his apartment with hundreds of bottles of Tequila and an equally large collection of vintage sneakers.
