When you grow up making tequila, you inherit respect for the agave and the earth that nourishes it. Dedication and pride in the meticulous distilling process are topped only by the pleasure you find in sharing your tequila. Maestro Dobel® was created under these principles, by a family of true tequila enthusiasts, who, throughout more than ten generations, managed to perfect the art of harvest, distillation and aging, resulting in one of the most award-winning tequilas in the world. A quarter of a millennium making tequila means a tireless quest to achieve liquid perfection; it means effort, with long days under the sun in fields, working arduously with the agave plants to curate the best tequila possible. In the process, secrets, techniques and learnings are passed down from one generation to the next, ensuring the mastery that fills each bottle of Maestro Dobel®. Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our founder, Juan Dobel, by presenting a tequila that enhances what it means to be a Maestro Tequilero with the greatest virtue: that of sharing. All of the agaves used to make Maestro Dobel® 50 are sourced from a single Dobel family owned estate at the foot of the volcano, in the lowlands town of Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. To the eye, this clear Cristalino Extra Añejo sparkles with steel and platinum reflections. The quality of the liquid is evident from the long drops that collect to form pronounced legs on the sides of the glass. On the nose, a compelling marriage of caramel, honey, cooked agave and dried fruit such as fig or quince emerges, with hints of chocolate, tobacco and sweets that make for an enticing, aromatic scent. Some herbal notes add a touch of freshness and lightness with a hint of lingering vanilla and nutmeg on the finish. The voluminous, rich taste of Maestro Dobel® 50 fills the palate with a silky mouth-feel that reflects the quality of the liquid achieved through copper pot distillation. Notes of fig, quince, date, pineapple and pumpkin, together with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and clove, emerge with each sip ultimately giving way to a long and pleasant finish. The smooth, silky sensation of the liquid is the result of an innovative, proprietary refinement process that prevents the bitter notes of the barrel from impeding on the elegance of the aromas. The final filtration process also eliminates color, resulting in a perfectly clear, rule-defying Cristalino Extra Añejo.
