Introducing Maestro Dobel, the first ever Silver-Aged Tequila.

Let me introduce you to something unheard of before, a silver-aged tequila. The first of its kind. Maestro Dobel is anything but traditional. Similar to blanco tequila in its clear appearance, that’s where the similarities to other tequilas end. On first glance it appears to be just that, a beautifully crafted blanco tequila. Don’t let that fool you. The beautifully crafted bottle hides within it a unique combination of Reposado, Anejo and Extra-Anejo tequilas that are then combined and aged in Balkan oak casks. Following up this aging process, the tequila is then filtered using a proprietary filtering system that results in a clear spirit, without affecting the flavor or complexity of the spirit. The final product is then bottled, numbered and signed by hand.

Upon placing a glass of it under your nose, you’re hit with hints of vanilla, coconut and agave. Taking the first sip of Maestro Dobel I was very impressed. Once you begin tasting it you start to experience notes of vanilla, agave, minor hints of chocolate and are reminded of something resembling a Mexican cream soda if one had ever existed.

While Maestro Dobel retails for $74.99, it is something that should be at least experienced once, whether at a bar or restaurant even if you don’t go right out and purchase a bottle. Maestro Dobel definitely stands alone and defines this new category of silver-aged tequila.

Rating: 9/10

Even the bottle of Maestro Dobel exhudes elegance.
