Maestro Dobel Añejo is a 100% blue agave tequila from Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is matured in new American white oak barrels that are roasted to bring out flavour, giving a wood-forward profile that the house likens to a single malt whisky.
Several añejo vintages are blended together for a deeper, more complex tequila, with layers of roasted oak, caramel, vanilla and spice over cooked agave.
A rich, warming añejo made for slow sipping.
Maestro Dobel is named for Juan Domingo Beckmann, of the family behind one of Mexico's oldest tequila houses, and the range is known for its blending of different aged tequilas. In the Añejo that blending gives a rounder, more layered spirit than a single age could on its own. Añejo tequila must spend at least a year in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, and the use of fresh, roasted barrels here gives this one more colour and wood influence than many in its class, which makes it a natural choice for whisky drinkers exploring tequila.
Añejo tequila is aged between one and three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, long enough to add colour, sweetness and spice while keeping the character of the agave, which makes it a natural sipping tequila.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
