Maestro Dobel Tequila was created by and named after Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta (Dobel being an acronym formed by the first syllables of Domingo Beckmann Legorreta). Beckmann was the eleventh-generation leader of Jose Cuervo Tequilas, in collaboration with master distillers ("Maestros") Marco Anguiano and Luis Yerenas. It was introduced in 2008.
In 2009, Bloomberg Businessweek named Dobel one of the world's 20 best tasting Tequilas, stating that it "...has the depth and character of the aged spirit without the color." Wine Enthusiast rated it a 93 points in 2011, and it won gold medals at the 2011 and 2013 San Francisco World Spirits competitions, and a silver in 2010.
Since its inception, the Dobel lineup of Tequilas has been solid, with excellent juice at reasonable prices. When we received a chance to try some barrels and select our own, of course we jumped at it. While Cinco de Mayo has already occurred, we are still moving toward the prime Tequila weather and season: Summer! This Single Barrel Diamante will be your perfect Summer sipper and easy companion during the warm months.
This is a blend of Reposado, Anejo and Extra Anejo Tequilas which have been gently filtered giving the Tequila an incredible Diamond Clarity and crispness. This purity combined with the complexity derived from the aged Tequilas makes Maestro Dobel Diamond a completely unique Tequila. This is a hand-crafted product. Every bottle is filled and labeled by hand and individually numbered. The Tequila is produced in small batches and aged in new oak casks from Southern Europe. The agave used is grown eight to ten years and then hand- selected.
Fresh agave and sandy/salty minerality fill the nose. White cocoa, white pepper, white orchard fruits (think reduced pear compote, white peach). Lush mouthfeel, reiterations of the nose in the palate with the minerals and agave repeated, bolstered by notes of milk chocolate, seared caramel, stewed tree fruits. Soft but flavorful finish with sweet agave and cocoa notes echoing around the mouth. Easy sipper, no heat, much lushness: lovely Tequila!
