Maestro Dobel's expert Tequila distiller, on a quest to replicate the Tequila taste from the 17th century, utilizes mesquite wood during the production of this Silver Tequila. This created an extraordinary balance between smoky notes and agave they are calling Humito-- perfect to sip neat but excellent in mixology, as well. Holden came up with a "Piña con Chile" (pineapple with chile) cocktail that utilizes the smokiness quite nicely:
Piña con Chile
1 oz. Maestro Dobel Humito Silver Tequila
1/2 oz. Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur
Pineapple gum syrup (to taste)
Mineral water / Club Soda (1 to 3 oz., to taste)
Assemble in rocks glass with desired amount of ice, garnish with pineapple chunk (dusted with chile powder if adventurous).

The nose is notably smoky and complex, with forward notes of encino and mesquite wood and fruity floral tones. Perfectly balanced sensations of buttery caramel, cooked agave, olive and dried fruit. Tasting reveal a delicate and satisfying bouquet of sweet caramel flavors, brown spices, maple and honey top notes layered with the essence of fresh cut mesquite wood. The finish lingers on the palate with hints of roasted nut and vanilla.
