12 Drinks of Christmas!: Day 5 Brings on New Drinks!! Break Out the Glasses and Maestro Dobel Diamond Tequila!

It’s not often I become enchanted by a tequila– typically there is a bite and sometimes that bite “bites back” harder than I would like. Recently I was introduced to a real gentleman of a tequla: smooth, elegant and whispers rather than shouts– which makes it a super smooth, even sexy drink. I considered it to be a sipping tequila –which I “never” sip and now found that it does so much more than just be a sipping spirit.

There are the 4 C’s that show off the best of a spirit– particularly one that is the epitome of the category. much like the c’s of the best of the diamond world.
Complexity: The incredible complexity of Maestro Dobel stems from the incredible array of differently aged tequilas in the blend: Reposado (rested 15 months), Anejo (rested 24 months), and Extra-Anejo (rested for 36 months).
Craftsmanship: Juan Dobel has enlisted the Tequila Maestros – Marco Anguiano and Luis Yerenas – to create the special blend for Dobel. Every step of the process is crafted by hand – from the harvesting of the agave to the blending of the tequilas.
Crispness: The agave selected for Maestro Dobel grows in the volcanic lowlands of the Jalisco region, producing a tequila with lighter herbal and citrus aromas. This hand-selected agave, combined with the tequila’s double distillation in post stills creates an exceptionally crisp tequila.
Clarity: The proprietary filtering system used by Maestro Dobel gently expels congeners and colors from the tequila, producing the “Diamond Clarity” without having an affect on aroma, flavor or complexity.
