The Beckmann family dominates the tequila market Jose CuervoA brand that has held first place in terms of sales for many years. The family spirit of the family also has Double maestroA tequila brand which published the first expression of Cristalino in 2008 called Dobel Diamante. Now Dobel launches the new Grande Mantestros collection with an expensive limited edition tequila completed mezcal Barrels, who claims to be another first for industry.
The inaugural outing, the edition of Francisco Toledo, is named after the late Mexican artist Francisco 'El Maestro' Toledo. The liquid is an additional tequila añejo based on agave which is at least seven years before the harvest, cooked in stone ovens for 48 hours and aged for at least three years in new barrels of American oak (not the typical Bourbon barrels), followed by a secondary finish of up to four months in barrels of American oak. We have obtained a first sample of the tequila to try, and it is certainly one of the best versions of Dobel. The mouth leads with sweet and subtle smoke, followed by notes of ripe fruit, salty barbecue, spices with black pepper, vanilla and charred oak. There is a pretty bitter character Amaro at this tequila, a surprising but welcome and very unique tasting note.
According to Double The founder and manufacturer of tequila of 11th generation Juan Dobel, the idea of this collaboration appeared for the first time in 2016. “Francisco and I shared a deep passion for Mexico and its culture, which we reflected by art and tequila,” he said in a statement. “El Maestro and I are considering a time of timeless art, which would transcend conventional expectations and become an object that embodied the artistic principles of Toledo and exceptional crafts while presenting Dobel's commitment to the excellence and innovation of the Tequila.” To this end, Toledo designed the frosted bottle in which the liquid enters and a packaging which includes a stone pedestal and a bottle top and a “rotary wooden base in four cubes”.
However, this tequila can be difficult to get their hands, because only 281 bottles of Maestros de Dobel Tequila Grandes: the Francisco Toledo edition is being published. And only 15 of them come to specialized retailers in the United States with a price of $ 5,000 each. One of these bottles will also be auction until April 29, with part of the profits that will benefit the friends of Iago (the Graphic Arts Institute of Oaxaca) and the manual Álvarez Bravo AC Photographic Center.
