Maestro Dobel tequila is aged for a minimum of three years, allowing it to develop a rich and complex flavor profile. The aging process takes place in American and Eastern European oak barrels, which impart unique characteristics to the tequila.
The use of Blue Weber Agaves in the production of Maestro Dobel adds to the quality and depth of the aging process. These agaves are carefully grown and sourced from a single family-owned estate in the lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This ensures that only the finest agaves are used in the production of the tequila.
The choice of oak barrels for aging also plays a significant role in the final product. American oak barrels are known for imparting flavors of vanilla, caramel, and spice, while Eastern European oak barrels can add more subtle and earthy notes. The combination of these barrels allows for a well-rounded and balanced tequila.
I personally had the opportunity to taste Maestro Dobel 50 Cristalino, and I was impressed by the depth and complexity it exhibited. The aging process had mellowed the tequila, smoothing out any harsh edges and allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
During the aging process, the tequila undergoes a transformation as it interacts with the wood of the barrels. The oak imparts its own characteristics to the tequila, while the tequila itself takes on flavors from the barrel, such as the vanilla and caramel notes mentioned earlier.
The length of the aging process is crucial in developing the desired flavors and aromas in the tequila. Three years is a significant amount of time for the tequila to mature, allowing it to develop a smoothness and complexity that sets it apart from younger, less aged tequilas.
