Dobel Tequila is made by Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta, who is the 11th generation of his family to produce tequila. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Dobel Tequila firsthand and learning about the meticulous process that goes into its production.
Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta is deeply involved in every step of the tequila-making process, from the cultivation of the agave plants to the bottling and distribution of the final product. This level of personal involvement sets Dobel Tequila apart from other brands and ensures that the highest quality standards are maintained throughout.
The journey of making Dobel Tequila begins with the selection and cultivation of the agave plants. Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta carefully chooses the agave plants that will be used in the production of Dobel Tequila. The agave plants are grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, where the climate and soil conditions are optimal for producing premium tequila.
Once the agave plants have reached maturity, they are harvested by hand. This traditional method allows for careful selection of the best plants and ensures that only the highest quality agave is used in the production of Dobel Tequila.
After harvesting, the agave hearts, or piñas, are roasted in traditional brick ovens. This slow-roasting process brings out the unique flavors and aromas of the agave, which will later be imparted to the tequila. The roasted piñas are then crushed to extract the sweet juices, which are fermented and distilled to create the tequila.
The distillation process is another area where Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta's expertise shines through. Dobel Tequila is double-distilled to ensure purity and smoothness. The first distillation removes impurities and creates a high-proof spirit, which is then redistilled to achieve the desired flavor profile.
After distillation, the tequila is aged in American white oak barrels. This aging process adds complexity and depth to the tequila, allowing it to develop rich flavors and aromas over time. Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta carefully monitors the aging process to ensure that each batch of Dobel Tequila reaches its full potential.
Once the tequila has aged to perfection, it is carefully blended to create the unique flavor profile of Dobel Tequila. Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta uses his expertise as a sommelier and brewer to balance the flavors and create a tequila that is smooth, complex, and enjoyable to drink.
The tequila is bottled and prepared for distribution. Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta takes great pride in ensuring that each bottle of Dobel Tequila is beautifully presented, reflecting the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into its production.
Dobel Tequila is made by Juan Domingo Beckmann Legorreta, a passionate and dedicated tequila producer who oversees every step of its production personally. His expertise as a sommelier and brewer shines through in the careful selection of agave, the meticulous distillation process, and the blending of flavors to create a tequila that is truly exceptional.
