Maestro Dobel Tahona Blanco Tequila
40.5% ABV (81 proof) | 750mL | Unaged blanco | Tahona-crushed organic 100% Blue Weber agave — Maestro Dobel Tahona Blanco is the first Dobel expression ever crushed with a volcanic-stone tahona wheel: masonry-oven-cooked organic agave hearts, slowly pressed the traditional way instead of Dobel's usual roller mill. The agave is 100% organic Blue Weber from a single Tequila-valley estate, each plant matured more than six years. Just three ingredients — organic agave, water, and wild ambient yeast — fermented 6–7 days with both juice and fibers in wood-lined open-air vats, then double-distilled in small copper pot stills. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The tahona changes everything about the texture: slower, gentler extraction gives a rounder, silkier blanco with deep cooked-agave character — honeyed agave, white pepper, citrus blossom, and a soft mineral finish — while the "nothing added" philosophy keeps it honest. Among blanco tequilas at this price, few combine organic single-estate agave with true tahona production. Launched in the US in late 2025 at $47.99 SRP, with all profits donated to community and education programs in the town of Tequila, Mexico.
Tasting notes
Nose: sweet cooked agave, orange blossom, wet stone, white pepper. Palate: honeyed agave and citrus zest, soft vanilla, a round oily mouthfeel from the tahona crush. Finish: clean and mineral — lingering agave sweetness, gentle pepper warmth.
