The Maestri Family's Oak-Aged Tequila
Casa Maestri is the house of Celia and Michael Maestri, whose combined experience the brand puts at 72 years, distilled at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. The make deliberately mixes old and new: part of the agave is baked in traditional stone-masonry ovens and part in autoclaves, the cooked agave is roller-milled with deep well water, fermented in stainless steel and double distilled. The anejo then rests in American white oak until the barrel's vanilla and spice settle into the agave without covering it.

How to Enjoy
