The agave comes from Jalisco's Los Altos and Tequila Valley; production details on Agave Matchmaker list stone/brick-oven and autoclave cooking, roller-mill extraction, deep well water, stainless-steel fermentation, and double distillation in stainless pot stills.

Blanco, Straight From the Still to the Flask
Casa Maestri's signature move is the flask — "one of the first tequilas sold ready to drink in flask format," per retailer copy — and the blanco is where it makes the most sense: unaged, it carries the agave straight through. The Liquor Barn's notes describe fresh cooked agave leading on the aroma with bright citrus and subtle vanilla, deeper notes of aloe vera, geranium, eucalyptus, and a faint roasted-vegetable sweetness; a velvety, clean palate of vibrant cooked agave and lime citrus with white pepper mid-palate; and a surprisingly long finish of cooked agave, cracked black pepper, drying to mineral and herbal notes. The distillery team is reportedly 90% women, and the "1965" on the flask honors the family's legacy. A blanco this clean begs for a Ranch Water, a proper Margarita, or a slow neat pour.
