Casa Maestri Caballo Azul Extra Anejo Tequila
Casa Maestri Caballo Azul Extra Anejo Tequila is a 750mL extra anejo bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) — and the bottle is half the story: a glossy cobalt-blue horse sculpture, rearing over its base and fitted with a miniature saddle and stirrups made from real leather. Produced by Casa Maestri at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (NOM 1438) in Tequila, Jalisco, it is an aged 100% agave tequila presented as a showpiece decanter. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor.

A Decanter First, a Tequila Always
Casa Maestri was founded by Michael and Celia Maestri, who moved to Tequila, Jalisco to build their distillery, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila. The Caballo Azul bottling is the house's showpiece: the tequila — distilled from Tequilana Weber agave and rested in American white oak — is presented inside a full-body horse sculpture in deep cobalt blue, complete with a tiny leather saddle, stirrups and lead. It is the kind of bottle that stays on the shelf as an object long after the last pour. Browse the house on the Casa Maestri vendor page, and see more aged expressions in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Long oak rest gives extra anejo its register: cooked agave wrapped in vanilla, caramel and toasted oak, with the darker, resinous depth that years in American white oak bring to highland-and-valley agave. Expect a full, rounded sip built for slow drinking rather than mixing — the profile of an aged sipping tequila in a collector's vessel.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat in a stemmed tequila glass or a small snifter and give it air — aged tequila at this level opens like a fine cognac. Keep it away from mixers; if you want a second expression for cocktails, the blanco and reposado shelves of our tequila collection are the place to look.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Caballo Azul bottle made of?
It is an opaque cobalt-blue horse-shaped decanter — a full-body rearing horse sculpture fitted with a miniature saddle and stirrups made from real leather. Distributor descriptions variously call the material clay or ceramic sculpture; either way it is a solid showpiece vessel, not a standard glass bottle, which is why it ships at a decanter weight.
Who makes Caballo Azul tequila?
Casa Maestri, at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (NOM 1438) in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico — the distillery founded by Michael and Celia Maestri.
How long is Caballo Azul Extra Anejo aged?
Casa Maestri does not publish a specific aging time for this bottling. Extra anejo as a class requires a minimum of three years in oak by Mexican regulation; beyond the class definition, no brand-stated figure exists, so none is printed here.
