Casa Maestri Rum Flask
Casa Maestri Rum Flask is an 80 proof (40% ABV), 750mL golden rum in the brand's signature flask bottle — the "1965 Flask Limited Edition Rum" line from Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (NOM 1438), the Jalisco house founded by Michael and Celia V. Maestri. Crafted from sugarcane and aged in oak barrels for its deep golden color, it pours with a light golden hue: vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruit (pineapple, mango) on the aroma, sweet molasses, toasted oak, and warm spices on the palate, and a long warming finish with dark chocolate and dried fruit (retailer-sourced notes). It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Tequila House's Rum, in a Flask
Casa Maestri is best known for its tequilas in stainless-steel flasks, and the rum follows the same playbook: a distinctive flat flask-style bottle that stands out on the shelf. The liquid inside is a smooth, velvety golden rum — sweet molasses and warm spices over toasted oak, finishing with dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a subtle smokiness. It mixes into a serious rum Old Fashioned or a Cuba Libre that leans on the molasses character, and it sips clean neat. One caveat for the curious: the rum's actual distillation and aging location is not documented in any source found — two spec tables say Mexico while one retailer's marketing copy says the Caribbean, and the brand's own house is in Jalisco.
