From 12-year estate-grown Blue Weber agave in Jalisco's lowlands (NOM 1122), it ages a minimum of seven years in both American and French oak, then finishes in Sauternes barrels from Bordeaux: soft and velvety, with peach, ripe red apple, prune, and banana woven through toasted wood, walnut, butter, and honey.

1969: The Sauternes Finish
Where 1968 leaned on Armagnac, the 1969 edition turns to Bordeaux — Sauternes barrels lend a dessert-wine softness that makes this the most velvety of the series. Seven years in oak built the structure; the Sauternes finish wrote the fruit. See more from Maestro Dobel or browse the tequila collection at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Fruity and complex — peach, ripe red apple, prune, and banana on the nose and palate, layered with toasted wood, walnut, butter, and honey; a perfectly balanced, warming pour with a very long finish (per the brand).
How to Enjoy
Neat, slightly below room temperature, in a tulip glass — give it time to open. A slow, contemplative pour for a special occasion.
