Maestro Dobel 50 '1970' Extra Anejo Tequila

Made from 12-year estate-grown Blue Weber agave in Jalisco's lowlands (NOM 1122), it ages a minimum of seven years in French oak, then finishes in Amarone barrels from Italy: dried fruits, toasted walnuts, and almonds predominate, with light notes of spicy, fresh cinnamon balancing sweet and bitter.

1970: The Amarone Finish
The final release of the anniversary trilogy goes to Italy — Amarone, the great dried-grape wine of Veneto, lends its dried-fruit depth to seven-year tequila aged entirely in French oak. The result is the most elegant of the three: dried fruit and toasted nuts up front, a whisper of cinnamon, and a long, poised finish. Explore the Maestro Dobel range or shop tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Dried fruits, toasted walnuts, and almonds dominate, per the brand; light spicy notes of fresh cinnamon; a smooth, elegant balance of sweet and bitter through a long finish (per the brand).
How to Enjoy
Neat as the centerpiece pour — ideally tasted alongside the 1968 and 1969 to read how three wine casks bend one tequila in three directions.
