For the first of the trio of Maestro Dobel 50 bottles, the studio engaged third-generation artisan Pablo Pérez Martínez, from Xalitla, Mexico, to create the intricately hand painted bottle stopper on the extra anejo cristalino tequila.

The hand painted stopper was designed in the style of Amate, a Mexican folk-art craft that dates back to the 1950s when it was stylised on bark paper. The design illustrates how tequila is produced from the agave plant which is at the heart of Maestro Dobel Tequila's craft.

“At Onora, we find continued inspiration and possibility in the passage of time,

Through this collaboration, we hope to honor legacy stories and traditional crafts by giving them a brand new life, just as Maestro Dobel does in the creation of its tequilas.”   

- Maggie Galton and Maria Eladia Hagerman, founders of Onora

Maestro Dobel 50 is an extra anejo cristalino tequila from the brand known for being one of the pioneers of the exceptionally popular cristalino activated charcoal production technique. Unlike previous expressions, the Maestro Dobel 50's extra anejo tequilas hail from family reserves in both Eastern European and American oak barrels, which are then married as a blend.

It is said to be "silky, voluminous tequila with notes of fig, quince, date, pineapple and pumpkin, and then hints of cinnamon, vanilla and clove emerge, giving way to a long and incredibly smooth finish."

It is bottled at 40% ABV with less than 200 bottles produced, available at $250 USD.

Kanpai!
