Maestro Dobel Humito Smoked Silver Tequila

Humito is the first smoked tequila — a silver infused with mesquite smoke, from the house that also invented the cristalino. Juan Domingo Beckmann, eleventh-generation head of the Cuervo family, founded Maestro Dobel in 2008 with master tequileros Marco Anguiano and Luis Yerenas at La Rojeña, NOM 1122, from 100% blue Weber agave off a single family estate in the volcanic lowlands and spring water from the aquifers beneath the Tequila volcano; the brand has made a habit of firsts. Humito — little smoke — is the house silver, double-distilled and bottled at 40% ABV, with the smoke of mesquite wood introduced during production to give tequila what mezcal gets from its roasting pits, in the embossed apothecary bottle. Wooden Cork: a smoked expression unlike anything else in tequila — still tequila, still 100% blue Weber from the Jalisco denomination. Expect a nose of mesquite smoke, cooked agave, and citrus, opening into a clean, medium-bodied palate where the smoke sits over the agave's pepper and sweetness rather than replacing it — gentler than mezcal, with a dry, smoky finish. Honest note: the bottle for the mezcal-curious who find mezcal too much, and the bartender who wants a smoky Margarita or Paloma without a mezcal float — purists will call it a gimmick, and it's a good one. In a smoky Margarita, a Paloma, or a mezcal-style Negroni. Little smoke.
