Maestro Dobel Tahona Tequila Blanco Review
Indeed, if “still strength” was the industry buzz word a few years black, “tahona” is unquestionably the name of the game this year. Putting “tahona,” a large stone wheel used to crush the roasted agave, on the label used to be a nerdy signal to tequila connoisseurs that a brand was committed to artisanal production techniques and not compromising in flavor. (That’s not 100 percent the case any more, as the marketers have clearly learned.) This Proximo Spirits brand has gotten into the tahona game with this new release, creating a tequila bright and citrusy on the nose, with a palate packed with sweet agave, minerality, and an herbal finish.
