Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof)  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico  |  Aged up to 8 months  |  Distillery: Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (NOM 1438)

Production & Heritage

Casa Maestri is produced at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, registered under NOM 1438 in the state of Jalisco. The distillery sources 100% blue Weber agave from both the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, roasting the piñas in traditional stone ovens before slow grinding and double distillation. What distinguishes this reposado from many peers is its aging regimen — the spirit rests for up to eight months in American whiskey casks, primarily sourced from Jack Daniel's, imparting a warm, familiar woodiness that complements the agave's natural sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with cooked sweet agave and clean grassy notes, then develops into buttery richness layered with crisp apple and fresh citrus. Subtle vanilla and tropical fruit round out the bouquet alongside a gentle herbaceousness.

Taste: The entry is smooth and viscous, immediately presenting roasted agave and vanilla. At mid-palate, rich wood spices emerge — particularly cinnamon — alongside hints of anise, coconut, and clove. A pronounced peppery spice builds toward the peak, adding complexity without overwhelming the agave core.

Finish: Medium to long, with peppery warmth threading through a delicate sweetness of tropical fruit. The whiskey-cask influence lingers as a gentle toasted oak note that slowly fades.

How to Drink Casa Maestri Reposado

Sipping neat at room temperature reveals the full interplay of agave sweetness and barrel spice; a single ice cube opens up the tropical and vanilla notes for warmer-weather drinking.

Paloma: The grapefruit soda amplifies the citrus and herbaceous qualities already present in the spirit. Tequila Old Fashioned: The whiskey-barrel character and cinnamon spice integrate seamlessly with bitters and agave syrup. Spicy Margarita: The inherent peppery finish pairs naturally with jalapeño and fresh lime, creating depth without losing balance.
