Price Statistics

Description

Maestro Dobel “Pavito” Tequila is one of the most unusual and conversation-driven releases in the tequila world. Inspired by a traditional mezcal technique, it is lightly infused with roasted turkey (pavo) during distillation, creating a tequila with subtle savory, herbal, and gently smoky complexity layered over clean agave. This is not a novelty gimmick—it’s a refined, cultural reinterpretation that delivers a surprisingly balanced and intriguing sipping experience. Origins & Craftsmanship Produced by Maestro Dobel in Jalisco, Mexico, Pavito draws inspiration from a rare Oaxacan mezcal tradition where proteins—often turkey—are suspended in the still during distillation to impart subtle flavor and texture. For this release, Maestro Dobel adapts that concept into a tequila framework: 100% Blue Weber agave base tequila During distillation, a roasted turkey breast is suspended in the still The process gently infuses the spirit with savory aromatics and texture, rather than overt meat flavors The result is a tequila that remains unmistakably agave-driven, but with added layers of umami, herbs, and soft smoke. Key production highlights: Traditional-inspired protein infusion technique Unaged blanco style Focus on subtlety and balance, not intensity Limited, experimental-style release This method is extremely rare in tequila and even uncommon in mezcal, making Pavito a true conversation piece for enthusiasts.
