Maestro Dobel Diamante
Proximo Spirits / Beckmann Family · Maestro Dobel Distillery, Jalisco, Mexico
Maestro Dobel Diamante didn’t just create a tequila—it created a category.
Nose
Elegant and refined—soft oak, warm vanilla, and bright citrus peel open into subtle agave sweetness and a whisper of toasted almond.
Palate
Silky and polished. Caramel and vanilla from the aging emerge first, followed by bright cooked agave, prickly pear, and a gentle toasted oak warmth.
Finish
Smooth and crisp, with a lingering interplay of vanilla, mild oak spice, and clean agave that fades gracefully.

Ron Zacapa Edición Negra
Ron Zacapa
Edición Negra takes Zacapa's high-altitude solera system and pushes it toward heavier charred casks, producing a darker, more brooding rum than its siblings. The result is a spirit that trades some of the Centenario 23's honeyed charm for genuine complexity and a savory edge. Whether you sip it neat or pair it with a robust dessert, this is rum built for contemplation.
Michter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Michter's
Michter's 10 Year exemplifies the discipline of selecting barrels that can handle a full decade without tipping into over-oaked bitterness. This is bourbon that rewards slow sipping — each minute in the glass unlocks new layers. A benchmark for what extended aging should accomplish in Kentucky whiskey.
Don Pilar Añejo Tequila
Don Pilar
Don Pilar's Añejo delivers genuine agave character that has been shaped, not masked, by eighteen months in oak. This is añejo the way it should be done — the wood serves the spirit, not the other way around. At its price point, it competes well above its weight class, offering depth and balance that many pricier añejos struggle to achieve.
Jensen's Old Tom London Gin
Jensen's
Christian Jensen spent years researching nineteenth-century recipes to reconstruct an authentic Old Tom profile. The result is not a novelty — it is a genuine revival, offering a window into what gin tasted like before London Dry became the dominant style. Essential for anyone building a historically informed Martinez or Tom Collins.

Arette Artesanal Suave Reposado
Arette
Arette's Artesanal Suave line represents their elevated expression, using a tahona-and-roller mill process that captures more agave complexity. This reposado finds the sweet spot between agave purity and oak influence. At its price, it outperforms bottles costing twice as much.
Fuenteseca Cosecha 2019 Blanco
Fuenteseca
Fuenteseca's vintage blancos are exercises in terroir expression, and the 2019 Cosecha is a study in mineral-fruit tension. It drinks more like a serious mezcal than a commercial tequila, rewarding patient sipping. For those who believe blanco tequila can be a contemplative spirit, this is your proof.
Terralta Blanco 80 Proof
Terralta
Terralta's standard-proof blanco is often overshadowed by its high-proof sibling, but this 80-proof expression is a study in highland elegance. Felipe Camarena's work at the family distillery in the highlands of Jalisco produces tequila with remarkable mineral clarity. At this accessible price, it's one of the best entry points into serious craft tequila.
