Tequila Villa Lobos Masterclass with Dale Sklar

Tequila Villa Lobos Masterclass with Dale Sklar

Fantastic ‘Tequila Masterclass’ given last month by joint brand owner of Tequila Villa Lobos , Dale Sklar in Tel Aviv, Israel.  Some of the best Israeli  & International Bartenders attended the event. Dale spoke about his 40 year love affair with Mexico and the romantic love story behind Villa Lobos. He went on to explain the meaning behind Carlos Camarena’s saying – “Made with our Hands and Hearts’ or Hecho con nuestras manos y Corazon“. Each step in the production was explained, from planting the baby agave plants (the hijuelos) to the moment when the juice is distilled, aged and then bottled.

Finally the corks were let out and the group of bartenders enjoyed tastings of the various Villa Lobos casks, whilst even being able to be the only bartenders in the world (to date) to enjoy a sip of Villa Lobos ‘The Man’, a 10 year aged (unreleased) phenomenal Tequila made to celebrate Master Distiller, Carlos Camarena at La Altena (NOM 1139) … “Hearing Dale talk about Tequila almost felt like listening to a religious preacher. He spoke with such passion and care about the piñas, the earth in which they come from and the slow and traditional process in making this wonderful perfumed potion. It was pretty inspiring” commented Idan Levin, owner of Jasper Bar TLV.

The evening ended when Shira, one of the head mixologists at the Jasper Bar created a special Tequila Villa Lobos cocktail for Dale made with Villa Lobos Blanco , crushed coriander seeds, lime juice, orange juice , Peychaud bitters  and one secret ingredient … That, I guess we will never know.
