Casa Noble Reposado Tequila, 70 cl

Product Information

PH: Cask finishing is part of Casa Noble’s core Tequila-making approach. We believe in creating amazing spirits from start to finish. In 2006, we created a single-barrel process with the CRT (Tequila Regulatory Council). Since the brand's beginning, we have been committed to using unique barrels, particularly French Oak from the best coopers, to finish our Tequila. The Reposado features notes of sweet vanilla, oak, mushrooms, ginger, caramel and citrus, which gives it that perfect balance of earthiness, sweetness and spiciness with an easy finish and no lingering aftertaste.Handcrafted using the time-honored “tahona” process, the Roca Patrón Tequila collection offers a sophisticated and complex flavor profile that’s an elegant and elevated take on tequila. Like all of Casa Noble’s offerings, this one is certified organic, and has a limited number of bottles in select cities around the country. It’s best sipped slow for a warm, inviting mouthfeel.

Casa Noble is one of several organic-certified tequila brands, but that’s not why it’s good. No, this is good tequila because it’s a crisp, spicy, flavorful, and very versatile spirit. The brand underwent a redesign in 2021, changing the bottles from their former squat, boxy shape to more elegant decanter-style glass. The liquid has been updated as well, with a focus on barrel selection and blending, and eliminating the single barrel releases you could once find. According to founder and master distiller Jose “Pepe” Hermosillo, this means the reposado and anejo expressions are created by “selecting different barrels according to characteristics and integrating up to 14 lots to create complexity and balance.” These aged expressions spend a longer amount of time maturing than some other brands, with the anejo aged for two years in French oak barrels and the reposado for 364 days. All of the tequila is triple distilled, and the distillery implements many sustainable practices. Marques de Casa Noble came out in 2022, a blend of 12 extra anejo and 9 anejo tequilas matured from one to five years in specially selected French oak barrels that were aged for three years before being filled. Adam Levine’s Calirosa mashes up classic tequila-making techniques and California wine know-how for a bottle of tequila that tastes as unique as it looks. The brand’s Añejo expression begins with 100% blue weber agave, which is double distilled and then aged 18 months in ex-California wine barrels. These wine barrels let the spirit age in a different direction (don’t worry; it doesn’t taste like wine), and impart the unique rosy glow that gives Calirosa its name. Sure, tequila shots are fun at parties (and maybe gives you some liquid courage before stepping onto that karaoke stage), but artists rapping about “shots of Patrón” have really given tequila an undeservedly bad (and, ahem, cheap) rep. Reposado tequila is also aged but the aging process can be anywhere from two months to 11 months. It has a smooth, even finish. It’s less harsh on the tongue and won’t give you as strong as a hangover… provided that you’re sipping responsibly of course. Where it’s from: Casa Noble itself has been around since 1997, and it’s earned its fair share of awards: their Blanco (dubbed “Crystal”) won a New York Times taste test, and their añejo nabbed Gold Medals in assorted spirit competitions.

Much like the old version of the tequila, this reposado spends 364 days in French white oak, putting it on the cusp of anejoness. Like the previous expression, this tequila pulls no punches when it comes to expressing its agave core. Sharp and peppery on the nose, but undercut by peach and orange fruit notes, the tequila develops slowly to offer a milk chocolate character that layers in more hints of sweetness. The palate is quite spicy — toasted almonds layered with cinnamon and allspice — with greener, pepper-heavy notes building on the tongue. The body moves from there into a butterscotch character, more vanilla and milk chocolate emerging toward the expressive finish. The conclusion offers a healthy balance of herbaceous and sweet — satisfying and balanced at once. Tequila production begins with the agave plant, cultivated in Mexico’s desert regions. Early civilizations believed agave was a gift from the gods, which they used as a source for food, fibers and building materials. They would cut off the top of the plant, and the remaining stump filled with a liquid called aguamiel that would ferment into a cloudy, low-alcohol drink. PH: Agave is a plant that takes at least 6 to 7 years to mature, and at Casa Noble, we only use agave plants that are 10 to 12 years in maturity to make our Tequila. Over time, the price has been very cyclical. The balance of supply and demand has produced lows of 0.80 pesos a kilo to peaks of 30 plus pesos a kilo.When añejo tequila is done right, it’s at once rich and flavorful, smooth yet complex. That’s what you get from Casa Noble’s new añejo, a skillful and impressive blend of 12 extra añejos and nine añejos, aged in new French oak for one to five full years (most añejos are aged for a year max) with notes of ripe fruit, vanilla, white chocolate, roasted nuts, and spice. An undertone of sweet cooked agave recalls this tequila’s fresh Blanco roots. The bottle, resembling an agave spear, is also eye-catching to display. a b c "Archived copy" (PDF).

Other agave producers worldwide won’t have the same flavor profiles that Mexican agaves can produce, so I think there is space for these other agave products – they won’t be the same as traditional Tequila.

Country singer George Strait is an investor in the brand, and even wrote a song inspired by the tequila (aptly named “Codigo”) off his 2019 album, “ Honkey Tonk Time Machine.” Whether you’re at an A-list after party or just chilling at home, nothing beats a “Casamigos and soda” for a refreshing, celeb-approved drink. Each batch is distilled for a minimum of two months in stainless steel barrels, and delivers a nice mix of sweet agave, light citrus and just a hint of vanilla.The secret to Cenote’s smoothness? The company says it sources naturally filtered water from an “artesian well” located at their distillery, which sits at the base of the Jalisco volcano. Cenote says the water goes through a reverse osmosis process and carbon filters with silver ions help to eliminate any chance of impurities affecting the taste.
