A good solid reposado with some nice character. As to be expected from the Casa Noble line, which is a favorite amongst many tequila drinkers and part owned by Carlos Santana.
Taste is the primary factor in selecting which tequila I want to drink, and Casa Noble stands out in the flavor department.
NOM 1137 | NOM 1137 Aroma: Butterscotch leads, followed by baking spice, honey and toffee. There’s a warm, dessert-like sweetness to the nose. Flavor: The palate starts with caramel, warm vanilla, subtle dried fruit and noticeable barrel notes, but the flavors fade quickly and fall fairly flat. There’s a distinct waxy texture that coats my lips and the roof of my mouth. The combination of caramelized sweetness, baking spice and dried fruit oddly reminds me of eating my grandmother’s fruitcake as a kid. It’s also extremely dark in color for a reposado. It drinks easy, but lacks any complexity or depth. Finish: Short, with pepper building toward the end. That waxy, coating sensation lingers longer than the actual flavors, particularly on my lips and the roof of my mouth.
