Casa Noble Reposado

75 SCORE

“Being a whiskey/bourbon fan, I like spirits with a bit of fire/burn to them. This Casa Noble Repo is not that. While the aromas are excuisite of milk chocolate, cooked agave, and brown sugar, the flavor is a bit indistinct, but smooth. Picked this up on sale from one of my liquor distributors in Cabo San Lucas for about $16. At that price, you can't go wrong. At regular price of about $30, I'd make a different selection such as Tierra Noble Reposado, San Matías Extra Añejo Reserva ( Mexican version mixto) or even Espélon Reposado (bourbon barrel aged) ”

San Matias Gran Reserva (MX)

93 SCORE

“Although the Mexican retail version is a mixto this is a great sipper. I always relate the flavor profile of this tequila to a candied Christmas cake with spice and dried fruit and baking spice notes on the nose and palate. A great entry Añejo tequila for people that "hate" tequila but don't know what they're talking about. ”

Hornitos Cristalino Tequila

70 SCORE

“It seems like every tequila distillery is on the Cristelano bandwagon these days. Here in Cabo San Lucas this one normally retails 420 Mexican Pesos, about $23 USD. I've never been a huge fan of the Cristelano expression although have many friends who love DJ70. Found this Hornitos on sale for 199 pesos this week about $11, and thought it was too good a deal to not at least try it, even though all Sauza product are diffuser tequilas. (thank you Tequila Matchmaker for the insight) Opens with alcohol on the nose and a hint of vanilla, seemingly a characteristic of the Cristelano expressions. Smooth. Mouthfeel with a hint of jalapeño? Short peppery finish. I'll finish the bottle but probably wouldn't by again. ”
