I can't say it enough, Arette is definitely one of my favorites, The Orendain Family, have really dedicated themselves to the art of making fine Tequila, and this Blanco Suave version is awesome, The Agave aroma in this line is so present, and it literally hypnotizes you, the earthiness leads way to a virtually indescribable body that for a blanco is hard to rate, it has the characteristics of silkiness, and butteryness, that make it very distinctive, the finish certainly gives that off, the smoothness of this product was pleasing, and what can i say about the bottle design, timeless.

I am a huge fan of the Arette products, the whole presentation, of that whole old tequila bottle w/ cork lock is awesome, simplicity at it's best, and the whole story through which the horse was put on the label is pretty cool. This bottle though lack sin the presentation department compared to the others, the cork is not there, but the quality of the product certainly has not changed, my hats off to the Orendain Family for their continued dedication, This blanco has a great agave aroma and taste, i simply love it, although it is a little more harsh from the blanco suave it is definitely very good, a beautiful clear, with a very inviting aroma, you can't go wrong.

4 Copas Silver is definitely a must have for an avid tequila aficionado,for Tequila 4 Copas, i would have to say that this is their weakest tequila, although the entire line is excellent, this is definitely the least, compared to other blancos though, it is up there in overall consistency, I found the initial aroma very inviting, with hints of the earthy agave plant, and some floral, once the stuff hit my mouth the taste of the agave was apparent, but for a silver the agave taste, i felt was lacking, something a true silver should never lose, the silver sat well in my mouth , it was bitter and hints of a buttery finish lingered, but once it was swallowed it carried through a numbing alcoholness that never went away, definitely very different.

Casa Noble Reposado, was a privelege to taste, i was honored enough to sample this tequila with "Pepe" of Tequila Casa Noble about a month ago, this was certainly a treat, although i have an unopened bottle of all three of their products it was nice to get more information as to how thier product differs from the rest of the field, and this products is one of those products that just leaves a great impression on you, Casa Noble Repo. is an awesome tequila, with excellent aroma of filled with an earthiness, light citrus,and vanilla that just make it so welcoming, along with a rich light golden color,and full body which make this tequila a rarity among the tequila elites, it's smooth finish, and long lasting numbing taste make this tequila a fun tequila to sip, and enjoy. A++

4 Copas Reposado, is aces in my book, ok, yes it is organic tequila, and not much to really compare it to right now, but 4 Copas Reposado along with it's two counterparts blanco,anejo, really make a good team. Tasting this tequila at a local Catadores members' cigar shop, we found that the earthiness, and small notes of smokey,buttery citrus notes give this repo, it's edge over other reposados, The overall body of this repo is smooth and very pleasing to the pallette, and agin this repo is very well suited for cigars, but it's anejo counterpart was a hands down favorite amoung the cigar crowd. The light golden color of this repo, was fairly different, really light in color, but certainly did not away from it's character, 4 Copas Reposado definitely stands out in the crowd of repos, with that same mouth numbing oiliness found in the anejo, this repo. is going to definitely be a crowd favorite.
