Casa Noble Tequila Reposado

A good solid reposado with some nice character. As to be expected from the Casa Noble line.

Aroma: Agave, Vanilla, Earth and Oak.
Initial Taste: Not as sweet as I'd expect, but a pleasant sweet oak entry with hints of vanilla.
Body: Medium body. Nice wood and spice notes combine with the agave and vanilla sweetness.
Finish: A medium length smoky/peppery finish with an oak linger. It keeps the points of the agave and the aging. A nice balance.

I think that I like the anejo best from this group, but this is a solid tequila. The bottles and stoppers look great. Since it can be easily found, I'd happily recommend this to someone to try as a good example of a balanced reposado.

After having a small glass of the Casa Noble anejo, I decided to buy a bottle of both the reposado and the anejo. Especially after reading great reviews on the reposado.

My initial review of this tequila was a bit harsh because I decided to make it directly after drinking it side by side with the Casa Noble anejo and Los 3Garcias reposado. There is no doubt that the initial taste was certainly among the best reposado tequilas I have had, it had a "back of the tongue hit" I would not expect from a slightly mid/higher end reposado. However, this is a mild deterant and not something you notice continuously.

While the Casa Noble anejo is definitely worth the cost, and while the reposado certainly had no shortage of outstanding flavor, it's finish can easily be matched with a smaller price tag tequila.

I have no regrets buying this tequila, but it is one I plan on keeping on the shelf for sampling purpose rather than buying bottle after bottle.

Tasted all Casa Noble products over the weekend. Fine lineup of tequilas. This reposado was spicy with a mild wood flavor. Peppery and rested, minty ending.
