Casa Noble Añejo Tequila

Sipable, but not the most tasty. Vanilla on the nose, smooth taste.

Light after burn smooth

It smells rich with a sizable dose of that foot cheese scotch smell, but also Earth and a tad of lime peel. The palate is very Earth with some cinnamon sweetness and notes of chocolate laying in a minty bed. The alcohol mixes with the mint to create a flavor that is a bit too far forward, but the end result isn't ruined. The richness on the long finish is quite nice and reminds me a bit of Fuentesca. I would love to try a more eager version of this, but there is some good stuff going on here. If the alcohol could just step back a bit this could be quite good. The vanilla and butterscotch are really nice here. The stewed agave fits in naturally. There's some of that reposado depth but it also is nicely hedonistic. Some bell pepper vegetal notes come through with the mint and so does the faintest bit of anise. This is a solid sipper but it could use some refinement of its flavors to get rid of the alcohol. The complexity is nice, but the alcohol largely overwhelms it.
