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.

I will say, I was shocked how smooth this Tequila was. It does have a “whiskey” aftertaste but not to the point of a burn and it holds the agave taste “you know it’s Tequila”. You will find hints of spices as well as notes of vanilla and cream soda. Prefect with cheese and and a meat of choice great after dinner.
Casa Noble anejo is one of my top choice tequilas for sipping. Aged for 2 years in lightly toasted French limousin oak it delivers delicious aromas of oak, vanilla, and toffee. The mouthfeel is extremely velvety and tannic. With flavors of oak, black pepper, vanilla, and hints of chocolate. Best served neat.
Very dynamic. As compared to similar anejo in patron and Don Julio, this one feels less finished and packs a punch. Which is a very very good thing. More like driving a rowdy two-seater instead of a smooth straigh-laced sedan. Would definitely recommend to people who appreciate strong flavors.
Rich and sweet nose, with notes of vanilla icing, citrus, cake, agave and a hint of black pepper. Sweet, but thinner, on the palate with the same vanilla cake dominated profile, but with the agave and citrus showing through just a bit more. Not much of a finish. Ok.
Neat. It smells nice..vanilla, fruit, agave, honey. The taste is smooth, medium mouthfeel, sweet, agave, oaky, juicy fruit gum, and a touch of pepper and cinnamon. Finish is similar with the saccharine lasting a while Overall a nice tequila on the pretty side.
