I am only writing this review because of how different this recipe is from its predecessor in the short purple bottle. It's as if they decided they wanted their tequila to taste like everyone else's'. It used to be ultra smooth almost almondy with big agave sugar flavor. This version tastes like the same drink as the ALL THE OTHERS.. Very disappointed in the new direction. This new Anejo could not be picked out of a Tequila-flight with others of the middle shelf.. It has lost its top shelf place in our bar. Soooo Disappointed. You can get the same exact flavor, finish, and character from Tequilas at 1/3 the cost. Don't waste your cash on what must have been a money saving change to there process.

Product description
Casa Noble Añejo Tequila is a consistently smooth agave tequila with remarkable character and elegance. This Mexican tequila is made with a dedication to quality and sustainability, using only the finest ingredients, including 100% CCOF Certified Organic blue agave grown in the rich, volcanic soil of Jalisco. Masterful harvesting and slow-cooking in stone ovens, along with a proprietary juice-extraction method, produce a 100% blue weber agave tequila that is smooth, complex, and elegantly balanced. The blanco tequila then is triple-distilled and aged for two full years in new French oak barrels sourced from the most respected cooperages, including oak from Taransaud in Cognac and Nadalie in Bordeaux. The result is a wonderfully aged Casa Noble tequila with a wide variety of floral, spiced, toasted, and fruit notes that harmonize beautifully with the agave, making it perfect for savoring in your favorite tequila sipping glasses. Even the most discerning consumers will enjoy this sensuous, full-bodied, and unique smooth-sipping tequila añejo, either on its own or in tequila cocktails. Be Noble. Drink Responsibly. © 2022 Casa Noble Imports, Canandaigua, NY. Tequila. 40% alc. by vol.

Kyle A. Verified BuyerVerified BuyerWe always get another bottle before it runs out!
Dan R. Verified BuyerVerified BuyerI got this as a sub for Casamigos Añejo because it was about $5 less per bottle. It’s a pretty good tequila, but has a bite to it that I’ve never seen in an Añejo before, despite the fact that Casa Noble says they rest this tequila for as long as two years. It also lacks the caramel and oaky notes that Casamigos has. I didn’t think I would miss that since I just make margaritas with it, but I do. Compared to Hornitos, or José Cuervo, it’s slightly better. Oh and the top that you pour from on Casa Noble leaks if you don’t pour it super slowly.

FAQs
For anyone hoping to explore the many intricacies amidst the tequila market, it’s essential to understand the nuances between the different categories: gold and silver are the most obvious, but there are also reposados, añejo and extra añejo. Each style has its own process and flavor, but the añejo varieties are considered the spirit’s richest form. Añejo tequilas are more mature and complex than other tequila expressions; they are barrel-aged for at least 1-3 years and often feature robust flavor profiles that include notes of bright orange, dried fruit and toasty vanilla; as such, a premium añejo is meant to be sipped and savored like a fine scotch.
Añejo is a Spanish adjective meaning “mature” when used to describe a tequila or a mezcal; the word has roots in the Latin adjective “anniculus,” which translates to “one year old.” The term impeccably fits the añejo tequila category. Mexico’s Tequila Regulatory Council (TRC), which sets the standards for the tequila industry, requires that añejo tequila is aged for a minimum of one year in oak barrels, which lends to the spirit’s signature amber color and complex flavors. Don’t take the names on the label lightly — the Mexican government owns the rights to tequila and supervises and requires strict compliance to the regulations required of the different tequila expressions.
While many añejo tequila connoisseurs prefer to sip the rich spirit slowly sans ice or other mixers, you do have some options that pair well. Añejo tequilas are aged at least a year in wooden barrels, and as such, have a strong flavor that can easily overpower a mixed beverage — lean on simple, classic ingredients like lime, orange, grapefruit and other equally bright citrus juices and sodas; or, consider muddling a bold and spicy jalapeno with a bit of sugar and lime. Because of its aged quality, añejo tequilas often substitute well in popular bourbon or whiskey cocktails such as an Añejo Old Fashioned or an Añejo Sour.
Any grocery store that sells liquor will carry the more common types of tequila, but you will likely need to patronize your local craft liquor store to find premium tequila varieties like añejos and extra añejos (don’t forget — Drizly lets you see what tequilas are in stock near you). As you survey the tequilas available locally, don’t waste your money on anything aged for too long as the oak flavor may overpower the otherwise rich flavors; notably, the minimum aging time for extra añejo is three years though some are aged past ten years. Silver and gold tequilas are generally very affordable, whereas the premium varieties can easily surpass $40 per bottle.
