Casa Noble Crystal Tequila

Casa Noble was acquired in 1990 by Jose 'Pepe' Hermosillo, the seventh generation of his family to run a tequila distillery. This boutique distillery was established in 1776 and is located in the state of Jalisco, in the city of Tequila itself, the home of the blue agave. Casa Noble only makes 100% agave tequila from blue agave grown organically (certified USDA) on 650 hectares of their own land in the hills of Jalisco. Mature agave plants (over ten years old) are handpicked and their hard cores (pinas) are slowly steamed in a stone oven for 38 hours to convert the carbohydrate (inulin) into fermentable sugars. The soft pinas are then pressed in a gentle screw mill that presses the sweet juices out. Casa Noble uses a screw mill instead of a roller mill. The latter, while resulting in less wastage, extracts more astringent flavours. The juice is then put into stainless steel fermentation vats where ambient yeasts carry out the fermentation. After fermentation, Casa Noble distils their tequila three times, a process that ensures an extra smooth drink. They have named their blanco tequila 'crystal' because it is in a class on its own. It has refined citrus, green apple, fresh grass, and herbaceous notes. Enticing aromas set the palate for flavours of honey and buttery-sweet cooked agave.

Tasting Notes:
The clean, crisp taste of this Blanco tequila celebrates the fresh flavor of the noble Blue Weber Agave. Enticing aromas set the palate for flavors of honey, buttery-sweet cooked agave and a hint of citrus. Triple distilled for a well-balanced and smoother-than-glass finish, this Blanco is in a class by itself.
