Tierra Noble Tequila tasting
featuring
Alberto Hererra-Master Distiller & James Wallace-Director of Sales
Tequilas to be Tasted: Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, Cristalino, Exquisito & 4 Cuarto Cristalino
Surrounded by the spectacular view of the mountains in Sierra del Tigre, you will find La Estacada, one of the highest distilleries above sea level in the world. At this altitude, the low temperatures contribute to the slow fermentation of the must which maintains the aromatic richness from the agave. Like fine wine the spirit then goes through malolactic fermentation, which manifests intense herbal notes and gleams of cooked agave, unique to Tierra Noble. Tierra Noble’s barrels are made of 75 year old American white oak and 150 year old French white oak that print smoothness and aromas to the tequila, breathing and enhancing through every oak stave while it gently ages thanks to the cold temperatures in the barrel cellars.
Blanco
Bright crystalline with silver iridescence; with a high grip in the cup, showing great body. Well defined nose; Strong presence of cooked Agave, herbal, mint and citrus notes, with a slight flash of anise. Soft and fresh of increasing intensity; notes of raw agave, a long finish, rich and balanced.
Reposado
The delicate balance of the agave notes with the subtlety of the American oak, lead us to discover in the careful selection of soleras a gentle Tequila but with great presence that culminates in the precious perfect golden of Tierra Noble. Rich and complex nose; nice notes of wood, dehydrated fruits, vanilla and a light touch of chocolate. Notes of prunes, toasted almonds, vanilla and light presence of dulce de leche on the palate.
Cristalino Reposado
Very pleasant and soft nose, with a range of aromas ranging from fruit, sweet and citrus orange and grapefruit with notes of cooked agave honey, light vanilla and cocoa in a perfect balance of wood without exaggerating its presence. In the mouth balanced and fresh, with a light cocoa flavor, fresh and sweet fruits, peach and red fruits; of great persistence on the palate. An impressive and distinguished product with harmony and balance with very good permanence and soft mouthfeel; citrus notes, grapefruit and peach, fresh and light wood products, characteristics that distinguish it.
Anejo
Rich and complex aromas of wood, dehydrated fruits, vanilla and a touch of chocolate. Superbly structured, creamy balance, silky and sweet with subtle touches of dry fruit. The aging years gives Tierra Noble Añejo an elegant and refined personality that becomes a wide bouquet of notes and tastes typical of the careful assembly of American and French white oak woods.
4 Cuarto Cristalino
Reposados and Añejos are tasted conscientiously until the best casks that will make this Cristalino unique are found. This selection of Añejos and Reposados will leave the casks in which they reached character and maturity in order to be distilled for a third time and in doing so, polish the notes and tastes in the most whimsical way, taking care of their identity in every detail. Strong character with sweet and fruit notes of green apple, a discreet presence of cooked agave and a light chocolate sparkle. Well balanced with citric notes, spices like clove, with a vanilla-butter finish. Silky, smooth and long permanence on the palate with fresh notes in the aftertaste combined with the tertiary notes of wood.
Exquisito Extra Anejo
The flagship of Tierra Noble was born from the tradition of having a specific selection, year after year from amongst hundreds of barrels. Only from those that have developed the most subtle and elegant notes get to be celebrated by the end of each distilling season. Over time, the exquisite blend of these extra-añejo tequilas age up to 85 months to then become what is known today as the "Selection of the Tierra Noble's founder". Aromas of honey, vanilla, prune, chocolate, toasted almonds, apricot and tobacco. The palate offers hints of dark chocolate, nuts, red fruits and a light touch of tobacco and spice. Fantastic persistence.
