Tierra Noble Reposado Tequila
Tierra Noble · NOM 1079 (Tierra Noble Distillery)
Tierra Noble's estate-grown agave and gravity-flow production create a reposado that respects its raw material. The six months in oak add just enough warmth without burying the bright agave character. This is terroir-driven tequila at a fair price.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Cooked agave is front and center, joined by citrus peel and a gentle butterscotch sweetness. Beneath that, dried herbs and a faint mineral earthiness emerge.
Palate
Silky and well-balanced. Vanilla and light oak frame the agave core, while cinnamon and white pepper add dimension. A subtle honeyed quality ties the mid-palate together.
Finish
Medium length with lingering agave sweetness, gentle oak tannins, and a clean herbal exit.
