Distiller Notes
Alta Belleza pays homage to the meeting of two of the world’s finest terroirs, the famed vineyards of To Kalon in Napa Valley and the rich agave fields of Jalisco, Mexico. Truly remarkable, Alta Belleza is a Casa Noble Extra Anejo tequila that has been finished in barrels that were previously used to age the prestigious Robert Mondavi Winery To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon.
Alta Belleza is sweet and bright with a taste that is perfectly balanced. The T5 Taransaud French Oak wine barrels impart a distinctive, intense flavor and deliver a beautiful copper red tone to the liquid. The mouthfeel is seductive, velvety, and long lasting. Complex aromas of green apple and spice complement notes of cinnamon, toasted almond, and sweet cooked agave for a drinking experience like no other.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
