History,
Surrounded by the spectacular view of the mountains in “La Sierra del Tigre”, you will find “La Estacada”, one of the highest distilleries above sea level in the world. It is in this noble land where the natural resources and passion of Tierra Noble’s founder meet to create a generous tequila.
Tierra Noble is made with passion by the Herrera family at La Estacada just outside the beautiful mountain town of Mazamitla, Jalisco. La Estacada is the highest modern distillery on the planet at
7,200 feet of elevation, in Jalisco's Sierra del Tigre, a place of cool forests, clean air and pure mountain springs. At this altitude, the low temperatures cause to the cooked agave mash to ferment slowly with exclusively Montpelier wine yeast while preserving the aromatic richness of the agave. Completely unique in the tequila industry, Tierra Noble achieves a secondary malolactic fermentation – more common in chardonnay production than in spirits – after the initial alcoholic fermentation, which manifests as surprising, beautiful buttery notes in the final product.
Tierra Noble sources their 8-10 year-old blue agaves from small farmers in both Los Altos and the Valley of Tequila. We double-distilled in elongated custom stainless steel pot stills designed to enhance floral notes. Finally, Tierra Noble is aged in barrels made from 75-year-old American and 150-year-old French white oak, gently aging and imprinting softness and aromas to our already complex tequila thanks to the cold temperatures in the barrel rooms and to the ceaseless passage of time.
Tasting NOtes,
Nose: Strong character with sweet and frutal notes of green apple, a discreet presence of cooked agave and a light chocolate sparkle.
Palate: Well balanced with citric notes, spices like clove, frutal with a vanilla-butter finish. Silky
Finish: The aftertaste combined with the tertiary notes of wood.
