Casa Noble Añejo

As the week winds down we hit the third of the Casa Noble examinations. (To be clear, however, this isn’t all of what Casa Noble has to offer. They have a whole line of single barrel offerings as well that we haven’t managed to get our glommy mitts on yet.) Finally, we hit the añejo – […]

Peligroso Tequila is a relative newcomer to the tequila scene. Can rise above the imitators while still maintaining their “kick ass” persona?
