Casa Noble is just an awesome brand all around.

I have not opened the Don Julio Anejo yet. I picked it up on a recommendation from my son. We both have very similar taste. I will open it when I finish off a bottle of Chinaco Anejo I opened awhile ago. It's an amazing anejo, although I am not real big on anejo, but it is one of the best I've ever tried. I do enjoy repo and anejo from time to time, but I am much more of a Blanco/Sliver/Crystal person.

Reposado is my favorite, followed by Silver then Anejo. Reposado is the compromise between purity and aging for me. Anejo might as well be cognac or something...

Interesting. I was at a high-end, chain Mexican restaurant last week and was talking tequila with the manager and he said the he perferred the reposados and blanco to the anejo. He said the anejo is like drinking bourbon and that you get much better "tequila flavor" from the reposado and blanco. I'm going to start trying the reps and blancos now.
I did procure a bottle of the DJ 1942 and it's some wonderful stuff

BTW, I'm going to a tequila dinner at Cantina Loredo this Weds. They are featuring Don Julio tequila, will be fun to talk to the rep and try to get some 1942 off them.

What kind of glass are you drinking your tequila from? I have a set of Riedel tequila glasses, they look like champagne flutes, but with straight sides. I've also used a small snifter. It works well but sometimes I get too much nose from it.

Been using the Glencairin Whiskey glasses neat or just a rocks glass with an ice cube. I treat it just like Scotch.

Did a tequila testing tonight with some 100% agaves - Don Julio, 100 Anos (Sauza) & Cazadores Blanco. Don Julio won hands down. The Cazadores was nasty - wouldn't use it for anything but a mixed drink.

Wine makes you mellow.
Beer makes you happy.
Tequila makes you felonious.

Mmmmm, 1942 is some really good stuff. Haven't had any in a while, might have to rectify that!
