Casa Noble is a brand of premium 100% blue agave tequila produced by the Casa Noble Tequila Company, one of only three Organic tequilas made in the world. Casa Noble is distributed in the United States and Canada by Wilson Daniels, Ltd. also known as Infinium Spirits. The tequila is made from estate-grown agaves cooked in traditional stone ovens; these are naturally fermented and distilled three times.[1] Casa Noble Reposado and Añejo are aged in White French Oak.[1]
Casa Noble has been the winner of many accolades including "double gold winner" of the San Francisco World Spirit Competition in 2007[2] and 2009[3] and "best tequila" in Mexico by Academia Mexicana del Tequila.[citation needed]
