NOM 1459 | A sweeter mess

Artificial sweetener, cream soda, vanilla candy, oak notes like caramel & butterscotch, some agave present but largely masked by sweetener. Sugary lasting finish with a thick viscosity and very minimal heat, “smooth” from introduction of additives. From the showy design of the bottle, to the flavor profile of the juice inside, this offering is marketed towards those who do not like tequila.

Nose: alcohol / oak / earth / lemon / dill / lavender Taste: artificial sweetener/ tropical fruit/ melon / maple syrup / cream soda Finish : sweet! / maple & buttercream / quick finish leaving a very sweet thick mouthfeel There’s an artificial sweetener taste in this tequila that is so overpowering that it detracts from some of the traditionally correct tequila flavors. I wonder what it’s TMM score would be if this aspartame type sweetener was removed?

unnaturally sweet. popular Total Wine brand. the line is sweeter as you get to the aged expressions (especially the cristalinos). fine if you like that flavor profile, but not for me

Nose: floral, cinnamon, caramel, and perfume Flavor: overly sweet, oak, some cooked agave, and light amount of baking spices, has a dry mouth feel Finish: long starts sweet and ends peppery

Nothing mind blowing here, it wants for a bit more complexity compared to my favorite reposados, but still, very smooth, agave-forward, sipping friendly.

On the sweet side for sure but super smooth and tasty. Might be my favorite.

Sugar water. Got it as a gift. Expecting a headache.

so sweet you'd swear they added sugar. very disappointing after seeing their advertising

I did have the repo cristalino version which changes the flavor and definitely the finish. Taste wasn’t anything amazing definitely had a unnatural sweetness which I normally hate but did not mind this. It did have a nice finish. Good for shots or cocktails. Not on par for my sipping taste

Nice agave aroma with some oak and vanilla coming through. Flavor has some artificial sweetness to it.

Vanilla

Vanilla and caramel notes

Sweet lots of honey, too sweet. Good finish good aroma

Aroma has soft notes of vanilla, butterscotch, oak, and flowers. Taste is good with the same tasting notes- nice heat but the sweetness that lingers takes away from the overall flavor.

The vanilla sweetness was very overpowering. Did not taste the agave. Even the aroma was too much. Everyone at the table could smell it at a distance.

beginner at this but I loved the sweet finish for easy of sipping. vanilla and caramel finish with some smoke/oak taste.

Good sipper from a chilled glass. Tastes better on the rocks. Gimmicky bottle like Oro and Addictivo

if you like fake sugars and artificial flavors, this over priced tequila is yours.

Total BS that this is additive free. My blood sugar rose after sipping this sugar bomb. very little agave or tequila taste. This is a Total Wine house brand you should walk right by it.

This tequila is additive free. I can personally attest to that; as I work in the company that bottles mi familia Flores. We did not believe the additive free tag either. So they invited us to their distillery. They ferment for 24 more hrs than the usual tequila. The vats are literally overflowing with froth. It's truly incredible to see this innovation and the tequila it produces. Aromas: Vanilla, caramel, cooked agave. Notes: Caramel, caramel, caramel. This reposado is silky in the mouth and lusciously caramel in every way imaginable. It finishes with a soft, intensely buttery trip for your whole mouth. I know a lot of people dislike sweet tequila. I understand where they're coming from; and sweet tequila usually means added sugar. Can we stop and appreciate the way this additive free tequila can make us argue about their tag?

One of the worst tequilas I have ever tasted. it was recommended by the total wine guy I should have known better. it is truly terrible, it tastes like an additive factory.

Very sweet, tastes like juicy fruit gum. The only reason I bought the bottle was the sales person at Total Wine in The Woodlands, TX said it was additive free and it was written on the counter tag as additive free. If you have proof otherwise, then it’s deceptive trade practices by Total Wine.

Sampled this at a chain liquor store. Very sweet!
