NOM 1110 L19 247 2A TBC01 40% ABV Initial nasal impact is warming with a slight prickle. Aroma has sweetness from cooked agave followed by mineral, tropical fruit, briney olives, grass, pepper, floral. Somewhat watery initial mouthfeel with natural sweetness and adequate alcohol. Cooked agave, grass, mint, olive and brandy or whiskey notes. Citrus and pepper build on a long and enjoyable finish. Unfortunately I never had the blanco from NOM 1139 to compare it to, but this is a very good sipper.

NOM1139 - The nose is unique. I first detect a plum sweetness (stone fruit) that’s also slightly floral. There’s a pleasant fragrance that I assume comes from being rested in the wine barrels. There’s an underlying scent of cooked agave and some soft vegetal notes, akin to muted Espadin. I also get some faint honeysuckle. - I immediately taste the natural sweetness but then I get some white pepper on the mid palate. The sweetness isn’t cloyingly sweet. It’s equivalent to ripe red fruits. Some would say it has a feminine profile but I’m not a fan of that verbiage. The pepper is pleasant but fleeting. The buttery agave presents itself on the mid palate. The finish is clean with just a hint of lingering white pepper. - Overall it’s a unique and naturally sweet blanco. I think the Sauternes casks definitely had an impact on the spirit.
