1500– Trianon Añejo is a sweet, woody, spicy sipping tequila that won’t break the bank. The color is dark, perhaps from the longer aging and red wine barrel (or maybe coloring), and visually reinforces some of the flavor profile. The bottle is quite nice, with a metal embossed badge, nice topper, and slender profile. Overall, the presentation is excellent. I detect caramel, vanilla, agave, oak, pepper, cinnamon, leather, and tobacco. It has nice viscosity and is a very pleasant sipper. I’ll add this to my list of tequila to help convert whiskey drinkers.
Nose: citrus, hints of lime, floral, vegetal, and mineral notes Flavor: cooked agave, agave sweetness, vanilla and green apple Finish: medium with lots of spice
From NOM 1500, this is very rich with caramel, oak, agave and nice viscosity. It settles down nicely in a Glencairn after sitting a few minutes. This opens up to a chewy caramel bar mouth feel while not being syrupy or over sweet. I've had this awhile as it is the bottom of the tri stack of .375ml bottles originally released by the brand. The taller 750ml bottles came later as did a move in NOM. This has a 2004 stamp but isn't anywhere near that old.
Nose is deeply vegetal, earthy and kind of musky in a good way. Agave is prominent with a hint of sweetness and even cinnamon. Soft and round mouthfeel, there’s a minerality that’s nice. An easy mix of pepper and spice with low heat and a medium finish, that does get some complexity as it sits towards the back of the throat.
Nose: Vanilla and caramel. Some perfume like nuances. Ripe dark fruit, barrel spices and a touch of thyme. Flavors: Toffee, ripe agave, cinnamon and cloves, light pepper and trace wood/sap notes. Finish: Lite pepper, maple syrup and leather. Lingers.
Nose: Vanilla, dark cherry, jammy berries and dried apricot. Hard apple cider? Flavors: Rich ripe agave, brown barrel spices, fruity with a whisper of licorice. Great barrel spice, pepper pop, caramel and vanilla.
Mexican release NOM 1500 triple decker bottle. Aroma: Lively nose. Ripe tropical fruit, floral notes, flinty mineral notes. Trace cinnamon and citrus. Flavors: Cookie spices, mintiness, vanilla, and ripe agave. Medium pepper heat.
