This viscous libation is crystal clear and it coats the glass nicely. The cooked agave jumps out of my Riedel Ouverture tequila tasting glass. The nose is very clean all while having some nice citrusy notes of lemon, lime and light grapefruit zest. Some faint agave sweetness, light minerality, thin alcohol vapors and a delicate floral note accompany this agave and citrus forward plata tequila. The viscosity helps to deliver the buttery cooked agave to your palate. The citrus zest quickly follows along with some sweet floral notes and then some light pepper just before the finish. The sweet agave and the light pepper linger into the finish. This is a very clean plata which makes it refreshing but also begs you to have another sip.
March 19, 2023 I wanted this tequila for the bottle but didnt want to pay b4 trying it. Heidi sent me a sample so I'm trying now. No info on TMM yet, except NOM 1107 Nose: grassy vegetal pepper cinnamon some brine, a little agave comes thru along with anise, wet cement and minerality as it sits Palate: not as complex as the nose. sweeter than nose, agave, anise, pepper. Finish: short/fast I assume this is stone brick ovens cooked, roller mill crushed, S/S without fibers, copper still like other 1107 brands I checked. out of Ciénega Low 80 rating. Priced high, probably for the cool bottle was $119 at Oldtown. Marked down to $85, still too high in my opinion
Soft nose. Some buttercream sweetness and dried fruit, but I also get some dust and wet-dog. Pale straw color. Creamy mouthfeel. Baking spices, wood, leather, pepper. Sharp pepper-bite in the finish. Interesting bottle but a bit of a disappointing sipper.
BEST surprise ever! At first glance this incredible bottle is hard to comprehend and understand that it's actually a bottle and has tequila in it. Also the fact that it is the shape of the Baja, which is not where tequila is made, was very confusing. But then I learned the story. A story of three friends together in Cabo who Loved tequila. Silky soft on the nose & palette. Yes it's warm but has no tequila burn. I'm not sure how they get so much oaky, warm flavor in just 4 months of resting. Soon to be tagged additive free I hear. This one is now a TequilaSnobs' favorite!
On the nose I get cooked agave that’s been aged in American white oak barrels (ex bourbon barrel). That agave / barrel sweetness is aromatic. There’s some spice from the barrel and some pleasant earthy mineral density. I get some orange candy before a light floral note that turns fruity. I taste the sweet cooked agave that has a caramel note along with some prominent barrel spices. There some cinnamon and brown sugar that appear before a peppery and vegetal note. It’s roasted jalapeños and black pepper. The finish is full of lingering sweet agave and earthy pepper with a nice alcohol presence and orange citrus zest. This Reposado has the nice agave punch from the Plata but it adds some fun notes from the barrel aging. The price is an issue but the juice is good!
