This Gran Dovejo Repo has a signature 1414 nose like many of its cousins. Nice sweet agave. Apple is prevalent and also barrel notes such as vanilla and cinnamon. I also get almond and caramel. This is a good nose but it is light compared to other 1414s. Cooked agave is very forward on the palate. I get oak, cinnamon and bit of black pepper. Vanilla and caramel and a bit of banana. The mouthfeel was a little thin. A bit of alcohol on the finish. I would definitely recommend this one and it is a reasonably priced repo.
*This review is for the GD cask strength reposado* Beautiful barrel nose and easy going palate. Caramel palate to it. I like this.
Nose: vanilla/ sweet cooked agave / caramel/ butter / banana/ pineapple/ lime / hint of other citrus / nutmeg / chocolate/ molasses/ cream soda Taste : sweet cooked agave / vanilla/ cinnamon/ oak / pear / apple / peach / hint of citrus / mint / anise / spearmint/ black tea / all spice / hint of honey / chocolate/ molasses / cream soda Finish: a very clean and lightly vicious mouthfeel that is very sweet, smooth, and very good / lingering vanilla and light mint make for an excellent finish This anejo is very good with vanilla and sweet cooked agave staying with you the whole taste…so many other tastes and aromas , but the more I pour the more vanilla and agave carry the whole melody in concert with caramel and chocolate notes.
Nose: sweet agave / pepper / earth / fruity / alcohol / melon / orange peel / lemongrass / salt Taste: agave bomb!!! / pepper / cinnamon/ earth / pineapple/ banana / green apple / orange peel/ spearmint/ Finish: super clean low viscosity mouthfeel / so smooth! / incredibly bold flavors of sweet agave and pepper / slight alcohol and bitter end This high proof blanco shows off the powerful flavors that can be captured/retained in high abv expressions. There’s a slight bittersweet finish that’s enjoyable and leaves you wanting more. Another hit from 1414.
Nose: agave sweet / vanilla/ pepper / earth /apple / grapefruit/ butterscotch/ alcohol Taste: agave sweetness/ pepper/ vanilla/ caramel/ banana/ apple / citrus / peppermint/ orange peel / allspice/ chocolate/ molasses/ cream soda Finish: very low viscous texture / agave sweet through to the end/pepper lingering taste NOM 1414 delivers on this Reposado. A great soldier in the front line of Gran Dovejo. Very nice!!
Lot 155, Bottle 135 The aroma on this is one of my all time favorites. Cooked agave framed in barrel notes and baking spices. The flavor matches the aroma and the extra proof overcomes the barrel aging. Another masterpiece from 1414.

Additives in tequila? I bet you’ve never thought about it. But whether you are for or against additives it’s useful to know how they are used, the rules that govern them, and how to sleuth them out.

A truly good blanco is hard to find. You can’t use the aging process to cover up any unpleasantness, and the agave has to shine. Shine it does is this bright, rich, agave experience! That’s why Gran Dovejo Blanco has a permanent spot in our home bar.

A very tasty Anejo. Nice sweet agave on the nose followed by a nice barrel influenced of oak, vanilla, caramel and cinnamon. I also get a floral aroma with a fruitiness. On the palate, nice and sweet, almost like a dessert with butter on top. Barrel flavors are there with a little oak, vanilla and caramel. I get the whiskey flavor from the barrel but at just the right touch. This is a natural process tequila that could slam the big boys with its natural sweetness vs that artificial sweetener. Mouthfeel is great with a medium viscosity and a nice clean finish. This is a definite recommendation.
