Nose: Cooked Agave, Cinnamon, Cream Soda, Oak, Butter, Maple, Carmel, Black Pepper and Some Minerality. Mouthfeel: light to medium bodied Palate:Cinnamon, Agave, artichoke, Tropical Fruit Finish: Agave, Cinnamon, Anise, Black Pepper This was enjoyable and a bit more mild than some of the other 1414 reposados I've had. Much more subtle carmel, Toffee and Oak Notes and much more prominent cooked agave.
This was a neck pour. Strong alcohol on the nose with agave, vanilla, oak and caramel. Plenty of pepper, too. The taste is of cooked agave, pepper, oak and vanilla. This is one I will come back and re-evaluate after it has time to breathe. It is good now but I expect more from 1414 and this may have it but I can’t get that at the moment
Nose: agave sweet/ vanilla/ caramel/ pepper / fruity / green apple / citrus/ orange blossom/ chocolate/ molasses Taste: agave sweetness/ pepper/ vanilla / caramel/ cinnamon/ banana/ lime/ black tea / nutmeg Finish: smooth / sweet and a little spicy pepper/ the agave sweetness and barrel notes of caramel and vanilla remain for the short finish that is clean and fresh This reposado has more sweet notes and they really overpower everything. There are other flavors that come through, but it’s the sweetness that carries the whole experience. It’s unbalanced in that way, though the final result on the finish is enjoyable.
One of my favorite reposados.
Tasty sipper. Big vanilla & caramel nose with agave undertones. Nice viscosity coats the palate leading to a long sugary finish. I can see why people like it, but just not my favorite profile.
Tequila ArteNOM, from Las Joyas del Agave, is unique in that it draws tequila from several different distilleries, acting like a curator and showing off the “house style” of different distilleries.
$70 in San Francisco Aroma: 23 A sweet olive covered in a warm vanilla glaze with caramelized cooked agave sprinkles. Vegetal and herbal spice. Palate: 26 Thick pleasant viscosity and body. Oak and vanilla up front followed by cooked agave and mild lemon citrus. Finish: 22 Medium length with a warming touch which rounds out as it settles. Value: 6.5-7 Artenom is a great safe buy.
