Nose: faint agave / earth / hint of cinnamon/ pear / apple / orange peel / tea / orange blossom/ alcohol Taste: sweet agave / anise / vanilla / light cinnamon/ hint of earthiness/ banana/ apple / orange peel / lime / tea / peppermint/ nutmeg / hint of cream soda Finish: watery wet with only the lightest viscosity / beautiful lingering sweet and spicy flavors hang out and leave after 20 seconds leaving a parting gift of continuous minty sweetness This blanco is delicious. It has so many flavor notes that are bold. It’s not quite an agave sweet bomb, but it’s calling card is agave / anise sweetness and a very mild cinnamon stage that keeps enough contrast to the sweetness that it’s not one dimensional. Another great blanco from NOM 1414 and MD Sergio Cruz.

Another winner from 1414. Great nose with agave, vanilla and oak. Earthy and fruity. Nutmeg and peach. Tastes of cooked agave, with a harmonious barrel influence of vanilla and caramel with slight oak and cinnamon. I absolutely love this one. Finish is nice and lasting with sweetness that coats the mouth.

This offering from 1414 is another example of what can be done for a decent price. The nose is a nice balance of cooked gave, caramel, cinnamon and even cherry. The taste is very pleasing with agave balance of agave, pepper, cinnamon and caramel. Just the slightest hint of chocolate. Leaves a nice sweet finish in the mouth. Good medium viscosity. Definitely recommend.

Nose: vanilla/ caramel/ butter/ agave cooked / chocolate/ anise / tea / nutmeg/ molasses/ almond / cream soda Taste: vanilla-caramel-cinnamon all at once - big taste / agave cooked / chocolate/ hint of banana/ hint of grapefruit / anise / spearmint/ black tea / nutmeg/ a very tiny trace of tobacco/ molasses/ cream soda Finish: slightly viscous mouthfeel that’s enjoyable- the vanilla-chocolate- caramel- AND cinnamon /mint tastes provide a refreshing and delicious finish This anejo is a bit of a vanilla-caramel-cinnamon and cooked agave bomb….those flavors really leap on to your tongue and stay with you for a bit….so good!!! Very budget friendly option for someone seeking a dessert tequila.

Beautiful blanco, showing on the nose and the palate cooked agave, citrus, white pepper, slightly herbal with some clean minerality.

Nose: agave cooked / caramel/ pepper/ cinnamon/ earth / cherry / grapefruit/ tea / chocolate/ Taste: agave / pepper/ caramel/ cinnamon/ apple / lime / herbal / tea / lemongrass / chocolate/ a touch of baking spices / minerals Finish : a very smooth sipper / the sweetness is the big story here / the pepper and barrel notes are the supporting cast. Slightly oily finish, that’s enjoyable- leaving a lingering sweetness. This repo is a good sipper but lacks some of the balance/harmony on the palate that I look for. The pepper comes up but it just can’t catch up to the sweetness.
