Tasted out of a shot glass so nose was hard to judge. Pretty much vanilla and alcohol. Taste is sweet, maybe artificially. Barrel tastes of vanilla and caramel and oak. Getting some cinnamon and baking spices. Finish is rough. Alcohol and aftertastes of artificial sweeteners. I have had much worse tequila but I would not turn this down if offered a pour.
Nose: artificial vanilla/caramel/ hint of anise / very faint fruit aromas / hint of lime / artificial sweeteners/ alcohol Taste: artificial vanilla/ caramel / cinnamon / anise / dried fruit / banana/ hint of citrus/ artificial sweetener/ spearmint / molasses/ nutmeg/ baking spices / cream soda Finish: the finish is harsh and bitter/ linger artificially sweetened and artificial vanilla just keeps hanging on / light viscous mouthfeel. This anejo has an enjoyable nose but the artificial sweetener and vanilla just drop this tequila into a lower score.
The nose may be the most disappointing component of this tequila. Everything is muted and blends together. I do get agave and barrel. The taste is better at separating notes. I get agave first, followed by barrel flavors of oak, vanilla and caramel. I bit of black pepper. The finish I good. I really don’t have much experience with NOM 1502 but this is good, not excellent.
