If you are looking for Congnac that isn’t cognac, this is for you. Orange and gentle oak, some agave is present on the back end. This is shockingly good, especially for the price.
Unfortunately this doesn’t keep the pedigree of the Blanco as much as I would have liked. Decent Tequila, just doesn’t flow as nicely as the Blanxo.
This is on point with anything that comes from Orendain, it’s old school and no nonsense. I like this style, it takes me back.
Aroma of agave and oak. Flavor of agave, oak and a hint of vanilla. Medium finish.
NOM 1110 Nose: An umami aroma - perhaps chorizo. Sweet agave, a little smoke and trace cinnamon. Flavor: The appearance was on the watery side, so I was surprised to have my first sip coat my tongue nicely. Round agave notes, cinnamon and almonds, with a touch of pepper and smoke. Finish is shortish with borderline over the top sweetness. The pepper asserts itself a little more towards the end.
NOM 1110 Nose: Dark cherry, ripe berries, cinnamon, ginger, and trace flintiness. Flavor: Bigger pop of flavor than the nose promised. Sweet agave, lots of barrel spice, cream soda, caramel with moderate pepper presence. Finish: Medium to short finish with pleasing overall balance. Mexican bottling with a 2011 tax stamp. $215 pesos.
Tastes clean and natural with oak and agave. Caramel from the barrel and sweetness from the agave combine for great mouthfeel and creaminess. Finish is short and I rate down a bit for that.

Saw this mixto on a bar back, so I tried it. I sorta wish I hadn't. Reminds me of Cuervo Gold from college. Aroma of artificial sweetener and vanilla. Same flavor and lack of anything else. Where's the agave? finish to speak of.
