Found a few of these a little while ago and just opening. Nice nose of roast agave and some oak. In the mouth this has a bit of viscosity but tastes natural. The same can't be said about some other recent 1173 releases. A bit of bitterness is carried off well by the finish of this.

The flavor is very nice and complex. I get notes of raw agave, vanilla, oak, and clay. It's sharp and slightly medicinal but not overpowering. The flavor meshes up pretty well with the aroma except I get a lot of pepper upfront. It transitions to a little agave and oak and finishes with a vanilla note. It hangs around in your mouth for quite a while allowing you to get all those different flavors in one sip. Definitely a nice and unique Reposado.

This bottle is a 1431 NOM. Aroma is discreet agave, black pepper and cut grass. Wow...this is a flavor bomb. Thick and oily on the tongue what begins as a very moderate builds quickly and delivers pepper and baking spice along with caramel and a heat that just uses and rises and rises. The finish is long, warm and stays with you for a minute and a half to two minutes. Very nice.

Taste like acetone.

This has been one of my go to tequilas because of its great value. For an inexpensive sipper or mixing into a cocktail, this tequila provides a nice balance between quality and price.
