NOM 1588 | El Mexicano Repo is probably my new favorite Repo … wow… cooked agave with fruitiness, some slight woodiness with vanilla caramel or butterscotch minerality on the end just delicious

small sample vanilla, barrel notes, mild and easy sipper.

NOM 1588 | NOM1588 - Tequilas El Mexicano Hecho en Arandas Jalisco I smell some cooked agave and some dusty dry oak. There’s some dried orange citrus and white pepper. It’s a light nose but clean. I taste sweet buttery cooked agave, spicy red pepper flakes and barrel influence from the American white oak. The French oak influence comes on the finish. It’s sweet and spicy but not overwhelming. There’s a medium finish with a lingering spiciness. This is a well made Reposado that has a lot of character without being overwhelming. Salud!

NOM 1588 | Wood comes through on the nose with agave. Pallet is very easy to sip, minimal heat. Very surprising. light and clean

NOM 1588 | Nose: Cinnamon and spice, white pepper, caramel, citrus, minerals and oak. Flavors: Prominent barrel spice. Nutmeg, clove cinnamon and pepper. Light colored tree fruit, and agave. A hint of butterscotch. In the mouth I get alternating sensations of creaminess, then roughness around the edges. Finish: A tad of bitterness on the finish, but with some nice fruit and caramel. Mexican release at 38% ABV, at a cost of $300 pesos. Picked up a point on value.

NOM 1588 | Bargain priced tequila. It has more wood than I usually like for a Reposado. I bet whiskey drinkers will like this.

NOM 1588 | Not as nice as the blanco. Whisky aroma and flavor that is pungent, not softened. Did they use too newish oak whiskey barrels?

NOM 1588 | Tasted at QDJ with Charlie. The aroma is a little strong, with definite barrel, notes even a little whiskey-ish. After letting it sit for a few more minutes, some sweet, butterscotch notes come out The taste is OK but a little thin. It feels like it leaves very quickly. Same for the finish. From aroma to finish everything is good, nothing objectionable.

Agave forward with hints of barrel notes finishing off with a mild peppery heat that finishes off with creamy wood highlights

I haven't seen this anywhere in town, and then I found it at Duty Free at our small airport. Aroma of cooked agave, vanilla and oak. Flavor of agave, black pepper and barrel spice. Medium finish.

NOM 1588. Oak forward. Reminds me of Suerte. Good budget tequila.

$64 Authentic aroma good but a little bitter on finish

NOM 1588 | This tequila has been difficult to find. Puerto Vallarta came through for me. It was available in 750 ml and 1 L...so yeah 1 L it is for me without regrets. This is a very mellow yet quality reposado. The French oak comes through in flavor only. Can I possibly describe it as buttery and creamy?

NOM 1588 | This is one of the most underrated tequilas out there. It’s absolutely great and for only $20 for the Blanco. If you see it grab it because it’s starting to become recognized more and more as a very good tequila.

NOM 1420 | slightly hot finish
