NOM 1599 | Out of the no. 7 Cazcanes, this is maybe my favorite. The nose is full of barrel with much oak, vanilla and caramel. I get dried fruit, plum, banana. When the nose is high in the glass I get butterscotch. On the palate, I get sweetness from agave, caramel and vanilla.

A palate of oak, caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, agave, pepper. A mellow sipper, sweet but not too sweet with a long sugary finish.

Wonderful sipper with great barrel notes

Earthy, mineral flavors, and agave forward taste come through…though the nose is more agave/fruit and ‘rain’ water finish. Cazcanes in any expression does not disappoint. One of the few brands to cause Fortaleza fans to reconsider their stance.

Nom 1614, price brought down the score

Absolutely drop dead amazing!! This has such an appealing nose, it screams agave and gives off some alluring notes from the barrel influence. Perfectly balanced sweetness, alcohol and flavour, this is elite. It’s not cheap but spend the money, I promise you’ll be happy.

A03/22 — another winner. Amazing nose! Some apple, agave, pepper, and bitter oak. Short finish but overall tasty treat. 87 NOM 1614 (New Distillery) first taste—yum! This was a single barrel so I’ll have to wait for the regular release. But it’s tasty! A touch of cheesy funk on the nose but just a touch. 88

Malolactic and agave on the nose, more agave and barrel and less Parmesan on the flavor. Mild peppery on the back end but good finish.

Nom 1599 Nom 1614= 87

lots of barrel influence good bridge for whiskey drinkers to tequila

Gorgeous nose. Chocolate covered cherries all day. Juicy mouthfeel and a delicious, complex flavor of berries, chocolate, almond, caramel. Sweet but not overly. Oak is restrained too. Looong finish that turns a bit raisin at the tail end. Minus a couple points for price point, but a terrific anejo.

Nose: some agave, oak, orange peel, vanilla, caramel and nutmeg Flavor: barrel spices, oak, citrus, cooked agave in the background, sweetness of brown sugar and cinnamon spice Finish: medium and starts peppery and ends a little dry with some bitterness.

Very good. Agave, strong caramel and candy apple taste up front, pans pepper on the back end. The caramel and barrel does not over power the agave at all. Can definitely see myself listing to jazz music and sipping this by the fire place. Review Had to come by a month later and re-review it cause this is absolutely amazing. Lost points for value, but this has become my absolute favorite regular proof anjeo. Very good

Well made Anejo, sweet cooked agave, along with caramel, vanilla and light heat

Lot 1

Nice rustic presentation, sisal twine around the neck, hand written lote number/bottle? Tasted and nosed from a jarrito this has a very neutral aroma with oak spice dominant and some roast agave. In the mouth this is roast agave, caramelized sugar, barrel spice of of oak, burnt sugar from char and some agave spice of roasted pepper. Subsequent sips reveal a nice bold character that maintains throughout to a nice prolonged finish.

NOM 1599 | NOM 1599 Batch: A04/22 Nose: Oak Berries/Cherry Chocolate Cinnamon Flavor: Oak Chocolate Butter Vanilla Cinnamon Finish: Long, peppery finish with hints of raisins or dried fruit. Excellent Anejo

NOM 1614 | Aroma: light sweetness and barrel, some vanilla, not much initially, opens up after ~15 minutes Taste: there’s the agave, light caramel, barrel at the end. Finish: long, pepper, coconut (?) This tastes and finishes better that it starts

NOM 1614 | Pleasantly surprising. Typically prefer Repo over Anejo but this one blows the No7 Repo away. Notes of Carmel and vanilla offset the oak and whiskey perfectly.

Batch No. A72402 Aroma: sweet honey, vanilla cream, drued fruit, and some wintery spices like nutmeg Flavor: also sweet honey and vanilla with more agave and stone fruit Mouthfeel: not too thick and rich, almost thin, with a tingle on the back and sides of my tongue from the alcohol Finish: both the alcohol tingle and sweetness linger quite a long time and finishes with spice trailing at the end Color: light honey

NOM 1614 | Vanilla with smooth finish

NOM 1614 | Aroma strong vanilla, hint of caramel & oak Taste sweetness with agave Finish smooth with flavors just hangout for a while.

NOM 1614 | I am generally a fan of this brand but there is something about this Añejo that is harsh to me. It could simply be the type of barrel it was aged in or something else. The aroma is barely there and quite faint for me with an awkward consistent harshness to its flavor. I will say the lingering after finish is good as it retains the agave tones. Maybe it’s just the batch/bottle I have but it’s definitely overpriced for the hype.
