This is a delicious, easy sipping, agave forward blanco. Bright, balanced, sweet cooked agave. Over delivers

On the nose, loads of cooked agave, minerals, cinnamon and pepper. Very prominent pepper. Some floral notes, and a faint hint of black olive. On the palate, black pepper is strong, right there with the cooked agave. I’m honestly shocked at how much pepper I’m tasting here. A slight briny note. Nice and naturally sweet. Overall, an absolute stunner. I am rarely surprised by a tequila, but this was a step above.

With a very light presence, my first whiff and I get notes of old-school tequila. Coming back and it becomes more vegetal and citrus driven with hints of dry earth. Big and creamy texture on the palate, this blanco explodes with flavors that are definitely found in the nose. So def not additives being used here. I love the big robust finish. Would buy & drink again as well as recommend this to everyone as a proper and traditional tequila!

Very nice Blanco that needs time to open. Agave on the nose but also muted which is nice. Gorgeous flavor, oily almost buttery in your mouth. little pepper on the finish. Definitely recommend this and can't beat the price. Batch 001

This nose is crisp and refreshing. I smell cool sea air that’s crashing on a rocky shore. The salinity and minerality are prevalent. There’s lime zest on top of buttery cooked agave. There’s fresh herbs, possibly some cilantro and a hint of fresh cut green bell peppers. This nose is very pleasing, complex and clean. I first taste bright citrus zest and oils up front. Then I taste creamy cooked agave in the middle followed up by some fresh white pepper that transitions you into the peppery finish. The finish is cool on the palate and the pepper pleasantly lingers. This is an excellent Blanco. The nose, taste and finish are so cohesive. The flavors and so bright and crisp that this product would do well in any cocktail but for me I’ll take it neat all day! Salud Amigos!

This rating is for batch/lote 001. The batch/lote 002 would receive a lower score, probably in the mid to high 70s.

Strong floral notes and some citrus on the nose, orange blossom? The floral part shows up right away when sipped and the citrus lurks in the background for a minute before popping out as zest and rind, essential oil on the tongue. Not sweet in the least despite the citrus, think peel, not fruit or pulp. Roast agave lurks under all this and brings some balance to the whole profile. I like this for it's clean, natural flavor and taste but I prefer the recently rated Confianza profile more. Both are from 1414 so highlight the differences introduced by the skill of the Master Distiller and the brand owners preference.

Nose: cinnamon, cooked agave, wet grass, mint, and passion fruit Flavor: cooked agave, mint, white pepper, tree fruit, and a nice oily mouth feel Finish: medium, starts with agave sweetness and ends with light baking spices

Batch 001 Nose: The scent of freshly harvested agave. Big sweet ripe cooked agave notes with floral passion fruit, and a pinch of cinnamon. Hay, cut grass, mint and green tea wed harmoniously to the agave giving it an herbal sweetness. Trace minerals and cedar aromas. Flavor: Savory salty notes playfully tease the viscous sweetness - it literally makes your mouth water. This is rich and buttery, giving an almost custard like impression - balanced perfectly by the pepper warmth. This sits wonderfully on the palate as it evolves. Earthy minerals and bright herbal notes weave in and out mid palate. A layered, lingering and nuanced finish. A seductive tequila profile.

Nose of raw bees’s honey, cooked agave, and citrus. Inviting ramp of flavor. Complex, yet approachable. Tiny herbal spike at the end before the finish to let you know that you’re drinking a traditional product free from additives. Solid blanco, buy one and share it!

Nose of green olive, black pepper, and slight cinnamon. Nice, rounded oily mouthfeel with olive taste and spice and mint on the finish. Very enjoyable. Another great tequila made by NOM 1414 Master Distiller Sergio Cruz.

One day after opening it becomes very fruit forward also a lot creamier. Reminds me of a banana smoothie.

Agave and black pepper all day long. Short finish with a bit of a citrus aftertaste. Good stuff

Los Dos Batch 001. This stuff seems to have it’s own signature so far. Sweet, distinctive nose with minerals, wet rocks, and citrus. Kind of intense. Agave is front and center on the palate and actually quite strong. It finishes with a bright pepper as the agave fades but then gets just a tad thin.

Delicious. Inviting aroma. Plenty of agave without much complexity. Nice finish.

Aroma of cooked agave. minerals. earthy vegetable agave on the tongue. hint of citrus and pepper. a little hot. good mouthfeel. decent finish. Batch 001

Similar to El Pandillo products like Pasote and G4. Not really my speed though as I’m not a fan of that earthy funk they all share. It just seems to overwhelm the rest of the flavors on my palette. For around the same price I would reach for blancos from Fortaleza or Siete Leguas.

Los Dos's blanco is bright, vegetal, crisp, warm, and balanced. At $50 (Ferment and Still), this compares favorably with other well know blancos such as Fortaleza, G4, Terralta and Pasote. Nose: Lightly sweet. Thr cooked agave, citrus, and black pepper are layered within a foundation of olive brine minerality. Some pleasant vegetalness. Palate: Mild butteryness, but not too rich. Mild olive briney and black peppery warmth envelopes your mouth and opens up to the cooked agave. Hints of citrus, mint, and cinnamon. Not overly sweet, which I prefer. Finish: Love the long peppery warmth that pleasantly lingers.

Nice agave and mineral taste. Some fruit but not overly sweet. This is very well done.

Wonderful product with great agave and mineral flavors. Not sure I can taste the classical music influence but overall a tasty tequila

Batch # 001 Are we sure that this is Not Viva Mexico from 1414 ?

All I can say is WOW….. definitely try this. I’m going to pour another glass to identify the complex flavors….. very enjoyable Nose- baking spices (cinnamon), vegetal, light minerality , maybe a little floral, and light pepper. Taste- rich cooked agave, vegetal that leads into a slight citrus with a slight caramel taste ending with an explosion of black pepper. Mouthfeel- silky

Nice fresh nose of baked agave, olive and minerals. Sweet agave on the palate with brine, minerals, white pepper and a minty finish … along with numb gums!

NOM 1414 LDBC02049 150796 23/12/20 16:14 Olives (without the brine), agave, cinnamon and some artichoke are at the forefront of the aroma. A definite minerality has a strong presence as well. The aroma notes carry over on the flavor side with brine entering the picture. Pepper immediately hits on the tongue and lingers on the med finish. A fairly nondescript mouth feel. Only available as a blanco, but a worthy buy at $43. Could drink it all day

Incredibly rich, buttery, complex Blanco Tequila. I taste Olives, pepper, cinnamon, mint and vanilla. No additives, recycled glass, lovely presentation. Batch 001? This is without doubt one of the most delicious Blanco Tequilas I’ve ever tasted.
