NOM 1499: On the nose, loads of caramel, vanilla and oak. Sweet cinnamon and a bit of spice and fruit. On the palate, definitely a ton of oak. The caramel is very present. The oak is a little overpowering for me, I’m not loving that. Nice natural sweetness and some agave hidden in there. The vanilla comes in and out and lingers on the finish. Overall solid. A little overoaked in my opinion, and at $90+, it’s a little pricy imo. I appreciate the use of Mexican wine barrels.

NOM1499 - The nose is fragrant but not dark & dense. It’s delicate but not thin or heavy. This Añejo is double barreled. They first barrel their blanco for 6 months in Mexican merlot wine barrels and then it’s rebarreled and aged for an additional 12 months in symphony barrels. A symphony barrel is a barrel made from multiple wood types. Corrido uses 3 wood types to make their unique barrels; French Limousin oak, Missouri white oak & Hungarian oak. There’s an earthy sweetness with hints of baking spices (mainly cinnamon), raw unfiltered honey, cooked agave, thin molasses and saturated oak staves. Some chocolate and tobacco sneak in too. This is a tequila that whiskey fans can also appreciate. - For a Añejo that’s interacted with so many wood types I can still taste the cooked agave. There’s notes of caramel and a dense combination of dark honey and Mexican vanilla. The barrel influence and some sweet pepper hit the mid palate while the baking spices and barrel tannins linger into the medium and sweet finish that has a hint of orange chocolate. Overall this is great additive free Añejo that I love sipping neat but I’d also like to try it in a Mexican Old Fashioned. - Their bottles look great and the back label has a picture of their stacked barrels on the backside that faces the front of the bottle.

Very complex from the moment it was popped open. Beautiful nose. Agave forward, mocha, cinnamon, touch of smoke, baseball mitt, molasses, chocolate, cherry, vanilla, spices, as good as it gets.

This is for the new NOM

Bottle from 2011. Oak, agave, barrel spice of caramel, cardamom, caramelized agave. Quickly becoming Unicorn tears. Someone must have a large stash.

Complex and rich. one of the best tequila values out there IMO. Agave, caramel, spice and just enough oak. Delicious.

Even more peppery than the extra-anejo, but I think I might like it more because the complexity isn't so hidden. Lots of licorice, and I don't like licorice. But I like this.

NOM 1526, Corrido Anjeo ($101 @ Ferment and Still) is excellent sip, albeit on the sweeter side. The nose and taste have multiple layers of complexity. It's quite the improvement from the reposado. Carmel, oak, baking spices , raisin, cherry (dried) fruit, charcoal, and chocolate. Everytime I come back to the glass, something new pops up. The finish is a bit disappointing. A lingering sweetness, but otherwise not much going on. A slight knock on affordability.

I actually started my tasting with Nueve Uno blanco which imo is a solid blanco. Then I went with the Corrido anejo. It smells delicious, I don’t know why but I almost got a hint of butter popcorn. Tasted it and was very easy to drink , Cooked agave, caramel,vanilla, butterscotch,pepper, very little oak .I really enjoyed it.

I'm really glad they brought this line back. they are all first rate. the anajo has sweet agave vanilla caramel cinnamon dark cherry chocolate. very dark in color but no additives. everyone should have this in their rotation.

Lovely aged notes of caramel, cinnamon, toffee, vanilla and oak spice. The texture is round and plush across the palate. Very nice finish. Tasty and complex. Very nice sipping Tequila. Paid $95 per bottle.

Nom 1526. Very nice with tasting notes from aged tequilas, bourbons, and sherry cask whiskies. Has notes of Cooked Agave, Vanilla, Raisins, Cherries, Dark Chocolate, Butterscotch, Almonds, Maple Syrup, Plums, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Red Chili Peppers, Green Chili Peppers, Lavender, Violets, Oranges, Ginger

Quite nice! Agave, citrus, caramel, cinnamon and butterscotch… light on the oak. Wonderful sipper with a long finish.
