1079 delicious! tasted 2014

NOM 1535 | This is from an old bottle. Ok to good aroma. A really interesting taste—cinnamon red hots that have fermented. Finish is good. Warm and slightly sweet.

NOM 1499 | The aroma smells of alcohol, agave, citrus, butterscotch, caramel and olives. The smell reminds me of mezcal. On the palate is cooked agave followed by a peppery note that becomes quickly overtaken by sweet buttery caramel notes, reminds me of Werthers butterscotches . There is earthy taste that trails off with the tanginess of pineapple as it finishes and fades into minerals and fruit. Pleasantly surprised by this drink,despite the initial alcohol/smokey smell.

NOM 1079- absolutely delicious tequila, and my favorite from 1079. The older ones are even better, but all the 1921's were fantastic.

Aroma: honey, agave, citrus, earth, clay pot, floral. Palate: cooked agave and citrus, orange blossom, floral. Finish: smoky, earth, spices and herbal.

NOM 1499 | Roasted agave is present off the nose, comes off a bit sweet but still enticing. Really peppery and old school flavour, I really misunderstood this when I first tried it years ago, it’s surprisingly elegant. I recommend giving it a try.

NOM 1499 | Nose: Minerals and bread dough. Agave, lime peel, hay and trace mint and cinnamon. Flavor: A caramel-like, chewy agave sweetness. Feisty pepper and cinnamon “red hots”. There is a slightly “ different” nuance to the end of the sweetness that I can’t quite nail. Maybe stale, soggy graham crackers? Not necessarily a flaw - but different. Finish has definite heat to it. It doesn’t take on any further complexities.

NOM 1535 | Nose: Fruity agave start. Ripe pitted fruits with clove and nutmeg. A hint of smoke. Flavor: Starts softly in the mouth. Then baked agave, vanilla and light pepper emerge. Some cinnamon makes an entry. Finishes with pepper and hazelnut.

Agave, spice with a bit of honey. Interesting but a bit harsh for my taste

Distinct aroma of agave with just a slight bit of citrus. Strong flavor of anise again with just a bit of citrus at the end. The finish is warm and peppery and moderately long. A nice blanco but definitely not something I could sip for an extended time.

NOM 1079 | Expect a sweet spice with a lot of mineral bottom notes. Also, look for a hint of mildew! The treasure bottle variant of this brand features a thin leather strap embedded in the top cork. If you find one of these "leatherstraps" you are indeed in for a treat!

Vegetal and sweet, a classic Los Altos profile, with a well rounded aromatic structure but some sharpness that prevents it from being a good sipper, but really good in cocktails

NOM 1079 | Mexican 40% abv. version, LOTE 85, marbete is from year 2003, tasted on 10-2-24. Aroma: light raw agave, light green vegetal notes, light acidity, hint of citrus, earthy, after 20 minutes in the glass a light dirt aroma emerges together with light cooked agave note. 30 more minutes later the cooked agave aroma and sweetness becomes more noticeable and intense, quite a surprise! Palate: confirms aromas perceived, thick mouthfeel, agave note is sweeter on the palate, soapy/floral aromas through my retronasal. Finish is medium to medium long, hint of raw agave with light agave sweetness, light acidity, hint of earthiness, hint of citrus with light green vegetal and light fruity notes persist.

NOM 1499 | Nose: Baked agave Taste: agave,

NOM 1499 | Aroma - salt water, vegetal, pepper Flavor - sweet agave, cantaloupe, cotton candy Finish - starts smooth but heats up, flavors linger longer than most Blancos

Great fruit up front. Spice on the back end. great finish.

NOM 1499 | Slightly hot finish but thoroughly enjoy the mineral/pepper entry with citrus/orange rind notes.

NOM 1535 | Clean crisp up front, hint of grapefruit and agave. Really like this one

Straight sugar notes throughout, a bit sweet for my palate

NOM 1079 | Great value for sipping.

Good neat, but makes the best margaritas of any Blanco I've tasted.
