Nose: vanilla / hint of caramel / sweetener / bit of pear / apple / hint of lime and grapefruit/ orange blossom Flavor: vanilla / caramel/ / earthy / pear / cherry / hint of mint / honey lingering finish / too sweet to taste like agave Finish: quick and clean non-lingering finish / sweetener/ vanilla This is a drinkable tequila that has some artificial sweetness that is too strong. Some of the other flavors seem a little too artificial somehow.
agave is somewhat masked on the aroma by vanilla, caramel and wood. agave shows a bit more ankle in the flavor but still too much vanilla and caramel for me, with the wood still present. very short finish. not going in the direction I like (moving from blanco to reposado), so I'm not inspired to try the anejo. tough to recommend, even at the reasonable price
What in the f**k did they do to this to make it so outrageously delicious with such average Blanco?!? The most surprising and random evolution in a barrel I’ve ever seen, I’m guessing that 1% additive went a long way here. Tastes like candy, it’s good.
Nose has honey, vanilla and caramel, with light agave. Entry tends to sweet with black pepper spice. Bitterness creeps in mid-palate, spreading nicely to the roof of the mouth. Nutty finish lingers for an acceptable time, finally turning to dark cocoa. This is an easy sipping bargain.
NOM 1570 | Smooth sipping reposado. Caramel and vanilla aroma and flavor. I love it.
NOM 1570 | Really disappointing Reposado . Hard to sip neat . Expected more from a reposado
NOM 1570 | Bottle: LOTE NO 3AMIGOS/REP100/003 Appearance: Medium hay Nose: Oak, caramel, cooked agave, cinnamon, barrel spice, honey, coconut, butter, almond, vanilla, alcohol, and metallic…fairly straightforward Palate: Oak, alcohol, cinnamon, black pepper, barrel spice, whiskey, baking spice, vanilla, artificial sweetener, fake fruit, hay, metallic, mild cooked agave, slightly astringent, and sawdust…decent, with only a few minor defects Finish: Oak, whiskey, alcohol, and slightly astringent…shorter duration and oak-forward along with the palate Overall: This is a decent tequila that isn’t unbearable sipped neat, but it would probably lose any hints of its few defects if suitably mixed into a cocktail. There are certainly many worse options in this price range.
NOM 1570 | Cooked agave, alcohol, earthy aroma. Peppery with a short finish. Just okay.
not a bad repo but the finish is a bit hot
NOM 1570 | $60 US in Arizona
A step up from the blanco. It reminds me of comparing lunazul blanco and repo. It probably leans better toward being a mixer and bot really a sipper. Still a little sharp with some mellow wood notes.
Good agave notes along with vanilla and caramel.
Pretty standard aroma of agave, cinnamon, and alcohol. Taste starts mellow with agave, vanilla, cinnamon and grass that transitions into a finish that starts smooth but ends with a slight bite.
3 Amigos Reposado follows their wonderful blanco with an entry that doesn't quite measure up. Affordable ($29 @ Total Wine) and easy to mix or sip, this is a great value tequila. Nose: Alcohol on the initial pour, that dissipates only to have the nose almost completely disappear after some time un the glass. The initial draw is light cooked agave, carmel, oak, vanilla and baking spices. Toasted almond, orange citrus, and tobacco on the back end. Taste: Oak bitterness and a big bite of peppery heat. Mouthfeel is thin and the bitterness takes away from the cooked agave, oak, and bajing spices. I get hints of toasted coconut and chocolate. Finish: Long heat and a bit of bitterness on the finish.
bit of additive taste towards the end. begins great tastes well on the tongue but bad finish unfortunately. maybe good for a mixer
I had an initial reaction of additives. This is a nice repo but not at the level you can find. Perhaps my bias against additives. The aroma has vanilla, soft floral smells and alcohol on deep inhalation. The taste is sweet and smooth. A medium long finish with small late burn. I wonder why the organic blanco is good, the regular blanco is bad, and the repo is ok. Maybe someone needs a better chemistry degree.
NOM 1499 | Agave Peppercorn Spice
NOM 1499 | Aroma: alcohol, caramel, agave. Flavor: alcohol opening followed by , caramel with a hint of agave. Finish: burning aftertaste. Opinion: I don’t understand why all the fuss about this tequila, I will say that are better tequilas at the same price point. I won’t buy it again.
NOM 1499 | Aroma Alcohol followed by oak. Taste Alcohol followed by artificial sweetness and oak.
NOM 1499 | Oily and unpleasant. Not a fan of this brand based on their anejo and reposado.
Cooked agave and alcohol and dried fruit give it a kinda spoiled aroma. Earthy, agave, oak and a hint of caramel in the mouth. Black pepper and a tobacco burn with a slight sweetness in a short finish.
Much nicer nose than the blanco, agave comes through but still pretty hot. Decent amount of cooked agave on the palette, finish is a bit dry but it does sort of balance the heat.
Had to order this from California. Not available in FL. I would buy if it were here due to the $20 price tag. Not bad. Right up there with Espolon for the same money.
Aroma is sweet and floral Flavor is full, smooth and hints of vanilla Finish is smooth, the more it sits the better it tastes Great value at $34
I'm always on the look out for the next great budget tequila. With this entire line being under $30 at many places, I thought for sure it was worth a look.

NOM 1570 | Nose: Caramel, honey, hazelnut, and leather. Some fruity elements underneath the general barrel notes. Some but not a lot of agave. Palate: Mouth feel starts off on the medium side and quickly fades to relatively thin. Mild cooked agave, charred oak, spice, vegetal, and general alcohol. More burn than I’d expect from an 80 proofer. This is an okay option for those looking to explore budget additive free tequila. However, I wouldn’t start with this one.
