NOM 1143 | Aroma and flavor of oak, caramel and baked agave. The oak was a bit to dominate for my taste. Medium body and finish.

NOM 1143 | Batch 503, bottle 281. Strong agave aroma that is almost medicinal (not in a good way). Medicinal character carries over into flavor. For all the heavy/strong aroma and flavor, the finish is surprisingly weak. Some heat lingers at the front of the mouth.

I didn't care for this. It was mostly okay, but had a sour-ish taste to it.

When the bottle was first opened, there was a distinct smell and aftertaste that reminded me of cilantro: kind of a soapy taste. Maybe tannins? Someone with more knowledge can probably tell you. After a couple of weeks of being opened, it still had a hint of the unpleasant scent, but no longer had the taste. It tastes very well after the mystery flavor goes away.

Hints of oak and nuts imo no vanilla after taste real pure and deep agave flavor

NOM 1603 | Smooth and approachable aroma with some alcohol/chemical notes. Flavor is relatively smooth but the finish and aftertaste are a very harsh and spicy. Good value, but not a high quality or memorable Tequila.

NOM 1603 | Aroma: heavy caramel and oak. Missing the agave. Hints of some chemical candy like aroma. I’m confident there’s some additive sweetners in this tequila. Pallet: oak and spice. Really sweet and smooth - not much agave. Taste like an average reposado. Finish is okay, medium in length. It’s not the worst ever, just not the best. Value. 7/10. Very affordable but I have to knock it because you are paying money for added sweeteners and coloring.

NOM 1603 | Mild, pleasant smell. Strong front flavor that cools to a nice finish. This was a gift so I don’t know the price. I would drink it again

NOM 1603 | Starts good. But gets way too hot in the back into finish. Starts with a bang though.

NOM 1603 | That’s an oak taste. Not too smooth but doesn’t go down bad. This is better for mixing then drinking straight. Got it for $27+tax. Basically you pay for what you get.

Quite pleasant tequila to sip. Nothing special or sophisticated but smooth, balanced, and full of flavor. I would consider it a steal at this price range!

El Mayor is an interesting brand. Great bottle, good distribution, widely varying pricing...and opinions that are all over the map.
