NOM 1079 | This bottle is from NOM 1079, circa 2005/6.

This profile is good and has a nice framework Organoleptic structure: Cooked/raw agave, citrus, lemon, pepper, earthiness, anise, clove & sweetness (brown sugar/molasses)

This was a pleasant surprise. Full of minerals and sweet fruit flavors with a lot of creaminess. You can get a different flavor profile in each sip. Could have a stronger agave presence but a great value at this price.

NOM 1580 | Aroma: I get a good amount of cooked and fresh agave up front. There’s a little hint of brown sugar, molasses coming through. I pick up a little citrus, like stewed lemon. There is a pop of bright and raw.. citrus. Flavor: cooked agave, citrus, baking spice, like baked yam, clove, a hint of cinnamon. I get that raw, fresh agave I think in the flavor as well. It’s a nice pop of freshness that brings some complexity. I’m picking up some spearmint and anise on the back of my palette that I really enjoy. A little alcohol on the back end. Finish: Nice. Not super long but the agave fades nicely. Not much alcohol present at any point. No real tingle. Overall: this is a gem. Reminds me a little of El Tesoro. Lots of cooked agave, fresh, clean. Got this for $38 in Palm Springs. It’s a steal at that price.

NOM 1079 Unmistakable earthy NOM 1079 blanco. Warm oily feel with lots of agave, Bazooka Joe, pear, touch of granny Smith coming through nicely. Floral and fruit with sweet agave lingering nicely. Excellent stuff.

NOM 1580 | Appearance: crystal clear with thin, slow tears yet a viscous mouthfeel. Aroma: mineral forward with unripe agave. Vegetal - reminiscent of raw broccoli and cauliflower and under-mature pea pods. Palate: initially hot. Lots of white and black pepper, respectively. Notes of lemon leaves and lime leaves. Not a ton of agave present. Finish: It’s long with a piney, sappy, bitter finish. Like pine needles. At 40%, it presented “hot” and the natural notes of the process didn’t seem to shine through here.

The distillery has roots dating back to 1865, when Don Miguel Orozco Navarro founded it. The Distillery is located in Jesús-Maria, which is Jalisco's highest elevation town at nearly 7000 feet! For a long time, the distillery was a supplier of Agaves and making Distillates for others. In 2003, they launched Herencia Mexicana as their first Distillery Brand. Originally the Distillery was NOM 1079, but changed to NOM 1580 after changing ownership in 2013. The Agaves used for production are grown in the red earth soils in an area that produces sweeter Agaves as a result of sufficient rains. Once harvested the Agaves are Cooked in a Traditional Stone/Brick Oven for 48 Hours. After cooking, Roller Mills are used for extraction. The extracted Juices are then placed in Stainless Tanks for Fermintation before being Twice distilled in Copper Pot Stills. Aroma: Cooked Agave that is Earthy start this off. A very prominent Lemon Citrus is also at the forefront. The Minerality of this is very easy to take in. Cinnamon and Black Pepper hold those notes down. A very Vegetal, Herbal, and Grassiness aroma are also present. Raw Agave and Butter can be detected. Taste: Sweet Agave and Lemon Citrus rush the Palate. Black Pepper and a Cinnamon Spiciness runs close behind. The Minerality and Earthiness flavors let you know this is an agricultural product! There is plenty of Vegetal and Herbal quality to this. Finish: A short run of Sweet Agave, Lemon, Black Pepper/Cinnamon and the Earthiness take this out. Salud! TMM 84 Herencia Mexicana Blanco

NOM 1580 | Nose: honey, pepper Mouth: light viscous , light heat Flavor: mild. White pepper Finish: brief, no burn Even though there isn’t a lot of depth or layers of flavor, I kept reaching for it.

NOM 1580. Some minerality, cement in smell. Some sweetness, minerality, grassiness on taste. Nice finish but could be better. Very oily on glass and enjoyable with good specs. I'd say this has aroma notes of Siete Leguas, taste of Arette 101 with some notes of Cascahuin. | After letting it sit several months, getting some prominent vanilla.

NOM 1580 | Lovely minerality with citrus taste

NOM 1580 | Picked up at TW for $27.99! This is the tequila bargain of the century. Well made, agave forward with a med-long pleasant finish. I love this blanco!

NOM 1580 | This stuff has a unique flavor that I like. I’m primarily a Margarita drinker, and this is my second bottle, and would definitely recommend it.

NOM 1580 - sometimes I like to explore and buy non-hype brands, with a little research I ran into herencia mexicana, it is just Woow , what a nice surprise, aroma is citrus fresh, peppery and lemon with tons of agave, flavor is agave upfront, mild mint with little alcohol and tingle, viscous mouth feel, medium finish, very very enjoyable. You can easily relate to El Tesoro blanco.

NOM 1580 | Very pleasant blanco with plenty of agave and a nice long finish. Not much complexity but a good mouth feel and aroma. Touch of lemon. The finish really lingers with an earthy agave flavor. Definitely will buy again.

NOM 1580 | Very agave forward. That cooked agave just jumps at you! Delicious.

NOM 1580 | Hello flavor! Picked this up for $40. The finish was the only subpar rating I could give this tequila. All is well, and then, a pinch that feels bitter and sour in my throat. Honest to God, not a big deal, I’ll buy this bottle again and again. I just found the inconsistency from the nose, to flavor, to finish, a little jarring.
