NOM 1559 | The aroma is notes of caramel, whiskey, and vanilla, complemented by oak. There is a distinct grape/cherry cough syrup medicinal tone that mingles with alcohol, creating a slight astringent bitterness. The taste unfolds with layers of oak, chocolate, caramel, and whiskey. The agave’s prune note is present, but an off-putting cherry medicinal note and alcohol stand out. There are buttery undertones, hints of banana, a slight astringency, tobacco, and cooked sweet potato, all woven together with a noticeable but tolerable alcohol presence. On the exit, there is a slight spice and medicinal note, intertwined with vanilla, banana, and tobacco hints that linger during the fade, all wrapped up with a touch of butterscotch.

NOM 1559 | Odd nose, not much of a nose to it. Palate isn’t terrible but definitely not something I’m grabbing for

NOM 1559 | Overall ok. Finish has some bitterness that I don’t like.

aroma and flavor where nothing exceptional, but were not bad. aroma shows more than expected with agave, oak and some citrus spice. flavor did not have much depth, but the aroma carries through. light - medium mouth feel with a very short finish. average reposado at a very good price point

NOM 1559 | Average at best .

NOM 1559 | Was not crazy about this repo, very different nose and finish. Not my flavor profile. Would not recommend this as a sipper, perhaps as a cocktail base

NOM 1559 | Nose: Caramel, earthiness, baked agave, cinnamon and cloves. This delivered more than I expected. Flavors: Thin in the mouth. Pepper and sugary sweetness. This loses some of the subtlety of the nosing. Finish quickly fades away with no fanfare.

Agave, oak, vanilla from nose to finish

NOM 1559 | Still hot and punchy, just with some vanilla in tow. Not worthy of a place in the home collection but great for cocktails.

Rated blind. I think the marketing is better than the product. Not bad, not great, just average.

NOM 1420 | Bottle date is 2004. Caramel and oak blend with agave in this older Milagro offering. Glad for some good fitting natural corks, newer brands could learn something.

Understated flavors and aroma of agave, oak and citrus. Body a bit thin and finish a bit short. Priced right. ($28)

I rate this well because it's cheap and good.

Chemical on the nose and bitter on the palate. Still somewhat better than I expected.

Nothing special, but a good classic reposado.

This is great. Banana, butter, and smooth.

I'd rather spend my $40 on something else.

Agave still underlies the aroma but barrel characteristics of caramel and chocolate show up subtly...nice.

NOM 1420 | Bottle top and lower part color shade is light brown, stamped: 070803, is probably the bottling date and below that: 00000:1:TQ11:2:1, 40% abv., tasted on 11-29-24. Color: yellow to slightly light yellow. Aroma: cooked agave, light wood note, hint of vanilla, light acidity, hint of herbaceousness, hint of acidity. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, wood note is quite dominant on the palate, thick mouthfeel. Finishes slightly bitter. Finish is medium to medium long, light cooked agave, light acidity, hint of citrus with slightly dominating wood note persists.

Alcohol and oak nose and alcohol taste with some vanilla carmel and artifical sweetner taste.

NOM 1559 | Sweet caramel and vanilla flavor with whiskey aftertaste. Somewhat medicinal finish.

smooth

NOM 1559 | Mexican 35% abv. versión, marbete is from 2007, no lot codes seen, tasted on 8-16-24. Color: very light yellow. Aroma: light cooked agave, light vanilla, hint of earthiness, hint of acidity, hint of citrus, aromas are present but subtle. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, but it is very subtle on the palate, maybe because this tequila has been partially oxidized, this bottle is 1/4 full at the time when I tasted it. Finish is short to medium, hint of cooked agave, hint of vanilla with hint of citrus note persists but not too long.

NOM 1559 | For $19 a liter at Costco, how can I complain? It’s not terrible and you can sip it. It’s a bit thin, and there is a prevalent alcohol aroma and flavor, but it has a bit of agave and oak character. I would buy it again at this price. Two extra points for value.

Lot of depth in the oak, very dry and you can taste history here. Barely taste the agave at all though. An acquired taste for sure, but unique and surprisingly to me worth picking up to sip.
