light, clean, and delicious

In the glass it’s a nice clean pour with tight tears and coating. Perfectly clear with a light yellow tint. On the nose it’s got cooked agave up front, straw, yeast/sourdough, citrus, floral. The palate is fairly light but pretty complex and not overly viscous. Clean tasting agave, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla with a nice ethanol heat. Interestingly I detected little to no oak notes. The finish is a nice medium to long. Overall outstanding tequila and would highly recommend!

Aroma : Light agave, butter, caramel and pepper. Hints of banana and grass as well. Taste : The cooked agave is ever so light here, and there are notes of butterscotch, oak, and pepper that present a spicy and oily mouthfeel. Finish : Medium/long with a tasty sweet and spicy dynamic from light fruit and pepper. The flavor profile is slightly less refined than I would like, but even then this reposado can easily compete with more well known bottles you'll see on this app like expressions from El Pandillo and La Alteña.

Nose: A very unique grilled pineapple, butterscotch, tart lemon/orange entrance. Followed up with the scents reminding me of Grandma’s dank root cellar - very earthy and holding flinty mineral elements. A touch of barnyard funk (not a bad thing). Balanced barrel spices complement the up front agave aromas. The faintest hint of oak. Somewhat subdued aromas. Flavor: Silky, oily, buttery. Agave forward natural sweetness, robust pepper & spice, fruit, a muted pencil shavings note and creamy butterscotch all blend in a very balanced fashion. This tequila has character that doesn’t get in its own way.

ArteNOM 1414 I smell some cooked agave along with faint vanilla and caramel. The nose is light but there’s a lot going on in this glass. The flavors aren’t turned down. I taste sweet cooked agave along with creamy caramel, pepper and white oak. The finish is vey nice. The flavors linger on the back of my pallet. It’s a pleasant sipper.

Very herbaceous and bright on first sip with a pleasant, mild, slightly sweet finish. Has a lot of depth, agave is present from start to finish.

Smooth to the nose. No overwhelming “bite” of alcohol. Little sniffs of vanilla, hint of sweetness too. Taste is smoke forward, then sweet, then very smooth. A little bite at the end, but just enough. Overall well balanced and lingers in your mouth. Oak, chocolate, and smoke. Nice legs, full bodied. Excellent taste Finish has a bit of sweetness, but not overpowering. Little linger of smoke. Very satisfying finish.

Fruity

-tasted blind- Bright fruit aromas (melon, peach), mild mint and plenty of alcohol presence. Intriguing caramelized fruit flavors. Finish takes quite a journey - from sweet fruit to intense alcohol back to a mellowing sweet fruitiness.

Aroma: Agave and citrus. Flavor: Mellow but very good. Hints of caramel and agave. Finish: Nice long smooth finish. Value: Great product. Great concept. A little spendy but worth the price point.

This is a sexy tequila – warm, smooth, and a balanced combination of sweet and frisky. Aroma of agave and something else... vanilla, caramel, butterscotch? Something is starting and it entices you to continue. You bring it to your lips to find it sweet and tender, with a little bite. Is this but a tease? You draw it in and hold – the wet viscous warmth washes over you from the point of entry, down the spine. Your mouth begins to tingle with spice at the center and back as you taste a light touch of butterscotch. You are seduced. The experience lingers until you're unsure if you are still caught in it or merely enraptured in its memory. You return for more... Incredible, luscious, well balanced. A perfect marriage of agave and American oak, a light balance of sweet and spice.

Nice smooth aroma - sweet, butterscotch. Woody flavor with much more barrel flavor than a typical reposado. Very long finish...still tasting the flavor of this one after 3/4/5 minutes.

This tequila has a viscous mouth feel with rich flavors of mint, white pepper, and butter.

Extremely well done.

Nice baking spices & agave on the nose. Subtle barrel influence with cooked agave, vanilla, jalapeño. Spicy lil devil!

Very light agave aroma with light caramel and vanilla flavor. Finish is warm but not harsh.

OK, I don’t know if this is a 96, but it’s the best Reposado I’ve had. Great taste and finish - impossible to just have one.

Aroma - butter, cooked agave Flavor - cinnamon, butter, sweet agave Finish - oily, lingering, white pepper at the very end

Buttery soft, fruity nose. Cinnamon up front. Slight pepper,

Sweet smell with strong cinnamon flavor. Slight burn but dissipates pretty quickly.

Took a few sips to really enjoy. Apple pie spices on the nose, slight peach and citrus note on the tongue. Pepper and warm finish

WoW ! This is like the best reposado I have ever tasted, regardless of the price . Seriously. So alive with agave and slight barrel notes. Plus some tropical fruit and heat . The folks at nom 1414 really did wonders with this one . Superb ! Salud !

Great aroma with notes of agave and vanilla. This is a really enjoyable sipper.

agave definitely comes through on this one

Original post- Loads of pepper... pretty good after a couple of sips. Can taste some oak, slight cinnamon and a lil vanilla. Different but nice After trying again I let it air out and it was fantastic. The third time was even better. Has moved into my top 10 easily. Make sure you let it air out for about 10-15min to let it express itself. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.
