Story: The reposado expression of the ArteNOM series. Aroma: Honey, clear as day. Agave comes after, intermingled with vanilla, slightly floral. Pineapple. Definitely some ethanol, and a hint of butter cookie. Palate: Cooked agave, very prominent but soft vanilla. A gorgeous sweetness, and definitely a bit oily. It’s got a little heat on it, but It’s so soft, and I get a caramel note that comes in and out. Very long finish. Verdict: Buy. Absolutely love it. I have been lucking out with reposados lately, but I use the app a lot to find what I might like, so I can’t say I’m surprised. Still, this is a stunning reposado, I am very happy to have it in my collection and i have a strong feeling it won’t last long.

Vastly superior to General Gorostieta. Packs way more flavour and has a funky element that I really liked. A light reposado in the wood notes but heavy on the floral and funk. Very nice.

light, clean, and delicious

Love everything about this repo. Great balance. Light in style but cooked agave shows through with oak notes

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!

Straight up Agave, sweet the natural way. Well balance I like it a lot.

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.

Very good repo. It’s crisp, which i suppose means “thin,” but in a good way. The aroma and flavor profiles stand out, equally. I get baked agave, lettuce and asparagus on the nose. Palate has agave, vanilla and butter. Its quite floral which is representative of the terrior.

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.

Over priced. Paid $60. It’s not worth more than $35 at best. Far better options for that price. Its missing flavor. All I am getting is a bite at the end.

Black pepper and honey on the nose, thick mouthfeel, natural sweetness. Wonderful

Definitely more agave forward than the Anejos. I like the flavor better than the fragrance. Nice and smooth finish.

balanced reposado. slight orange. finish lingers. earthy/vanilla bean. light.

Really like this one. Cooked agave, we’ll balanced with vanilla and oak. Creamy finish of caramel. This now my favorite available in my area Repo. This is different and similar to Fortaleza. I think with food the Fortaleza is more open and laid back. For just sipping the 1414 is a tad more bold and a bit more flavorful.

Nose is soft and filled with cooked agave, vanilla and butterscotch. Mouthfeel is soft and supple with an oily texture. Flavors are agave and vanilla with wordiness in the background with a peppery finish.
