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.
