NOM 1586 | Oak forward. Tastes like whiskey. For my money I’ll shop differently.

NOM 1558 | Apparently this on one of those brands that just gets better the longer you age it, I usually find the opposite to be true. I like this tequila because it’s balanced, it’s got enough sweet to counter the heat and earthy tones. A bit too sweet to be elite for me but a great effort, I recommend it.

NOM 1586 | Initial nose is fruit and spices. Undertones of earthiness and a different almond - cheese note. Cinnamon and berries follow. Flavors: Bold baking spice, licorice, medium pepper and heat, followed up with fruit and almonds. Nice in the mouth. Finish: Longish and balanced.

NOM 1414 | I have had this NOM 1414 bottle for some years and the juice inside is still great thanks to synthetic cork technology. 1414 is best known for a number of outstanding reposado tequilas and this anejo builds on that work. Nice barrel spice and a moderately sweet finish make this one of the better Chamuco expressions for a tequila that has moved a lot in the 8 or 9 years since it came to market. Buy these 1414 bottles when you find them in the wild.

Notes of caramel and oak, very slight burn on the finish

NOM 1501 | A little soft on the nose, with notes of caramel and vanilla. Sweet entry, turning a little spicy. Decent finish.

Super mellow on the nose and it's almost hard to decipher. It has hints of cherry and almond. Nice smooth flavor that tastes a bit like vanilla. Nice long finish. A very mellow Anejo that's definitely worth the price tag. NOM 1558

Strong nose of pepper and agave. Later aromas of almond, cherry and coconut. Flavor matches aroma nearly identically with almond and cherry becoming much more evident. Finishes like it starts...nice.

NOM 1586 | Light colored añejo almost like a reposado. Easy on the nose, alcohol and oak, spicy bitter burn that lingers for a while, decent semi sweet finish. Not a bad price for an añejo.

Fruity, oak and butter in the aroma. Flavors of cooked agave, carmel and butterscotch. The finish is long with a clove, roasted nut taste.

cinnamon up front, nice mouth feel, a little alcohol burn, medium finish.

NOM 1586 | Sweet clean finish

aroma is really good with some mandolin like. allover quality is fine but there is no strong punch and uniqueness.

My wheelhouse. This can be confused for an extra anejo if one isn't looking. Not overly sweet. Nice, toasty agave with a hint of Celaya Cajeta. This is just EQ'd perfectly for my tastes. I'll take this and Alquimia Anejo as my two current favorite weekend sippers for the money. I'm open to suggestions!

Late taste is great “If I had training wheels”

NOM 1586 | A little camphor

NOM 1586 | A very one dimensional anejo. Decent flavor, but nothing that stands out. Fruity, somewhat flat. No wonder it's a $35 anejo.

NOM 1586 | Sweetness 4/5 Bitterness 1/5 Spiciness 4/5

NOM1586 Light colored for an anejo. Thick in the glass with good legs. Nice wood spice with some alcohol on the nose. Taste is a little spicy with barrel goodness that sticks around in a good way. Nothing scary about this good anejo.

fruity aroma, scotch like, warming

Vanilla, caramel. certainly has a nice aroma. Rough on the finish.

NOM 1501 | NOM 1501. Smooth sweet subtle.

Sweet fruity without noticing a specific fruit - aroma horrible but flavor yummy

NOM 1501 | NOM 1501.

NOM 1414 | NOM 1414.
