NOM 1500 | Nose: Vanilla, dark cherry, jammy berries and dried apricot. Hard apple cider? Flavors: Rich ripe agave, brown barrel spices, fruity with a whisper of licorice. Great barrel spice, pepper pop, caramel and vanilla.

NOM 1500 | Sweet roast agave, caramel and some viscosity in the mouth make this a tasty, spicy reposado.

NOM 1500

Herbal, citrus, floral, and pineapple aromas are the notes that I notice. From the light-buttery appearance, and that the nose seems soft, yet does not have a lot of heavy oak notes, I’d bet that these barrels have seen a few fills in their day. And there is nothing wrong with that. A lot of producers prefer old barrels for tequila as it helps to balance to wood and the agave. This repo is a great example of finding that balance. With my first sip, my palate is blindsided by the amount, and intensity of spice in this tequila. It is shortly followed by the earthy core of the agave. Going back to the nose, all the spices are laughing at me for not noticing them the first time, as they are very predominate now! While not as complex as the blanco, the finish may be a bit longer. Once again, this is a nice example of a traditional tequila, yet soft and "sophisticated". An easy sipper, yet would make some great cocktails - inside, and outside of the margarita box.

NOM 1500 | NOM 1500; nice nose, vanilla & caramel notes; warm agave, more caramel across the tongue; slight agave, I’d like more pepper, just a tad too sweet; more honey notes on the backend; at less than $40 USD, this is a solid deal.

Tasted along with the blanco and anejo. Faint nose and decent mouthfeel. Finished with strong agave and black pepper. Need to try again but didn’t like it as much as the blanco on initial tasting.

First tasting of this one was good, has good flavors with a fairly spicy, peppery finish. Somewhat similar to Siete Legusas in flavor and finish. This was popular among our tasting group. On sale for $33 locally.

Quality tequila with a light touch of wood. The character of the blanco still shines through.
