A touch of alcohol, pineapple, lemon juice aromas Palate is wonderful. VERY citrusy, sweet tropical fruit… Finish is soft and clean as a whistle. Cooked agave flavor profile fades slowly.

NOM 1588 | Tasted Quinta Don Jose with Charlie. Good all around with nothing bad. The aroma took a while to open up. It good with cooked agave. The taste is solid with some black pepper on the back end. Finish is good and replays the cooked agave nicely.

NOM 1588 | This blonco isn’t as viscous as the HP however it packs a little punch like the HP on the first few sips. After a couple you start to taste more of the agave, citrus/ fruitiness (like melon) and little minerality that flows right into a slight bitterness (not off putting) with corse pepper on the backend that stays for a while. This is one that really do gets better with every sip. Very nice

Aroma of agave and minerals. Flavor of cooked agave and black pepper. Medium finish. Nice sipper but nothing special.

NOM 1588 | Agave and minerals on the nose. Flavor bring agave, heavy minerals, earth, and some light jalapeño with a medium finish that brings a slight tingle. Decent value as a sipper and mixer. Very nice.

small sample cooked agave /sweet potatoes, minerals, pepper, some anise, tiny bit of brine. well balanced, easy sipper

A –A musty start (mushroom, yeast, olive, etc.) in the aroma phase. There’s cooked agave, licorice, and a small dose of vanilla. A moment of apple/pear on the nose, which was nice. In addition to the alcohol, I picked up another chemical scent, maybe rubber? It isn’t a bad smell, but not my favorite of the tasting session.   T – Baking spices and licorice/anise, a blend of raw and cooked agave. I’m tasting black tea and black pepper. The peppermint and vanilla combo is interesting. F – Following the theme of the taste, I’m almost getting a chai tea vibe, had all the elements of ginger, cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and tea. Overall – This is a solid blanco, but not my favorite.

Aroma: All cooked agave up front, like a freshly opened agave oven, coupled with cinnamon and a clean minerality throughout. Taste: Light and creamy sweetness, cooked agave and notes of sugar cane. Finish: A burst of cooked agave, citrus, and black pepper. The most notable part was a lingering aftertaste of the aforementioned flavors that seems to coat not only the tongue, but the roof of the mouth as well.

NOM 1588 | Nice nose of cooked agave, lemon, and more of a tropical vibe like coconut or pineapple. If you blindfolded me I could be convinced it’s a mai tai. Mouthfeel is a little thicker than usual, and tastes of cooked agave, lemon, lime, but a little bit of acetate note that I don’t enjoy. Finish loses that flavor and is pleasantly long, and citrus forward.

Cooked agave, apple, pear, and floral notes. Very surprised to see this tequila at $19 a bottle..amazing value!

Blind tasting: Agave, hay, and sawdust on the nose. Flavor bring agave and some light jalapeño with a medium finish that brings a slight tingle. Nothing too bold but not too light. Extreme value.

Aroma: clean and plain. Alcohol. Not even much agave Taste: very plain. I dont get much of anything. Almost like licking steel… which isnt bad? Raw agave maybe Finish: short. Watery. Not unpleasant but not anything to get excited about This almost tastes like a kirkland or espolon Tres agaves??

NOM 1588 | NOM1588 - Tequilas El Mexicano Hecho en Arandas Jalisco The clean scent of cooked agave jumps out of my Stölzle Jarrito tasting glass. As I continue to nose this Blanco the clean agave scent turns buttery. There are faint hints of minerality, lime, pepper, anise, muted mint and fresh herbs. The peppery agave makes itself known right away. There’s a slight agave sweetness and some alcohol burn along with white pepper. There are some slight vegetal notes in the background. On the finish your have some lingering buttery agave and a peppery capsaicin mouthfeel. This affordable Blanco is a fun sipper and an excellent choice for craft cocktails. Salud!

NOM 1588 | Grass notes. nice agave aroma. pepper little heat, rough finish. not bad for the price. Repo is preferred

Nose- agave, grassy and vegetal, clay, minerals. Taste- cooked agave, minerals, melon, cinnamon, citrus, and a little bit of sweetness. Thin mouth feel. Finish- sweetness quickly fades leaving just a touch of cinnamon heat. Value- $40 in Michigan so it's a decent value! Updated review from a blind tasting - lol N- agave, nutmeg, green apple T- toasted agave, apple, bell pepper MF- medium body F- long peppery finish

Earth and mushroom on the nose. This has more viscosity than most and a quite sharp ethanol presence with some natural agave sweetness. Fades to a vegetal/savory taste that totally speaks to the nose.

NOM 1588 | Served in a Nos’r stainless steel nosing glass. Nose is mint, agave, and light citrus. Light body, floral and citrus notes with a touch of cinnamon and pepper. A little thin and the finish isn’t incredibly complex but the mild and enjoyable heat lingers on the roof of the mouth. Super pleased with this at $299 pesos

NOM 1588 | Aroma: agave, fruitty, floral, minerals, slight mint Flavor: apgave, spicey Finish: medium, tongue tingly NOM 1420

NOM 1588 | 38% ABV Mexican release Invigorating nose: Fruity and floral with a toasted nutty feel to the agave that is prominent. There are earth and mineral notes and the aroma of sweet fennel resting in a musty root cellar. Also, baking spice and pepper make this an interesting nosing. Flavors: Initial burst of bold cinnamon and jalapeño. Followed up with with a balancing act of creamy almond paste, vanilla and white pepper zing. It coats the mouth in a rich fashion. This picks up a couple of points on value. A very nice bargain tequila.

NOM 1588 | Pleasant minty aroma, oily body and great price! ($19). Only downside- can detect stainless steel process in sharpness, especially in the finish. A little copper would greatly improve this.

NOM 1588 | Wow, a $19 Blanco that delivers significant bang for the buck. Has a bit of a funky almost lactic aroma. Feels super thick and oily in the mouth. The finish ends slightly rough but still pleasant.

NOM 1588 | This is a blanco true to the finish, it’s clean cooked agave up front with slight citrus herbal minerally notes and finishes a lot more minerally than herbal which I found very pleasant and smooth.

NOM 1588 | Agave, minerality, and black pepper. Picked up the whole lineup for 19 dollars each. Bought some for my wine maker (he’s an avion guy but he can change, I hope…) keep your eyes open. Someone is randomly dumping product and I have found a few gems.

NOM 1588 | Love El Mexicano. It's a bit mellow on the nose. Some cooked agave but not very obvious or complex. This changes once it hit my mouth though. Vegetal. High minerality. Pepper and spice. Such a great viscous after taste. And did I mention what a bargain it is?

NOM 1588 | LOT: MEXNAL10-11-21 View: totally transparent, good tear adhesion. Freshly served; Aroma: mineral and herbal. Flavor: Agave sweetness, a little lemon grass. Not too complex but pleasant.
