Blind rating 2/6/2024 NOM 1499 Aroma: an initial butter/cream aroma as soon as my nose got near the glass followed by a bright floral aroma. There’s a powerful orange aroma with an undertone of cooked agave and honey. There’s also a subtle herbal aroma with a hint of clove. Flavor: a buttery citrus flavor at first followed by some cardamom. There’s a slight cooked agave sweetness on the mid palate which is rounded out with almost like a lavender flavor. Finish: very short with no burn or warming sensation. Texture is medium to thin. It’s very silky and soft.

NOM 1412 | Tasted at a restaurant… It was bitter, astringent and metallic Will need to revisit later

At the bar: The aroma was so soft I couldn’t pick up many aromatic notes besides the lovely smell of indefinite agave, herbaceous and mineral freshness. The taste was, oak sweetness, cherry, and fresh water. The finish left with traces of floral and minerality. This Reposado is remarkable indeed and I look forward to having my personal bottle and marinating at home with it to explore its totality.

Nom 1499. Aroma, agave and burnt sugar forward with light wood and spice tones. Flavor, agave, wood sugars, light caramel, marshmallow. Tingly finish with more burnt sugar at the end. Not trying to be insulting but is a bit reminiscent of a Don Julio profile toward the end with the burnt sugary finish.

NOM 1499 | Not as much bang as the Blanco but still good and smoother.

NOM 1499 | 1st Review Not properly filtered and tequila was extremely muted. Will have to revisit again, tried at a bar so somewhat skeptical - Score 79/100 2nd Review - Score 84/100 I’m glad I revisited, profile has changed and I really enjoyed it. Banana/tropical fruits is a key factor in this tequila. It can be sipped, but I think it can greatly be used in mixology. Deducted points since it’s $70 where I’m located, overpriced for the overall experience (bottle, packaging, tequila profile)

NOM 1499 | This has a pleasant oily mouth feel with notes of light oak and pepper. What's interesting about this is that if you let this sit out for a little bit you'll start to pick up light hints of other flavors as well. Really well made.

NOM 1499 | Very nicely made Reposado, light wood notes, sweet agave, slight spice ....

NOM 1499 | Great aroma nice floral smell taste is nice and light, not overly oaky. A lot of good fruit notes. Great sipper. Really nice

NOM 1499 | Aroma : Watermelon and bananas with cinnamon, oak, cloves and vanilla. Taste : Peppery heat with cloves and cinnamon accompany the same fruity notes you get on the nose alongside creamy, sweet cooked agave. The texture is full and oily just like the Blanco. Finish : Long and crisp with good balance between sweet and spicy flavors.

NOM 1499 | Flowers, melon, vanilla, agave, sweet banana dominate the aroma. Melon, banana, flowers are at the front on flavor as well. Some oak and cooked agave follow. Citrus is present in the background too. Creme brulee noticably coats the sides of the tongue during the finish and retrohale. Medium finish. Points deducted in Value category for the $61 price tag for a repo and the glass "cork" stopper is horrendous. While I like it, I might not buy it again for those two reasons. The Blanco is a better value

NOM 1499 | Initial impression: The aroma is lacking for me, but it may be due to my cold and dry home. I'll have to reevaluate in the spring/summer. The flavor is interesting, quite soft, and but is mainly from the whiskey barrels. Finish is satisfactory. I was hesitant about this product due to the 3x distillation, but had heard good things and wanted to try for myself. The glass stopper is different. It will take some getting used to since it has a tight fitting rubber(?) gasket. I scraped the inside of the neck as I pulled the stopper out. Hopefully, I don't scratch or crack the glass, but that would be my fault, not the bottle design.

NOM 1499 | Nose: Agave sweetness, Floral, Clove, Nice barrel notes, Very ripe cantaloupe, The aroma of Banana Foster’s Flavor: Light Banana, Carmel, Citrus, White pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, and Cooked agave sweetness Finish: The finish is spicy , medium in length with the sweetness carrying through

NOM 1499 | Mijenta offers floral citrus on the nose. I’m tasting cinnamon, pepper, orange, banana, almond, honey, vanilla, and very light oak. It’s got an oily mouthfeel with a long sweet and spicy balanced finish. Very nice!

NOM 1499 | Nose: A delicate combination of warm spices with a touch of vanilla. Given a few minutes to open up, brings out guava, banana and cantaloupe aromas. A citrusy floral thread wends its way through the aromas. Flavor: The initial pepper, clove and cinnamon heat, mellows to share the show with buttery, silky almond cream and vanilla custard. Some green elements: cucumber and Serrano chiles. Plenty of agave and fruit playing strong supporting roles. Oak influence is merely a bit player on this stage. Finishes leaving an airy, delicate and elegantly balanced impression.

NOM 1499 | Nose of tropical fruit, cantaloupe, butter, clove, cinnamon, vanilla and pepper. Oily mouthfeel with nicely balanced sweetness. Very pleasant.

NOM 1499 - Beautiful packaging and a plus that the brand is environmentally & socially conscious. In addition to all of this, the reposado is delicious. Though experimental rather than strictly "traditional" in its aging process & the influence from the barrel and cask aging is clear, this reposado is definitively a tequila and not a whiskey. On the nose is cooked sweet agave and cinnamon, some citrus fruitiness & floral notes (though it's much less overtly floral than the blanco), caramel, vanilla, honey, & hints of chocolate with a peppery kick on the back-end. There are also hints of brûléed banana. The influence of the oak and acacia is evident. On the palate, the sweet cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, honey, & pepper are most prominent. The mouthfeel is buttery and there is decent, though not long-lasting, viscosity.

NOM 1499 | Very smooth tasting tequila. Great for sipping.

NOM 1412 | Very nice sipping reposado. There is a great agave presence with great barrel notes. Nose: cooked agave, oak, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper, and citrus. Palate: the nose really carries over to the palate. Cooked agave, oak, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper, and citrus. This is a really nice sipping reposado. Not very complex but still very enjoyable.

NOM 1412 | Nice, unique repo. Not often you see French Acacia barrels being used.

It's a higher end rep for sure but I don't think it warranted a $72 price tag.

smell of alcohol, wood and vanilla. some fruit. some peper. light on citrus. Taste is comparable. Closer to an anejo given the amount of wood. Use in a modified Tommy's margarita: mild oak and more pronounced vanilla. not much mineral. Doesn't compliment the citrus. I wanted to like this but there are so many better repos which are cheaper I'd pass on this unless you are leaning towards an anejo
