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

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 | 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 | Aroma is very vegetal and herbal (celery, mint, wet grass) and earthy with agave and mineral backing. Flavor hits with a white pepper spice first then evolves to add cooked agave, hay, flowers, cantaloupe, and rain. Finish is medium-long and is dominated by sour apple, cracked pepper, with some agave sweetness

This one's not bad. Definitely tasting Bannana. It's pretty easy to drink

NOM 1499 | Good juice for the price, was surprised by the quality.

NOM 1499 | Good aroma, nice flavor, very solid

NOM 1499 | Dusty aftertaste

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

NOM 1499 | One of new favorite finds…solid purchase in the $50 range…let it sit over a large cube, great sipping tequila.

NOM 1499 | Not a ton of flavor, but incredibly smooth

NOM 1499 | Balanced aroma with a hint of spice and alcohol notes. Smooth and sippable with a small hint of spice on the finish.

NOM 1499 | First try was disappointing. Hope it grows on me. On the nose there is a funk. Maybe it’s the acacia cask. On the palate, cooked agave. Fresh-clean, but an unnecessarily weird funky sweet baby sick barnyard stale water note. Can’t put my finger on but not digging it. Not cloying like an additive bomb, but there is something weird going on with either the water or the barrel. Medium finish.

NOM 1499 | $75

NOM 1499 | Just got a bottle of tequila , a little pricey but worth it. Great sipper over a cube or two of crystal clear ice.

NOM 1499 | The aroma was a light citrus and mild agave. The flavor and finish are where this product shines. I get soft agave and pepper with a touch of spice and minimal sweetness on the short finish. An outstanding, easy drinker. I recommend highly.

NOM 1499 | Aromas of butter, cinnamon, pineapple, candied lemon peel, and caramel. A surprising lack of agave character for a reposado. Still very pleasant but I'd guess this was an anejo if I was tasting it blind. Lots of oak influence on the palate. Oak, vanilla, and clove are the first flavours I get. Some tropical fruit and citrus going on as well, and just a touch of cooked agave in the finish. The finish is long and slightly bitter with lots of baking spice and a hint of cooked agave. Despite not having loads of cooked agave flavour, I really like this reposado. Retail is $120 Canadian here in Alberta, which makes it one of the most expensive repos on the shelf, but it is spectacular! If this was sub $100 it'd be 90+, easily.

NOM 1499 | The aroma is unique. A hint of dirty socks and spices, at first, then mellowing onto something earthier and fruitier - which I can’t quite put my finger on. The mouthfeel is bordering on creamy, and it is delightful when paired with the complex flavors. One of my favorite presentations of agave to my palate I have ever experienced. I feel an infatuation coming on. Just fantastic.

NOM 1499 | On the nose: Initially detect light agave, oak, butterscotch, honey and pepper. Letting this sit in the glass, i detect floral notes, vanilla, clove and cinnamon. Sweet, light and balanced. On the palate: Sweet and peppery agave, oak, and cinnamon. Wonderful. Just the right amount of sweet and crispness. The finish is long and is as dimensional as the first sip. This is what every reposado should aspire to be. Balanced, crisp, and complex.

NOM 1499 | toasty flavors. little spice. i find myself returning to this
