NOM 1472 Quite bourbon forward and nothing like the reposado which is aged in French oak. This opens up quite a bit after sitting for 10-15 minutes in the glass and brings caramel, barrel spice and some agave to the table.
NOM 1472 Nicely spicy from the 49.5% ABV the majority is from the French oak this spends its time in.
Nice green pepper nose. Hot in the mouth initially due to 99 proof. Quite long tongue buzzing/numbing finish. Sweetness that lingers after the numbing subsides.
For a high proof tequila, this is interesting. The nose is not really telling of what is to come. The flavor somehow manages to overpower the high proof, and the finish lingers pleasingly. This is a good choice as a sipper,
