NOM 1258 | On the nose I get sweet cooked agave, cinnamon citrus - specifically orange. Alcohol On the palate this has a nice burst of sweet agave. Jalapeño Pepper, citrus, again orange. It is vegetal and earthy. Not super complex but a good sipper.

NOM 1258 Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Cooked Agave, Orange Rind, Grapefruit, Hay, and Cinnamon. Palate: Pepper, Grass, Orange Blossom, Minerality Finish: Anise, Grass, Petrochor/ Cement, Limestone. Throughout this sipping experience, there has definitely been an influence of minerality. That influence increased exponentially from the nose to finish. Meanwhile, vegetal and citrus notes also remained a constant all the way through. Undoubtedly, this makes a great sipper, but it's also got everything that makes the perfect paloma; a minerality to compliment the salt and a citrus-floral element that mingles well with the Grapefruit.

NOM 1258 | Nice bottle, their mezcal tends to be overpriced but this is priced well in mexico for an additive free tequila. The nose is very muted but I really liked the intensity of cooked agave. Also would make a nice gift, I recommend it.

NOM 1258 | So, I ordered The Lost Explorer months ago, and I finally decided to open it—actually forgot I had it! I was surprised. It isn’t bad at all. It tastes better than it smells. Nose: cooked agave 100%, slight sweetness—citrus, wet dirt—vegetable notes, slight alcohol smell. Palate: cooked agave, slightly sweet-citrus peppery/cinnamon, vegetable notes, low alcohol taste.

NOM 1258 | Super heavy nose all Agave and no room for anything else. Taste is wonderfully sweet on the corners of the tongue and in the finish. Lots of cinnamon and citrus. I won’t buy it again but I wouldn’t stop someone from buying it… decently priced at the quality level.

Valley tequila on the nose and palate. Cooked agave, citrus, brine, herbs and pepper. Taste has plenty of spicey elements that linger on the tongue so it was surprisingly lacking heat on the way down. Nice drink though.

NOM 1258 | I really like this one. I got a great smell of cooked agave citrus aroma and some faint cinnamon. I did also after waiting a little while got a little bit of that wet concrete smell. On the taste I was really impressed with the taste of agave the citrus and the cinnamon that I got in the finish . This was a very clean fresh Blanco definitely a good drinker!

NOM 1258 | Nose has a very clean citrus aroma, faint cinnamon Taste furthers the citrus and cinnamon with a very clean water that has a nice velvety texture. Some spice n herb tones. Very nice blend. Flavors bounce all around with every sip. Mid length finish with zest

Just had this for the first time. It was recommended to me by the bartender at Don Artemio in Fort Worth. He gave me samples of three different Mezcals. This one had a unique flavor so I chose it. It took me a second to figure out the aroma and taste. It has a very clean aroma and a very smooth taste. I finally figured it out that it has an apple and a fresh fruit taste and aroma. This is different than most of the citrus aroma and flavors that you pick up in a lot of mezcal. Smooth drinking, clean taste, and great finish. I would recommend and buy again.

NOM 1258 | Slight grassiness on the nose. Palate met with a grapefruit and thick honey viscous texture with a very spicy pepper finish.
