Stumbled onto this distillery after leaving Fortaleza. So I wasn’t expecting much. This is a place that the crazy tequila busses drop off loads of people. Our guide said it is one of the oldest distilleries in tequila. Only available in MX. The reposado was not good. Aroma and taste were so so at best. The finish was terrible—the kind of finish that gives tequila a bad name.
NOM 1507 Tequila Don Jesus blanco, Mexican 38% abv. version, lote: 01220220, bottled on 18-05-2023, tasted on 6-5-24. Aromas: hint of cooked agave, strong minerality or light metallic aroma, hint of earthiness, after 15 minutes in the glass I smell a hint of aromatic green vegetal note. But the strong mineral/metallic aroma now smells a little bit like stagnant water. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, on my retronasal I smell a whiff of unnatural sweetness with metallic sensation, not pleasant… Finish is medium, light metallic aroma through my retronasal, light minerality with a hint of green vegetal notes persists but not too long.
NOM1507, Mexican 38% abv. versión, lote: 130, bottled on 26-08-2022, oval shaped bottle, tasted on 6-2-24. Color: very light yellow. Aromas: light sweet cooked agave, light aromatic green vegetal notes, hint of resinous sweetness, hint of earthiness, hint of pepper spiciness, light citrus, light bodied but aromatic. Hint of fruitiness. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, feels just a tad hot from alcohol, but it balances out, hint of dirt aroma through my retronasal. Finish is medium, hint of sweet cooked agave, hint of aromatic green vegetal notes with hint of citrus notes persist.
Simply the best tequila I've ever had. A smooth flavorful taste no with no peppery flavor (which I do know sone people like). cleanest drunk I've ever had if that makes any sense, I could have done taxes and there was not even a little hangover... miracle tequila. I've only had it twice, and it's been hard to find... But I dream about it every year.

NOM 1507 Interesting profile. I enjoyed it a few years ago. Short finish, but still enjoyed it. Not sure what to make of it as I still get some agave, but its strangely sweet. Oh well, fuck it. In all transparency, it worked for me this time around.
