A good amount of vanilla on the nose. Tasting vanilla, oak, and (light) red hots. It’s an easy sipper that would be welcoming to newbies for the sweet notes and short finish.

NOM 1545 | Nose of oak and sweet vanilla with cooked agave. Light consistency and flavor with a sweet finish, has significant barrel influence for a reposado.

NOM 1529

NOM 1545 | Aroma: Vibrant nose. Abundant agave and lively barrel spices. Grilled pineapple and citrus, and a creamy vanilla soda aroma. The scent you pick up from a hot, dusty sidewalk after a summer rain. A vague note of yeastiness. Cedar shavings? Flavor: Vanilla and toffee, with a punchy mid tongue black pepper blast. Full of fruitiness, agave and creaminess. Finish holds some bitterness- but not to the level of a flaw. A warm, velvety, longish finish. Another nice sip in the series.

NOM 1433 | Tasted at La Cata. Nose: Caramel, pepper, big agave.

NOM 1433 | Flan, peppercorn, caramel, lemongrass

Scent is a mix of baked agave and ethanol. I wish there was less alcohol in the nose. A hearty viscous body but for whatever reason I get a hint of smokiness similar to mezcal. However, at $27 a bottle its an outstanding value. Would recommend to sip or mix as I did both.

Nom 1529

NOM 1545 | Mexican 40% abv. versión, lote: L1760D2L1, bottled on 22-07-2020, tasted on 4-19-24. Color: light yellow. Aroma: cooked agave with a hint of sweetness, light acidity, slightly herbaceous, hay, hint of vanilla and hint of wood note. Ends slightly dry. Through my restronasal I smell a hint of dry anise sensation. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, creamy and buttery. Finish is medium to medium long, cooked agave with a hint of sweetness, hint of fermenting cooked agave, hint of vanilla with a hint of wood note persists.

slightly smokey

Add a good squeeze of lime will bring out the flavor.

Aroma is agave and caramel Taste is pepper, oak and vanilla Finish is smooth & short

NOM 1545 | NOM 1545 The Repo is a step up from the blanco with some natural sweetness, baking spices, and a hint of cinnamon and caramel. Easy to sip, not complex, enjoyable. The Anejo is the winner of the NOM 1545 expressions in my opinion.

Oak

Aroma: cooked agave, alcohol, low vanilla Flavor: this is my favorite part, very well balanced between tequila and wood notes, very drinkable makes you want to have another sip. Finish: more black pepper than cinnamon but ends clean, nice aftertaste Overall: I would say very good especially compared to many of the mainstream popular tequilas like patron casamigos etc.. they come in right around the same money and this is definitely a better value. You can drink this one straight up or in a mix and either way you'll have a smile on your face.

NOM 1529 | Aroma: not very strong aroma but there is nice subtle cinnamon smell Flavor: something sweet very silky not much of a burn Finish: not much of a bite or heat sweet throughout

Calle 23 Reposado Thoroughly enjoyed this affordable ($41) sipper. Cooked agave, fruity, black pepper, cedar, and barrel spices. The nose is more evolved than the palate, yet both are extraordinary. A mild sweetness oak bitterness and peppery bite strike a wonderful balance. This is a beautiful spirit.

Aroma: Agave,slight wood,cinnamon, Taste:Cooked Agave,baking spice,bit of crème brûlée... This was a nice Reposado that gets the job done, neat was nice but with a ice cube or two opens it up.

NOM 1545 | flavor,taste is great. clear. dark Cherry.

Enjoyed this in Guadalajara. Cooked agave in both the aroma and flavor. A bit of black pepper and a smooth finish I prefer this to the Blanco which I also like.

Wonderful agave notes and light oak! Love the finish too, made me travel directly to my hometown. ¡Gracias! I either sip it or mix it in a Margarita

NOM 1529 | Very light Repo, slight caramel and agave note. Very easy to drink, not super complex. A very good sipper but since it is very light goes well in a well properly made cocktail.

Terrific butterscotch nose. Very thin mouthfeel, but wonderful flavours of agave, light oak, nuts, caramel, and spice. Surprisingly long finish. Very yummy! And what a value! A definite keeper, the thinness notwithstanding.

Great value for the $25 price on sale.
