Nose has honey, vanilla and caramel, with light agave. Entry tends to sweet with black pepper spice. Bitterness creeps in mid-palate, spreading nicely to the roof of the mouth. Nutty finish lingers for an acceptable time, finally turning to dark cocoa. This is an easy sipping bargain.
Pretty standard aroma of agave, cinnamon, and alcohol. Taste starts mellow with agave, vanilla, cinnamon and grass that transitions into a finish that starts smooth but ends with a slight bite.
3 Amigos Reposado follows their wonderful blanco with an entry that doesn't quite measure up. Affordable ($29 @ Total Wine) and easy to mix or sip, this is a great value tequila. Nose: Alcohol on the initial pour, that dissipates only to have the nose almost completely disappear after some time un the glass. The initial draw is light cooked agave, carmel, oak, vanilla and baking spices. Toasted almond, orange citrus, and tobacco on the back end. Taste: Oak bitterness and a big bite of peppery heat. Mouthfeel is thin and the bitterness takes away from the cooked agave, oak, and bajing spices. I get hints of toasted coconut and chocolate. Finish: Long heat and a bit of bitterness on the finish.
bit of additive taste towards the end. begins great tastes well on the tongue but bad finish unfortunately. maybe good for a mixer
I had an initial reaction of additives. This is a nice repo but not at the level you can find. Perhaps my bias against additives. The aroma has vanilla, soft floral smells and alcohol on deep inhalation. The taste is sweet and smooth. A medium long finish with small late burn. I wonder why the organic blanco is good, the regular blanco is bad, and the repo is ok. Maybe someone needs a better chemistry degree.
NOM 1499 | Agave Peppercorn Spice
NOM 1499 | Aroma: alcohol, caramel, agave. Flavor: alcohol opening followed by , caramel with a hint of agave. Finish: burning aftertaste. Opinion: I don’t understand why all the fuss about this tequila, I will say that are better tequilas at the same price point. I won’t buy it again.
agave is somewhat masked on the aroma by vanilla, caramel and wood. agave shows a bit more ankle in the flavor but still too much vanilla and caramel for me, with the wood still present. very short finish. not going in the direction I like (moving from blanco to reposado), so I'm not inspired to try the anejo. tough to recommend, even at the reasonable price
NOM 1499 | Aroma Alcohol followed by oak. Taste Alcohol followed by artificial sweetness and oak.
NOM 1499 | Oily and unpleasant. Not a fan of this brand based on their anejo and reposado.
Cooked agave and alcohol and dried fruit give it a kinda spoiled aroma. Earthy, agave, oak and a hint of caramel in the mouth. Black pepper and a tobacco burn with a slight sweetness in a short finish.
Much nicer nose than the blanco, agave comes through but still pretty hot. Decent amount of cooked agave on the palette, finish is a bit dry but it does sort of balance the heat.
Had to order this from California. Not available in FL. I would buy if it were here due to the $20 price tag. Not bad. Right up there with Espolon for the same money.
Aroma is sweet and floral Flavor is full, smooth and hints of vanilla Finish is smooth, the more it sits the better it tastes Great value at $34
Didn't care for the finish on this one. Found it sort of bitter.
Grassy, buttery nose with some alcohol. Sweet, mild oak, mild butterscotch flavor with mild burn. Medium thin texture. Relatively fast, but pleasant finish with no bitterness.
First of all this is a really affordable tequila! 25-35$. This being said, I really like this tequila. Starting with the aroma I could smell this all day, sweet notes of floral scents and Carmel. Did not expect this from a reposado. Flavor is very smooth with medium heat. Finish is average but still a sippable tequila. For the price it's worth a try.
El Olor: Not noticeably strong or overpowering but nice and light and fragrant. Hints of agave, citrus, and a floral note hidden in there. El Sabor: Is there chocolate in this? I keep getting a dark sweet smooth something. Almost like vanilla, allspice or clove with honey and nutmeg. Not sure if this is tequila or some infused tequila liqueur. Very nice and well balanced. I'm guessing white oak casks and possibly previously used for sherry. El Final: Really smooth and easy. This is a great tequila to give to a new aficionado. Easy on the pallet with a long smooth finish. Medium body and great caramel sugars that linger.
pleasant to sniff with buttery vanilla aromas. Super smooth initial taste starting with a well balance of agave and vanilla/oak and then moving into the peppery finish.
Just average tequila. Not bad for the buy. Better to mix than sip. Good margarita mixer.
Not bad
I'm always on the look out for the next great budget tequila. With this entire line being under $30 at many places, I thought for sure it was worth a look.

What in the f**k did they do to this to make it so outrageously delicious with such average Blanco?!? The most surprising and random evolution in a barrel I’ve ever seen, I’m guessing that 1% additive went a long way here. Tastes like candy, it’s good.
