NOM 1602 | Lots of astringency, a little bit of hay/straw, then an artificial cake like vanilla. The nose is probably the best aspect of this pour, and that’s not saying much; it’s all downhill from there.

NOM 1590 | Nose: Ripe fruity aromas, barrel spices, and some earthy notes. Flavor: Flavors follow the aromas. Semi oily sweetness, moderate barrel spice, a hint of almonds and a touch of pepper. Nothing offensive here, but pretty much cookie cutter. Finish: A little caramel with pepper blooming at the tail end.

NOM 1590 | Really didn’t make much of an impression, seems like it is trying to be non offensive and wound up being nothing at all.

Mexico version. Understated aroma. The flavor was far too sweet for my taste. There was a bit of a chemical bite to the finish. Made a mistake. This should never have been on my wish list.

NOM 1420 | Bottle from 2011. Big black pepper right on entry. After a couple of minutes in the glass it has a solvent nose, which I would consider a defect. The jewel top closure is the best thing about this bottle at the moment.

It doesn't taste bad, it just doesn't taste at all. Completely unremarkable!

So far the best I've ever had for the money. About $15 in Mexico

Very chemically and heavy on the minerality. Too harsh for my taste.

Light amber in glass. Initial aroma of cotton candy and a hint of vanilla. Favor of caramel and something else sweet. Hardly any finish. I'm guessing diffuser and additives.

NOM 1602 | Nutty

This tequila is one of the most affordable and popular in Mexico. Strong alcohol and agave flavour. Recommend serving neat straight from the freezer.

Tasted at Tanger Whiskey Fest. NOM 1602 Barrel spice, alcohol, vanilla on the nose. Same on the flavor. Again, uneventful albeit at a decent price

NOM 1590 | Pretty bottle. Ordinary, unremarkable tequila. Too sweet for a repo, a prevalent alcohol aroma. It’s not terrible, just not great

Don Raymon Reposado is a slight step up from the blanco. Similarly, it pours with a strong solvent Aroma. After some resting, the nose is strong in artificial vanilla. Black pepper, cooked agave and oak are there, but this is not very enjoyable. The mouthfeel is sweet yet astringent and harsh. Artificially smooth. Yuck.

NOM 1602 | 1602. Sampled this from a 50ml bottle. This is rough. Smell is just a tad better than the blanco, but barely. Too artificial and the aftertaste lingers horribly.

Smooth with light taste of oak.

It’s a good mixer

NOM 1602 | Butter aroma. Transitions into butterscotch in flavor with a strong alcoholic finish

very easy on the mouth, really subtle on the finish. a well balance tequila for the price tag

Thought it was gonna be good if any one recommends this one you could give it a try I mean everyone has different taste buds, but I think it was way too strong and not smooth at all

Earthy nose Very sweet Dry Salt and grass Short finish with almost no flavour

NOM 1590 | Nail polish remover Very little agave Green banana Flat on palate Acid not balanced (ripping) Salty

NOM 1602 | Light body, might be good for cocktails.

NOM 1602 | Sabor intenso, aunque, en mi concepto, ordinario.

NOM 1590 | Scent is pleasant (can smell the barrel) Slight spicy to the taste Excellent finish, smooth without burning going down.
