On the nose, the agave is hidden behind an explosion of citrus and floral notes. Pepper, herbs, and citrus keeps popping up. On the palate, delicious sweet citrus and agave. That floral note is very present. So much citrus, a little bit of minerality, but agave and citrus are the stars of the show. Excellent tequila. Very good offering from 1579. I bought a 375ml but I’ll commit to a full size soon, very very good stuff.

On the nose, a combination of citrus zest and freshly cooked agave. A very clean aroma of minerality. Slightly sweet across the palate, very agave forward. The finish is a punch of vegetal agave and alcohol. Very clean and easy to drink, but not particularly noteworthy compared to other quality blanco tequilas.

Nose- Agave, bell pepper, mint, and some minerality hanging around. Taste- Cooked agave, honey, floral and herbal at times. Faint cinnamon spice. Mouth feel is full bodied Finish- Long and spicy! Overall this was a fabulous and fascinating tasting. The nose was different from the taste that was different from the finish but the whole thing was amazing!

excellent made tequila. This is a model for other tequila

Anything coming from this NOM is always outstanding. Balanced cooked agave, citrus, spice and alcohol.

Complicated but satisfying. Aroma full of brick oven and cooked agave mixed with rain water and minerals, rice, green mango and sage. Citrus, fruits, cloves and floral cent aggregated. Palate is agave forward, marzipan, lime, cloves, white pepper, basil and dill weed. Finish is medium spicy with cooked agave mix with sweetness like nutmeg and custard.

Aromas of cooked agave, pepper, citrus, and mint. The flavor is soft while the texture is oily with notes of sweet agave, light vanilla, white pepper, cinnamon, and more mint. The finish is long and spicy, and invites you back for more.

Nose: Ripe, high brix caramelized agave marries with spicy minerals to deliver a big welcoming aroma. There’s abundant light colored tree fruit notes, citrus & oranges, and a floral scent that pops in and out throughout the nosing experience. Flavor: Rich agave forward profile. Trailing slightly behind comes cinnamon, cloves, white pepper and hints of basil and dill weed. Silky and creamy in the mouth, but by no means timid or demure.

This is another great blanco from master distiller Felipe Camarena. This review is based not off of pedigree alone - we all know G4, Pasote, Terralta and Volans are amazing. With taking that out of the equation, this blanco packs a punch. It is very agave forward with floral, citrus and vegetal notes on the nose, indicative of a highlands tequila. The flavor is strong of steamed agave, black pepper, asparagus, sweet potato, spice, green apple and pear. It is really a very bold juice from 1579, and well done.

This is a blanco for agave lovers. I’m picking up agave, mint, citrus, pepper, and minerality. Sipping leaves your lips vibrating with a pleasant tingle that comes from the purest tequila. A fruity, peppery, mineral expression with a naturally oily long finish that doesn’t disappoint. In fact, it’s my wife’s favorite blanco!

Earthy and minty

Arte NOM 1579. The name says it all. Go look up NOM 1579. This is another wonderful expression of a blanco tequila from Felipe Camarena. This is a smooth sipper with an easy finish. Salud!

Lots and lots of green apple. On the nose and on the body. Knocked a few points off for price. Really soft and oily on the body which I liked. Not a huge fan of the specific moment when it transitions from tasting to the swallow.

Nice sweet cooked agave flavor, spearmint aroma and finish. Oily and earthy. Very enjoyable and distinct.

Nose of cooked agave, mint and white pepper. Pearls and legs hang on the coated glass for a while. Enters clean, coats thinly. Moderate cooked agave and white pepper flavor. Dry on the palate. Finish is long, dry and peppery.

Quite soft initially and then blooms in the mouth to reveal quite a bit of fullness as in spice and agave flavors along with some custard notes as the finish develops and then fades. Tasted side x side x side with G4 and Pasote from the same distillery.

What a nicely produced blanco. Fantastic fragrance with balanced agave, pepper and citrus notes. I'm Personally a fan of that fresh cut grass smell and this has a hint of that. And WOW this juice tastes good. Lots of complexity and interests. Smooth. Quality. Yum!

Cooked agave

Light alcoholic White pepper Thyme Cooked n dried agave Lilac Floral and light Sweet citrus

Nose, agave, mineral, earth and a olive/brine. It’s very nice On the palate all the notes from the nose stick around with the addition of pepper. A fantastic sipper. Finish doesn’t stick around long, I wish it did, this is good stuff I like the balance in every layer

Tons of cooked agave and minerals this was super interesting it had a bone dry finish.

Agave and pepper on the nose. More agave in the taste, but earthy minerals kick in with a touch of citrus. Medium/long finish that warms the chest. Damn good stuff.

Lot: LA0001BNL. Bottled on may’2021. On the nose it is earthy, mineral, citrusy & sour like a marinated pickle which is more typical in other agaves like the salmiana. On the palate the sweetness of the agave shines through, slight white pepper, floral aspects, very soft & silky, nice balance of sweet & sour, finish is medium to long.

Bottle: Lote LA0004BNL Color: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, black and white pepper, mint, citrus, olive, brine, basil, herbal, orange peel, dough/yeast, parsley, wet and dry earth, vegetal, and flowers…the aromas are really, really good Palate: Cooked and raw agave, black and white pepper, alcohol, spearmint, chile pepper, minerality, earth, brine, cinnamon, jalapeño, grapefruit, lime, butter, vegetal, bell pepper, olive, oregano, acetone, astringent, metallic, and petrol…flavors start great and then get kinda dunked at the end Finish: Very hot, alcohol predominant, acetone, astringent…the good flavors are really overpowered and dominated by the off notes Overall: The first time I ever tried this tequila, it drank hot and I had trouble finishing it. I usually like still strength tequilas and mezcals, so it was strange to be bothered by it. This second bottle is much, much better, but still has some of the same heat. The nose is by far the best and the palate was fresh and great until the end. At the finish, however, all of the the weird hotness takes front stage and the overall experience is slightly cheapened. Pretty good juice, but I much prefer other options in this price range.

The nose is fresh and complex. I get fresh and cooked agave, black pepper, citrus, floral, with grassy and herbal notes. The mouthfeel is rich and coating. Very nice. The palate is pleasantly sweet and very complex. I get spices (black pepper, star anise, five spice), lots of cooked agave with fresh agave undertones, grass, vegetal, citrus, with herbal and minty notes. Nice complexity. The finish is lengthy with lots of spices, agave, and minerality. Very nice.
