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.

Excellent and expressive blanco from Felipe Camarena. Subtle citrus & floral notes on the nose and taste with a underlying honey and vanilla , along side string agave and rounds out nicely w/ slight black pepper and earth finish. Definitely something to have on the the shelf and share with friends.

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.

It’s a softer version of G4, but not a better version. Not quite as much character and it’s priced a little higher. I’d certainly drink it again and recommend it if asked, but not over G4.

This is not quite G4 with a 100% rainwater. Yet more expensive.

Very smooth with a complex flavor profile unlike other blancos. Check this one out.

Good aroma smooth start to finish no harshness. Slightly sweet. Very nice.

More vanilla than 1580.

And excellent blanco. Layers of flavor and surprisingly sweet. Citrus nose and taste. Lighter agave but apple, brown sugar and honey. A fun one!

Lots going on for a Blanco. Smooth, good agave flavor with a long almost sweet finish.

Amazing finish!! Very peppered and clean feeling

Very earthy and oily. I do taste the Apple, agave, and slight pepper...a new favorite I found at Astor Wine and Spirits in NYC

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.

Great juice. Would rate higher if not for price.

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.
