Nom 1499. Aroma, agave and burnt sugar forward with light wood and spice tones. Flavor, agave, wood sugars, light caramel, marshmallow. Tingly finish with more burnt sugar at the end. Not trying to be insulting but is a bit reminiscent of a Don Julio profile toward the end with the burnt sugary finish.

NOM 1499 | 1st Review Not properly filtered and tequila was extremely muted. Will have to revisit again, tried at a bar so somewhat skeptical - Score 79/100 2nd Review - Score 84/100 I’m glad I revisited, profile has changed and I really enjoyed it. Banana/tropical fruits is a key factor in this tequila. It can be sipped, but I think it can greatly be used in mixology. Deducted points since it’s $70 where I’m located, overpriced for the overall experience (bottle, packaging, tequila profile)

NOM 1499 | Very nicely made Reposado, light wood notes, sweet agave, slight spice ....

NOM 1499 | Aroma : Watermelon and bananas with cinnamon, oak, cloves and vanilla. Taste : Peppery heat with cloves and cinnamon accompany the same fruity notes you get on the nose alongside creamy, sweet cooked agave. The texture is full and oily just like the Blanco. Finish : Long and crisp with good balance between sweet and spicy flavors.

NOM 1499 | Flowers, melon, vanilla, agave, sweet banana dominate the aroma. Melon, banana, flowers are at the front on flavor as well. Some oak and cooked agave follow. Citrus is present in the background too. Creme brulee noticably coats the sides of the tongue during the finish and retrohale. Medium finish. Points deducted in Value category for the $61 price tag for a repo and the glass "cork" stopper is horrendous. While I like it, I might not buy it again for those two reasons. The Blanco is a better value

NOM 1499 | Initial impression: The aroma is lacking for me, but it may be due to my cold and dry home. I'll have to reevaluate in the spring/summer. The flavor is interesting, quite soft, and but is mainly from the whiskey barrels. Finish is satisfactory. I was hesitant about this product due to the 3x distillation, but had heard good things and wanted to try for myself. The glass stopper is different. It will take some getting used to since it has a tight fitting rubber(?) gasket. I scraped the inside of the neck as I pulled the stopper out. Hopefully, I don't scratch or crack the glass, but that would be my fault, not the bottle design.

NOM 1499 | Nose: Agave sweetness, Floral, Clove, Nice barrel notes, Very ripe cantaloupe, The aroma of Banana Foster’s Flavor: Light Banana, Carmel, Citrus, White pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, and Cooked agave sweetness Finish: The finish is spicy , medium in length with the sweetness carrying through

NOM 1499 | Mijenta offers floral citrus on the nose. I’m tasting cinnamon, pepper, orange, banana, almond, honey, vanilla, and very light oak. It’s got an oily mouthfeel with a long sweet and spicy balanced finish. Very nice!

NOM 1499 | Nose: A delicate combination of warm spices with a touch of vanilla. Given a few minutes to open up, brings out guava, banana and cantaloupe aromas. A citrusy floral thread wends its way through the aromas. Flavor: The initial pepper, clove and cinnamon heat, mellows to share the show with buttery, silky almond cream and vanilla custard. Some green elements: cucumber and Serrano chiles. Plenty of agave and fruit playing strong supporting roles. Oak influence is merely a bit player on this stage. Finishes leaving an airy, delicate and elegantly balanced impression.

NOM 1499 | Nose of tropical fruit, cantaloupe, butter, clove, cinnamon, vanilla and pepper. Oily mouthfeel with nicely balanced sweetness. Very pleasant.

NOM 1412 | Wet earth, cooked agave, oak, white pepper, and cinnamon. Nom 1412

NOM 1499 | For a reposado, it has lost a little too much pure agave character and taken on too much of the aging barrel. Lots of oak and pepper on the nose. Lost its agave flavor. I love reposados and was expecting much more.

NOM 1499 | Cinnamon Smokey

extra good on second glass, delicious, nuanced, starts light on the palate and then darkens with oak and caramel. not sure it is worth the 2x price of the blanco tho, which was also fantastic

NOM 1499 | Pronounce delicious agave and caramel flavor.

Aroma akin to scotch. Very smooth, late bite

NOM 1499 | The more days this stays open to aerate the more agave forward. The flavor becomes its very good, clean, additive, free I support this.

NOM 1499 | I really like this, aroma is subdued but all I care about is how it tastes and it’s good. Agave up front with hints of caramel and some oak. It’s somewhat mild but generous and finishes very well with a lingering taste that holds well. Think I got it in sale so the value was excellent but I’ll buy it again regardless.

Smokey, but light. Really like the smell and agave aromas. Super smooth and nice after taste.

I ordered this at a bar, before dinner, it was my first reposado and I loved it. I’m definitely picking up a bottle, and if it’s possible I will comeback and give a more detailed review .

NOM 1499 | NOM: 1499 Aroma: cooked agave, exotic smell similar to a dark aged rum or cognac and alcohol burn. Taste: plastic/rubber at first sip then slightly sweet with notes of marzipan, cooked banana, baking spice and toasted bread. It is a complex tequila that adds more flavor every time you sip on. The mouthfeel is top tier a bit grainy, very soft and comforting it made my tongue numb which I quite enjoy. The finish is where this tequila felt somewhat short it is nice and lingering but for me the sweetness increased a bit much after a few sips. The marzipan flavor remained but I got honey on top of it with some bitterness similar to dark cocao; it would need a bit more balance and nuance with the agave to make it a daily sipper. Nonetheless, it is an amazing and very interesting tequila with many layers of flavor and definitely worth a try. I really enjoy my experience tasting it, the American oak, French and acacia barrel aging add many things that I have never tasted in a tequila before and I’m so glad I did! Personally, I would recommend to stick to a small glass only due to its richness. To anyone who likes reposado I can’t recommend this enough especially if you want to experience something different with that interesting blend of different barrels.
