Great distillery. Some of my favorite tequilas are made there. It's a brand that's beloved by tequila lovers and often lauded for its authenticity and complexity. I like those things, so let's dive right in.
NOM 1480 | Aroma has a kinda oaky earthy sawdust over a layer of sweetness. It initially reminded me of Codigo and I wasn’t surprised to then realize this is another Amatitan tequila. Flavors open sweeter than the aroma with a pop of vanilla followed by some grapefruit rind, cinnamon and clove. Nice little tingle for an 80 proof. This one is NOM 1480 and it stays in the same lane as some of the other organic tequilas I’ve had from 1480.
