NOM 1122 | I tried this years ago, without rating it. I got a pour to refresh my memory. The nose is alright: agave, citrus, & alcohol. It’s clear in the glass, but not oily or viscous. The taste is clean, but medicinal, with a sharp alcohol burn. I taste agave, but also mint, citrus, and gasoline. The finish is pretty long lasting, but more of an alcohol burn than a pleasant taste. 1800 Blanco may be OK as a mixer, but it’s not for sipping. Pass.

NOM 1122 | This is a NOM 1122 - La Rojeña distillery (Jose Cuervo) product. You most likely recognize its distinctive trapezoidal bottle shape, inspired by the Mayan pyramids. The aromas are interesting. They aren’t traditional scents that are easily recognized. There’s a savory herbal note that’s slightly sweet. It isn’t offensive, but it’s different. It has a sage-like quality. Tequila 1800 Silver undergoes a 15-day maturation in American and French oak barrels before being blended. The body is very thin, water-like. The sweetness hits up front, and then the savory note creeps in, but it’s more muted than the nose. There’s a peppery note that creeps in towards the finish. Overall, it’s an interesting nose and a thin body without a good tequila bite. It’ll work as the alcohol component of a cocktail, but I wouldn’t call it tequila-forward.

Tried in Los Cabos only because it was free. Has a strange agave nail polish remove smell. Agave, alcohol, and citrus. Not something I want to sip on. Would not even be a good mixer.

Very odd smell, best I can describe is medicinal. Taste isn’t really any better. I know it’s targeted as a mixer but wouldn’t use it for that even.

Smell of medicine and some agave. Very one dimensional on the nose. Similar with taste. Water finish. Not horrible but certainly no where near a good tequila. Tasted this at a Chicago airport where nothing good could be found. The other choices were not great and this one I had never rated so I picked it. Cost me $20 for a pour with tax and tip. Very expensive to rate a dog but sometimes you just want to find out.

The aroma is indeed noisome, consisting of wet cardboard, scathing alcohol that burns the nostrils orange/lemon citrus, salt, pepper, and acetone. I just could not care to smell this honestly, it didn’t induce the anxious want to taste it. The palate encountered the presence of cooked agave, lemon citrus, medicinal, butteriness, cardboard, brine, and plastic grocery store bag, which ultimately made it very difficult for me to believe that this spirit wasn’t made with a diffuser. For me to drink and rate this, was an exercise in Zen.

Medicinal, high alcohol burn, burnt rubber, pepper. Straight trash.

Fresh crack is very ethanol and acetone forward with some hint of sweet vanilla. Nose: Sweet ethanol vanilla. Not much going on and i am unable to detect any agave. Sweet tart dusty candy. Palate: Thick mouth feel. Starts out with general sweetness which finishes in alcohol burn on my tongue. Cream soda, no agave. Not great. I recommend skipping this pour.

Lot of burn on palate, not much agave on nose. Has additives so know what you’re drinking

Harsh, bitter, chemical, alcohol. Dump it

Light on agave but peppery. I'd use it to mix if nothing else was around.

Aroma of rubbing alcohol and a hint of grass. Flavor of rubber, like licking a tire. Thankfully the finish is short.

Not a pleasant aroma - closer to rubbing alcohol with grass and a little agave. The taste is similar to the nose.

Absolutely terrible. Alcohol taste right off rip and smell of dirty socks

The nose gives proof of additives and it tastes of additives and there are additives on the finish. It’s affordable but if you care about agave don’t buy this product.

Aroma of agave and black pepper. Slight rubber. Pretty basic but not bad, especially for the price.

Surprisingly smooth with pepper and only slight alcohol. Decent silver.

Definitely on the sweet side, toasted almond and brown sugar. The good thing is that product can be found just about anywhere that serves booze and it will do in a pinch

Peppery, mixes alright.

The only thing that comes to mind about the aroma is rubbing alcohol. Maybe the slightest notes of agave and butter but that's a stretch. The flavor follows suit...mostly nondescript but leaves a strange texture in your mouth. Almost that strong tannic sensation you get from a big Zinfandel but not nearly as pleasant. Virtually no finish. It's just gone. But, that might be for the best.

NOM 1122 | Aromas: vainilla, ceniza Paladar: vainilla, ceniza Con este tequila fue que empecé hace unos años atrás y pensaba que era lo mejor que había, no es horrible pero al pasar los años ya no es mi go to tequila

Vile. I would not wish this on my enemy.

Nose smells of alcohol and agave. Flavor is mostly alcohol with agave. The finish leaves something to be desired, as it leaves an alcoholic burn on the tongue, rather than flavors of agave. It's not terrible, but there are better blancos at this price point.

Aroma: (19) agave, alcohol, citrus Taste: (21) agave, alcohol, citrus, black pepper Finish: (18) little burn no agave just alcohol Overall: (64) I can’t believe how big this tequila brand is, for $35 you could get such a better blanco. Value (4)

Nose- I can’t get past the smell, it’s like a light nail polish and alcohol,and sweet smell, Taste- is the same as nose, only reason I have this is somebody gave it to me.
