NOM 1609 | Bottle: L317801001, 2213, 17:24 Appearance: Orange honey green tea Nose: Vanilla, cream soda, cooked agave, artificial maple syrup, butter, licorice, artificial sweetener, light acetone, alcohol, oak, and cedar…not the worst, but still has defects Palate: Vanilla, alcohol, black pepper, oak, whiskey, cinnamon, barrel spice, artificial sweetener, licorice, butter, alcohol, astringent, and molasses…I lost the agave Finish: Black pepper, artificial sweetener, alcohol, astringent, and whiskey…artificially viscous and lasts way longer than I want it to Overall: So far, this is the first and only one of their expressions that actually could pass as a tequila. It was almost like playing “Where’s Waldo?” with agave. Well, I found it. The problem is, it’s still not a good tequila. This was hard to drink, but not bad enough that I felt the need to pour it out like I did with the reposado. That being said, I still won’t be buying this again.

Medium amber color in the glass. Aroma of caramel, cooked agave, oak and a hint of butter. Flavor starts off with that butter feel, almost too much. I'm sensing an additive in the mouthfeel. Then the caramel, cooked agave, black pepper and oak. Medium-long finish.

Nose: Carmel, Vanilla, Oak, Cream Soda, Almond, Cotton Palate: Oak, Butterscotch, Artificial (extract like) Finish: Brown sugar, Chocolate, Maple syrup, Chemical Smell (Like Chapstick)

NOM 1609 | Nose: Sweet vanilla, oak, fake thick caramel, bubble gum, rich sugar Flavor: Strange oak flavor which doesn’t taste quite right. Vanilla, cake, bubble gum, tingling tongue, short finish. While this is not for me, I can imagine some people just trying out tequila could enjoy it. Clear additives which were not very well integrated. The Repo is much better.

F. A. K. E

NOM 1609 | Nice oak presence, notes of caramel and vanilla.. Lacking in the finish.

Far too sweet for me.

At the bar

NOM 1416 | Used to like this brand before I knew anything. Glad I was able to get some education on agave.

NOM 1416 | It’s an easy drinking spirit but if tasted blind would be hard to guess it’s a tequila. Although not as artificial as the reposado, there is no agave. Time in the barrel adds another layer so it’s not extremely sweet like the reposado, just very sweet.

Aroma of wood and caramel, no discernable agave scent. Taste mirrors scent. If this were included in a blind flight of whiskies one wouldn't stop and wonder why a tequila was in there. Very bland. (NOM 1416)

The tasting note that’s stood out to me was caramel popcorn. There was a nuttiness, vanilla, and caramel finish that led me to that conclusion. Overpriced unfortunately.

NOM 1609 | This tequila has a good start in both aroma and flavor but it lacks on finish. Nice cream soda or caramel taste mix with cinnamon, agave and butterscotch making it a little too sweet at finish. I think it is artificial sweet

sweet vanilla aroma n flavor

Initial taste is Caramel which is very pleasing. Overall taste is sweet but not a fan of the after taste which takes away from the enjoyment of this drink.

NOM 1609 | I like to think this is the gate way to finer tequilas, the sweet flavor profile meets the American palate. A clean simple bottle has picked up fans quickly. A mass appeal Anejo

NOM 1416 | Cooked agave and nothing else fascinating. There is little to no complexity. Basic tequila

NOM 1416 | Was apprehensive with the Casanova’s products due to the Clooney affiliation. Pushed the Anejo and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this Anejo. Smooth, a bit sweet with an excellent finish. I would recommend this if your on the fence like I was.

NOM 1416 | Easy enough to get along with, sweet balances heat and the glass is empty before you know it.

NOM 1416 | This tequila has a good start in both aroma and flavor but it lacks on finish. Nice cream soda or caramel taste mix with cinnamon, agave and butterscotch making it a little too sweet at finish. I think it is artificial sweet

NOM 1416 | It is just pleasant. First time trying their Añejo. Sweet aroma and taste. Nothing overpowering or remarkable. But good. The finish is the best part of it—very easy going down. Not too sweet. Pleasant.

NOM 1416 | Caramel and vanilla on the nose, some cooked agave present on the mouth. Smooth, not very complex finish. Overall a decent añejo

NOM 1416 | Caramel, agave, and oak in a smooth sipper.

NOM 1416 | Like class Azul it's too sweetened and thin on agave see John Welch and Grovers review....

NOM 1416 | More of that artificial sweetness/ nastiness. I don't care what the producers say, something not right going on here.
