NOM 1107 | It’s a decent as a celebrity Tequila. There’s some type of a caramel, sweet agave on the nose and taste. There’s a little green Vegetalness, and black pepper/ethanol on the finish. Not very complex. Would make a great starting point for new Tequila drinkers.

NOM 1107 | easy sipper. not complex. i like the palate better than the nose. nose: alcohol, minerality, citrus, some agave. palate: sweet cooked agave with some citrus and mild pepper finish.

  • 82 Rating

NOM 1107 | Nose of agave and alcohol. Minty sweetness. Fruity. Similar on the palate. The ABV while only 40, overpowers this tequila. Agave and pepper.

NOM 1107 | * I tried this on a cruise. I have to try this again in a more private setting, because I was far from impressed* The gathered aroma consists of citrus, minerality, alcohol, grassy, and floral notes. On the palate, minerals, brine, scathing alcohol, citrus, and grassiness are encountered. The finish is marked by lemon zest, trailing minerality, and fading grassiness with persistent alcohol.

NOM 1107 | Surprising. I really enjoyed this blanco.

  • 83 Rating

NOM 1107 | Aroma is good with light agave but there is some lactic, minerally funk that I don’t know if I appreciate. Taste is pretty good with agave, pepper and light salinity. Finish is good. Nothing super memorable.

  • 79 Rating

NOM 1107 | Thin and weak (faint) aromas and flavors from start to finish. Not cheap tasting but nothing memorable either. Flavors and aroma increase very slightly upon opening. Would mix with certain recipes but only those where you're not seeking tequila flavor to shine through. Will keep as occasional sipper but probably will never buy again.

NOM 1107 | I don't pick up much much on the aroma and the flavour had limited complexity and agave. It's a fine inoffensive tequila with out much depth.

  • 78 Rating

NOM 1107 | Well made Blanco. Agave upfront followed by citrus notes. Price is a little steep when you see compare it to other Blancos. Besides that it’s great.

NOM 1107 | I bought this bottle without knowing who owns it and I probably wouldn't have given it a chance since I'm not a fan of either of those guys. The good news is my naive approach kept my review honest. Nose- faint agave, olive, and black pepper. Taste- peppery alcohol heat, sweet agave, and some lemon. Mouth feel is thin. Finish- short and dry. Value- at $45 in Michigan I can find things I like more for less money but this Blanco is better than others that cost more. Overall this was better than I expected (and likely the best "celebrity owned" tequila I've had) but it's just an average drink in my opinion. Nothing offensive and nothing outstanding.

NOM 1107 | Reminds me of the Papa Bueno. I think the PB has more citrus than this does.

  • 82 Rating

NOM 1107 | Not super complex. Has a nice peppery agave smell on the nose. It doesn’t quite translate to the taste. Short dry finish

  • 89 Rating

NOM 1107 | Cinnamon, agave, and slight melon aromas. Flavor is cooked agave and some minerals. Full bodied mouthfeel with a long dry finish. Not super complex, but not every tequila needs to be.

  • 85 Rating

NOM 1107 | Herbal, earthy aromas and cinnamon with a nice oily body, cinnamon taste and spice finish. Medium natural sweetness. Not complex but a good sipper.

  • 84 Rating

NOM 1107 | Blanco= nice mild notes, but slightly bland for me. Overall, clean and enjoyable to sip. The Repo= 82 creamy, easy sipping. This line is non-offending, but simple basic tequila

  • 81 Rating

NOM 1107 | For a celebrity tequila, this one has teeth. Good cooked agave and citrus notes. Not my favorite blanco but would definitely drink this blanco again

  • 81 Rating

NOM 1107 | Pretty solid for a celebrity tequila. I got aromas and flavors of agave, citrus, and light cherry. It's a bit more mellow than I would like, and the price isn't too great for the quality you get. But I wouldn't turn down a glass of this.

NOM 1107 | This tequila is Lite in agave smell and flavor is like is fading away. In taste a little burn but nothing crazy. When I drink a blanco I expect more agave and this one is lacking of it.

  • 75 Rating

NOM 1107 | A solid tequila. Aroma is full of floral, alcohol, mineral, vegetal, agave, citrus, mint, lime and smoke. Flavor is sweet with a little bitterness, agave and clove. It finish medium heat with nuts, vegetal, mineral and sweetness.

NOM 1662 | Santo Blanco I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this pour, but Santo Blanco ended up being a pleasant surprise. The nose opens with minerality, vegetal notes, and a touch of fermentation character that immediately lets you know this is tequila first. The palate brings a thicker, slightly oily mouthfeel with pepper, earthiness, and lingering fermentation notes. There is good texture throughout the sip, and the profile stays focused on agave-driven flavors rather than sweetness. The finish is earthy and vegetal with a subtle menthol-like cooling sensation that lingers after the sip. While it didn’t deliver the salinity and mineral intensity that typically push a tequila into my highest scores, it remained balanced, enjoyable, and true to its agave roots. A solid blanco that surprised me in the best way and proves that good tequila can come from unexpected places. Score: 91

NOM 1107 | Nose: Cooked agave, lemon zest, black pepper, hay, and a touch of praline. Butter and mint emerge with time in the glass. Palate: Oily texture with natural agave sweetness up front. Citrus and vanilla build to a creamy orange zest peak with black pepper, mineral, and herbs weaving through. Floral and savory at once. Finish: Gentle warmth, vanilla, orange blossom, steamed agave, and a lingering citrus mint aftertaste. Medium and clean. Overall: A well crafted everyday blanco that punches above its celebrity label. Not the most complex on the shelf but honest, approachable, and additive free. The 110 proof version is the showstopper but this is the daily driver.

NOM 1107 | Aroma contains notes of vegetal, alcohol, cucumber, and hints of smoke Flavors of vegetal, cucumber, mint, and only hints of cooked agave. Finishes with flavors of vegetal, cucumber, and alcohol. Honestly, the finish burns too much for my liking. This tequila tastes good, but it's rough around the edges. And, while this tequila tastes different from most, I wish the favor of agave was more strong. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for tequila with prominent vegetal notes, or looking for something interesting for making cocktails. I see this Blanco selling for $40-$50 USD. I think it's worth $40- $45, especially if you like vegetal tequilas. But I think $50 or more is too much to pay, considering the alcoholic burn on the nose and the finish.

NOM 1107 | Had put this one off for awhile...had the Mezquila...not so impressed, but that was in my early stages of sophistication of the palate...LOL...Anyway, more info led me to grab it...since every time I go to the store....it's El Tesoro or Ocho....just needed to give something else a try. I was pleased. Has a nice aroma if agave....trying to discern whether cooked or raw or both...peppery with light floral notes...maybe nutty or seedy...if you can imagine. on the palate it has the same presence of agave with some very light, dare I say sweet essence, followed by a peppery burn. the finish is alright....light lingering, but not like an agave bomb that lasts and lasts and lasts. Still...a decent libation that I will purchase again. would like to try the repo and give the mezquila another go.

  • 85 Rating

NOM 1107 | Very bright flavor, citrus and cracked black pepper and just enough Agave to keep me happy.
