NOM 1614 | NOM 1614

NOM 1614 | Maybe I had a bad bottle, but something isn’t right. It tastes artificial. While there is some nice agave flavor there, it is overwhelmed by an artificial sweetness that gets worse the more I hold it in my mouth.

NOM 1614 | Sorry to the lovers of this brand. We did this blind side by side another quality repo. All of us detected some bad tastes. Aroma is good. But the taste is not. Something burned on artificial on the entry. The finish follows with some bitterness from the taste. Not good. Is this Casamigos?

Nose: Toffee, Vanilla, Pear, Nutmeg, Minerality, Oak, Cinnamon Palate: Carmel, Banana, Pepper, Barrel Notes, butter Finish: Carmel, Vanillla, Butter, Oak, Banana This is a good tequila. It checks all the boxes but also doesn't particularly blow me away. The finish was a bit short and there was a banana not that wasnt my favorite. All and all, this is a solid choice!

Some cooked agave, but it does get a little lost in all the other flavors. Also oak, fruit, floral, mineral, and pepper notes. Docking points for value based on the price. I could see this being a crowd pleaser with people trying to get into Tequila, it offers a very different profile with a lot of flavors.

NOM 1614 | This Reposado is very tasty. The nose is earthy with agave and has a mineral aroma. I get mint and just a touch of rubber. I would love to see Cazcanes try a different product for their stopper as this is a bottle that is over a year old. Taste is sweet with notes of caramel and agave. Cinnamon and vanilla. Again, a slight rubber taste but not too off putting. Finish has a touch of alcohol but the mouthfeel is good.

NOM 1599 | This Reposado is very tasty. The nose is earthy with agave and has a mineral aroma. I get mint and just a touch of rubber. I would love to see Cazcanes try a different product for their stopper as this is a bottle that is over a year old. Taste is sweet with notes of caramel and agave. Cinnamon and vanilla. Again, a slight rubber taste but not too off putting. Finish has a touch of alcohol but the mouthfeel is good.

NOM 1614 | An excellent and well balanced reposado. Great aromas and flavors coming from the barrel. A great sipper. Nose: cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, oak, black pepper, butter, cinnamon, and some citrus. Palate: cooked agave, black pepper, oak, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and butter. This is an enjoyable and easy sipping reposado that has plenty of cooked agave on the nose and palate backed with great barrel notes.

NOM 1599 | If you’re in the mood for a sweet tequila (in a good way) give this a try. Butterscotch and vanilla on the nose with cooked agave and an earthy note. Taste is similar with addition of vanilla and the woodsy oak barrel flavors play around in your mouth and pepper makes a subtle appearance at the end. All the aromas and flavors are present and not over bearing. It finishes somewhat quickly so doesn’t linger on the tongue very long. This is a delicious reposado to sip on, in my opinion, and always in my collection of repos.

Nose: cooked agave / pepper / vanilla/ oak / earth / pear / light citrus and orange peel /lemongrass / chocolate/ Taste: agave cooked / vanilla/ earth/ pepper / oak / butter / banana / pear / peach / orange peel / lemongrass / spearmint / chocolate/ honey Finish: the flavors disappear quickly leaving a viscous mouthfeel that’s good, but without a lingering taste note(s) the finish seems lacking. This reposado’s nose is good, albeit a little weak, but the taste is good. There’s very little barrel flavor, but enough of what there is comes through. The finish leaves me wanting more.

Mouthful of agave, vanilla, and caramel. Outstanding repo

NOM 1614 | Malolactic aroma - cheesiness. Cooked agave. A delicious smell honestly The cheese is subtle on the palet. Oak comes through strongly Finish is warm and you can feel the barrel aging. This tequila would be a great party favor - unique attributes while also appealing to the masses

NOM 1614 | Eye- nice straw color and slow forming legs Nose- nice baking, spices upfront that flows into a right banana and floral notes with deep caramel flowing throughout. Taste- Cook agave and fruit such as bananas with some barrel oakiness and butter scotch

NOM 1614 | Muted nose with barrel notes. Very soft palate and finish. Not a lot going on with this one. Not huge on Cazcanes personally. Tasted with AF 2024 Blind Repo. Update: bumping two more points after trying again.

NOM 1614 | Blind- Medium color, well balanced with a medium finish. Aroma: vanilla, caramel, agave, toffee, nuts Taste: caramel, vanilla, clove, buttery

A really solid repo. Nose of dried fruit and caramel with a hint of citrus. Palette has butterscotch, toffee and coffee. The finish is really nice, not too long.

NOM 1614 | Bottle: Batch No: R72303 Appearance: Golden straw Nose: Cooked agave, honey, melon, cantaloupe, yeast/dough, cinnamon, lactic, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, flowers, rose petals, barrel spice, allspice, oak, vanilla, banana, molasses, butter, white pepper, and brine/salinity…the aroma really develops the longer this rests in the glass Palate: Cooked and raw agave, vanilla, oak, butter, barrel spice, cinnamon, baking spice, cloves, smoke, molasses, butter, honey, lactic, yeast/dough, brine/salinity, pine tree, white pepper, vegetal, asparagus, wet grass, citrus, orange, and coriander…starts off like tequila, ends like a Belgian wheat beer Finish: Medium length with oak, cinnamon, pine tree, and cardamom…thinner mouthfeel, but minimal warmth Overall: This is the standout from the Cazcanes line for me thus far. The combination of sweet, savory, and funky profiles feel integrated and complementary. It’s complex, interesting, enjoyable, and dangerously easy to drink.

NOM 1614 | Banana, oak, tapioca, vanilla, pudding

NOM 1599

Beautiful mix of flavors and great feel on the mouth. One of my favorite reposados.

NOM 1614 Repo is lote 2 Sweet cooked agave, banana/Bubblegum barell notes loved it

NOM 1599 | Nicely balanced Reposado. Some great flavor notes of caramel and baking spice. Light heat. Nice mouth feel

NOM 1614 | Agave, cinnamon, lime, minerals, brine, sweet fruit, light oak. The new NOM retains some of that dusty hay mineral vibe, but this one seems a little creamier and a sweeter. Price knocks it a bit, but I enjoy this new batch!

NOM 1614 | Aroma: Elegant and harmonious, Caramelized fruits, citrus, candied orange peel, spices Taste: Velvety & Silky, cooked agave, salted caramel, fruity (apple, pear, pineapple), baking spices, subtle oak Really enjoy this new profile!

NOM 1614 | First aroma was a light butterscotch that gave way to green lime citrus. Light agave with sweetness and citrus rind. Persistent peppery burn down the throat but not offensive. Stronger agave flavor on the third sip. Slight bitter aftertaste. A good sipper that’s definitely not for the Casamigos crowd.
