Sample

Nose Caramel and vanilla emerge first, followed by rich cooked agave with underlying fruity notes. It offers subtle aged aromas, but the real depth shines through on the palate. Palate It starts with a peppery agave and sweet punch, then layers in vanilla, cinnamon, baking spice and a hint of peanut butter. Oak provides a solid backbone without dominating, keeping everything balanced with fruity undertones and agave at the forefront. Finish Warm, sweet, and spicy, lingering gradually with vanilla, baking spices, and a hint of oak for a smooth, satisfying aftertaste. Initially, I thought this bottle was decent, but it lingered on my shelf untouched for a long time. Looking back, I’m not sure why! I must have underestimated it, because it’s awesome if you enjoy a hint of sweetness that enhances rather than overshadows the vibrant agave character!

Agave, anise, cinnamon, caramel and black pepper. On the palette

Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest

This was my first time trying any expression from Lost Lore. My favorite local tequila bar got a small sample bottle from a friend and we poured it out of a tiny sample bottle marked up with a Sharpie…They way I prefer to try tequila for the first time! I was very impressed with this repo. I’m typically a blanco drinker (especially high proofs) but I found this to be very enjoyable. Great nose with cooked agave sweetness, cinnamon and pepper. On the palette I got lots of cinnamon, chocolate, black pepper, honey and a bit of cardboard-like dryness on the finish. Overall, very well done by Lost Lore and the folks at 1414!

Something almond/cherry going on here that I don’t love. Still roasted agave to be found on the nose, but I’m not getting it anywhere on my tongue. I had huge hopes after trying the blanco, this just doesn’t have the same charm.

This one opens with a rich nose full of cooked agave, caramel, and a light dusting of cinnamon. On the palate, it’s smooth and agave-forward — exactly how I like it. Notes of vanilla and buttery sweetness round things out beautifully, giving it a soft, creamy texture without being heavy. There’s just enough spice to keep it interesting, and the balance between sweet and dry is spot on. The finish lingers with warmth and subtle oak, leaving a clean, satisfying fade. Bold yet refined, this is a fantastic reposado that shows just how good classic craftsmanship can taste.

Nose: vanilla / sweet agave cooked / caramel/ butter / cinnamon/ banana/ melon / hint of tangerine/ anise / hay / nutmeg/ chocolate/ molasses/ maple syrup/ cream soda Taste: sweet agave cooked / vanilla/ anise/ caramel/ very light cinnamon / banana/ melon / hint of lime / hint of tangerine / hint of spearmint/ peppermint / tea / nutmeg/ chocolate/ molasses/ maple / cream soda Finish: very low viscosity mouthfeel/ not quite watery/ enjoyable agave, vanilla, and cinnamon keep a very big brand taste grounded with some very tasty barrel notes. Lingering sweetness and vanilla keep going while the cinnamon and pepper notes are incredible and let balance/contrast of sweet and spicy ride off into the sunset. This reposado’s one BIG trick is the sweetness that is balanced with barrel notes that keep it from flying apart. The united flavors blend into a singular taste of agave/vanilla/cinnamon that is so enjoyable.

Nice nose with agave, oak, cinnamon earth and minerals The taste is agave forward with butterscotch, oak, cinnamon, vanilla and butter. This is a very good repo but there are better from 1414.

Cinnamon, Oak and Vanilla on the nose with some burnt sugar you may find in a toasted marshmallow or creme Brule. clinging to that strong sweet potato scent you get with cooked agave. Taste is incredibly smooth and oak forward a little hint of hay and a finish that remains true to the nose. I get strong roasted marshmallow on the finish. This one is lovely to the very end. Solid Repo here!

Good barrel notes if you like your Reposado to lean more wood than citrus, light cooked agave, spicy. Nice finish.

Nose- light cooked agave and alcohol. Not much being picked up. Palette- Green apple, cooked agave, cinnamon and pepper. Finish- great cooked agave, great mouth feel with a nice lingering pepper

Lote 01 Bottle 493. Very enjoyable. Light and clean. Whiskey presance. Cinnamon and baking spice. 1414 does it again!

I tried all three expressions at the 2023 LATF industry party and really enjoyed them. I will revisit and add my notes when when I get more revisited April 2024 Repo lote 2 40% 4/8/24 Chocolate cooked agave champagne yeast? barrel spices a little cinnamon. Yeast dissipated as it opened. Dry finish

Sweet finish

This reposado has a softer and more approachable profile than some of the more structured and mineral-driven tequilas I have been tasting recently. The mouthfeel is smooth and rounded with a subtle natural agave sweetness that stays refreshing rather than overly rich. The oak feels well integrated without introducing heavy tannins or drying out the palate. Unlike pepper-forward reposados, this one leans easygoing and balanced with very little bite. The finish stays clean and lightly sweet, making this a tequila that feels extremely drinkable and easy to enjoy for an entire evening.

It’s good, though I’m not sure I get all the hype. If I had to describe its flavor, I’d call it ‘balanced’ but towards the barrel and spice profile… there’s a bit of everything going on here. Actually reminds me of another 1414 - Siempre - which is also good but a better value. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly wouldn’t be unhappy if it was put in front of me, but as a matter of personal taste I feel like there are other options in the same price range that I just like better.

Aromas de agave, caramelo, vainilla, canela Sabores de agave, madera, caramelo Es bueno pero me gustaría un poco de Más carácter

Cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, citrus, mineral, barrel (oaky & light smoke), light nutty

Buttery repo that’s smooth, no alcohol taste. Fantastic value.

Received a sample from Agave Swappers Nose: agave, alcohol, and just a bit of barrel influence. Pretty light repo as far as color goes. Taste: agave, some light vanilla and baking spices, maybe a touch of leather. I think it might benefit from sitting in the barrel a little longer. Finish: medium length for me. Decent kick of pepper. Overall: not bad, and not sure on price, but I’d drink it again.

Aroma: (21) agave, citrus, black pepper Minerals, oak, vanilla Taste: (26) agave, baking spices, cinnamon, vanilla Finish: (21) quicker than desired. Vanilla, & agave Overall: (85) good Reposado but I had higher expectations because I had Lost Lore Hi proof repo and it loved it. I will let this rest & try again. Value (7) $57 from Hi-proof.

good but not really worth that price point

Taste a bit of agave but this one falls flat to me. Nose and finish unremarkable.
