Tried this on a work trip in Colorado back in late 2025. It was better than a lot of things from 1438.

Aroma: Cream soda agave, wet limestone and soft ReaLime lime juice. Taste: Fresh agave and white pepper. I suspect glycerin. Finish: The flavors linger. The agave goes from fresh to slightly creamy. The white pepper stays and I do suspect glycerin is added. There’s a slight alcohol tingle and bitterness. Overall: The aromas are a degree or two off from being entirely natural. They aren’t unpleasant but they might have been touched. The flavor is the best part of the experience If I chose to recommend this product the score would be 80 but 1438 just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t find them to be honest with the brands and too many of their tequilas are very similar to each other.

With my eyes on the glass I notice this tequila coats the glass relatively good with slow running tears. On the Nose I get cooked agave followed by lime zest along with a funk I just can't put my finger on Not a bad funk but its ever so slight. On the palate Cooked Agave and lime zest are fighting each other to see which stands out more followed by a white pepper note. All in all one of the better if not the best out of NOM 1438 in my opinion. would I make this a every day sipper for me yes/ no . Yes on the price no on the fact its not available in my State but it would go great in a cocktail and I would not turn down a pour if offered.

I though I was drinking water. That is how smooth it is!
