reviewing old notes from 2015. didn't take full tasting notes just said I liked it mid 80s well balanced some citrus pepper agave. wish I had more to revisit

Lote No: 134 Approx 30 Bx 40% ABV The initial nasal impact is sweet and warming. The aroma is the epitome of NOM 1079. Harmonious balance of sweet cooked agave, pear (which is the underlying signature note for 1079 for me), cinnamon, floral, bright lime, pepper and a yeasty/lactic note on the aroma. A cut grass (or sage) component is definitely present as well. An oily, creamy mouth feel with a perfect (for me) pepper hit on the tongue due to the generous (even though 40% ABV) presence of alcohol. The character of sweet cooked agave and pear hit first. Melon, cinnamon and pepper balance out the incredible flavor. Notes of lime cut in and there is a slight sense of vanilla on the retro nasal (not strong vanilla flavor, but the essence of vanilla). The pepper still tingles on the tongue even after the other flavors of the med finish dissipate. This blanco is phenomenal. Rare to find a tequila at 30 brix, just amazing. I mentioned "balance" twice. ArteNOM 1079 gives you everything you ask a blanco to give. Outstanding complexity. What an amazing treat from NOM 1079. Jake Lustig and ArteNOM have truly put together the Hall of Fame of master distillers and brought out their best. So unfortunate it is no longer available. Needless to say, if you find one, send it to me
