NOM 1143 - Medium amber in the glass with nice, oily legs. Aroma of cooked agave, minerals, oak and alcohol (I just opened the bottle). Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, vanilla, minerals and alcohol. Has a medium finish with the pepper spiciness hanging around. Excellent $20 price in Seattle, even with our ridiculous liquor taxes.

Aroma: Oak is strong, cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, walnut,smoke, faint alcohol. Taste: Oak,caramel, butter,cooked agave, orange citrus, floral, anise, spice Finish. Spicy, Smokey, cardboard, lingering pepper in mouth and on tongue. For the price this is a fair budget Reposado imo. The barrel influence is dominant and drowns out much of the agave taste but it also muffles the cardboard tasteI found in the Blanco rather well. Overall sweet with the finish being a bit of a "put off". The value helped with the score.

The Aroma hits with alcohol, agave,cardboard, and citrus. All together not a very appealing aromatic combination to me. The initial taste is off putting, and cardboard comes to my mind, but then it dissipates, faster than I expected, and faded into agave, citrus, pepper, fruity, honey and lemon grass notes. The finish was pleasant to my surprise and liking, the taste trailed away with soft fruity notes. The last drip/sip in the glass does not taste like clean/pure water to me. For the price it gets a pass, better than other blancos I've tasted that cost more or more popular

I wasn’t expecting much and didn’t get much. The good news is that you can use it as a mixer if that’s the sort of thing you are into. The nose is heavy on acetone; I’d guess from the use of immature agave crushed through a roller mill. Raw young agave dominate the taste, with punctuations of black licorice, slight citrus, and earthy herbs. There is a slight syrupy velocity to the finish. It’s a healthy 5 second finish with lingering herbs and spices. I’ll stick to the frozen chimichangas at TJ’s next time.
