NOM 1416 Tried this in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2015 during Superbowl 49 at $90 a shot. then we foolishly purchased a bottle for $500. just realized i hadbt rated it... back then, 2015, I liked sweet aged tequilas. (I liked the repo better than this anejo tho). today, I cant drink any of these sweet sugar bombs. flavor palate = vanilla caramel whiskey. no agave.

From just a taste standpoint I would think of this along the lines of 1942, lots of desirable flavors but little agave. The problem is at $500 a bottle this is difficult to justify this when there are so many better at a lower price point.

NOM 1595 | Had an opportunity to sip this a second time in just a short few months. I have to at $72 for 2oz pour, it’s a bit insane. This sips like a fine EA, caramel, chocolate, spice and an almost leathery finish was like no other Anejo. It’s not a sweet as the Repo which is a nice surprise. I will definitely enjoy again soon.

NOM 1595 | Just doesn’t taste anything like tequila, even Añejo’s that are masked by oak still taste more like agave than this. I would love to see a list of the additives at work here.

NOM 1416 | Less of the artificial aroma of the repo, but the heavy vanilla/caramel can still be found. This pour was very cloudy, apparently an artifact from this particular bottle. Again, same level of artificial sweetness, but with a slightly bitter finish. And seriously, almost $500? Ugh.

NOM 1416 | citrus and spicy nose. more pleasant Than its blanco brother. 2 second taste. orange, small pepper, small caramel. fast finish. great tequila.

NOM 1416 | Aroma of raw agave and anise. Flavor has strong, sugary sweetness (can this possibly be natural??) with a bit of spice. No agave flavor present which is a big disappointment in a blanco. The finish is short and weak.

NOM 1595 | Just fake sugar that lingers forever.

NOM 1595 | Vanilla Agave

Really good but way too expensive. So many better anejos at a third of the price.

NOM 1595 | Sweet after taste with no bite

Although the price is high for this one, I really enjoy this tequila. It's an all around experience, from the uniqueness of each bottle to the full aroma and taste. The taste and aroma have strong caramel, which I think gives it its smoothness for me and makes it a very good sipping tequila.

darker color than clase azul reposado. not sweet

A really nice clean, fresh tequila plus the aged notes of oak, nuts, and some spice. I know there’s haters out there and yes it’s expensive, but the bottles are truly handcrafted art. I mean what else can you drink and sell the bottle for over $100 after? Overall nice to drink and a beautiful addition to any home bar. No doubt Clase Azul cares about what they’re doing and it shows. I think if not for the price it would be nearly impossible to find on shelves.

NOM 1595 | I had to have this gorgeous bottle. Really sweet anejo. This is the candy tasting tequila. What additives are doing this?

Drink added sugar

Cuerpo medio, color ámbar con destellos ocres. Canela, vainilla y un poco frutal en la nariz. Roble, almendra y nuez en el paladar, sabor muy fresco para un añejo. Buena opción si te gusta el cognac, tiene un perfil similar. Mid body, ambar with ocre shines. Cinnamon, vanilla and a bit fruity on the nose. Oak, almond and walnut on the palate, a very fresh sensation for an Añejo. A good choice if you like cognac, has a similar profile.

NOM 1595 | Spice, caramel, smooth

Aroma is toffee, nutty, vanilla and oak Taste is nutty orange and oak Finish is super smooth

Love, probably my favorite tequila.

Le Blanc - birthday from Melissa

Has too many artificial flavorings

NOM 1416 | Pricing of this bottle completely wrecks overall score. Not a horrible tequila. But properly priced, it is not. Would drink again if someone else is buying, but cannot recommend given pricing.

Vanilla

NOM 1595 | Light agave on nose Good oak on palate
