NOM 1647 | NOM 1647 Lacks agave, strong chemical/alcohol aroma and flavor. This is not good.

Standard flavors found in this class of tequila

Little musk and funk on the nose, green apple and black licorice. Notes of orange peel, cinnamon and spice, ends with white pepper and a pretty long finish. At home in a cocktail

  • 83 Rating

Really interesting aroma mostly good with some strong alcohol. Aroma is earthy with minerals. Taste is good and not too hot. Finish is nice with long-lingering pepper and agave.

A Fruity & Spicy tequila. Aroma: cooked agave, green apple, dill, ripe plantain, and marzipan. Palate; peppercorns and butternut squash with some Black pepper.

I can’t get past that proprietary yeast, it’s a pretty honest effort from Cofradia and one of the better products I’ve tried. Still not recommended, if this. Rand wants to be taken seriously they should find an alternate producer.

It’s a bit hot on the finish, but it’s also high octane tequila. I like it!

NOM 1137- Aromas of cinnamon, pepper, and spice, with minerals, and a musty aroma, with citrus, vegetal, floral and some anise (licorice) notes. It has a potent taste with a hot cinnamon presence and a musty, sharp, mild fruit, citrus and spice presence, along with some sweet agave notes. It is pleasant enough to sip, but in a hi-proof cocktail, this agave sweetness and alcohol punch, would cut through the mixed flavors and add a tasty zest. Decent price for an over proof blanco.

Sharp aroma with agave and noticeable alcohol sting. Also, a bit of an unpleasant rubber-like note. Flavor is rich and full with cinnamon, black pepper and a hint of fruit sweetness. The finish is short. 6/29/2017

Great neat and great mixed, great value, bold and unique flavor.

  • 80 Rating

Strong agave flavor, maybe a tad harsh for my taste.

  • 83 Rating

This tequila needs time to open up like many other Blanco's I have found. I believe the sharpness will go away and the agave will come forward.

  • 75 Rating

Aroma: notes of agave, citrus/fruit, floral, cinnamon Taste: notes of agave, pepper, oak, chocolate, caramel, cinnamon, lime Finish: strong

  • 72 Rating

incredibly raw agave notes. a pleasant surprise and additive free. I understand why some people are put off by the strong agave and watermelon taste, but this tequila its original and with personality

  • 85 Rating

NOM 1137 Strong oldish mosto funk smell, I liked it but others didn’t lol then cooked agave, earth, ethanol, and cinnamon. Tastes better than it smells, ethanol isn’t as potent. Medium/short finish. I didn’t like the backend as much. This is better than the new nom release

NOM 1647 | A little spicy Okey taste

  • 77 Rating

NOM 1647 | Nose - Earthy, raw agave Taste - Surprisingly vegetal Finish - Slight cooked agave, hints of menthol

  • 80 Rating

The high score is driven by the excellent value. Overall it's Pretty Not bad if you're looking for an inexpensive (sub $20 for me) tahona crushed tequila for mixing or sharing with acquaintances...friends should get something that scores higher than a value driven 80.

NOM 1647 | NOM 1647 short squat bottle . Only bought cuz local blow out price and seemed to have potential based on labeling & write up claims . Was a bit harsh , some pear, mint, a lot of weird alcohol & some long lingering chemical medicinal tastes . Just ok for mixer , def not a sipper . Sorry folks , maybe new NOM is better ?

  • 75 Rating

Pretty bland and lifeless to me personally. Not nasty like I thought it might be. Works in a pinch.

  • 70 Rating

Smells like house paint Tastes like sweet house paint Finish is like - not house paint , more like spaghetti and meatballs

Astral Tequila - It's 'Interesting'

For the money, Astral Tequila is a good high proof, clean blanco. As a sipper it could be a little rough around the edges, but perfect for a high quality mixed cocktail. So keep drinking tequila, and as Jonathan would say.... Stay thirsty my friends.

Blanco Tequila: The Great Divide

While the panel’s favorites were complex, elemental and intriguing, we were troubled by a lack of intensity in many of the bottles as well as by a sense of artificiality in some. As Florence put it, we found a great divide between those tequilas we liked

Tequilas worth a shot (or sip)

When it comes to tequila, the basic choice is simple: 100% agave, or not 100% agave. Of course, this is like saying that when it comes to music, there’s Mozart or there’s a guy named Steve-O playing the kazoo version of Eine kleine Nachtmusik alone in a b
