Nose: Carmel, Oak, Agave, Cinnamon, Vanilla, when I say vanilla, I mean extract. it seems like there are some artificial notes that come out as well. That said, the nose isn't objectively bad. It's just not objectively what I've come to expect or appreciate in a Tequila Taste/Finish: This is suspiciously sweet. I get carmel, oak, fruit, and an unnatural concentration of these flavors. Especially the fruit and vanilla. The finish is carnel and fruit along with an artificial based flavor that I associate with McCormick Extracts. Not my Favorite.

As much as I’ve moved beyond these types of products, I admit a bit of a soft spot for this one as it was truly the gateway for me into a life of tequila enjoyment. It’s clearly full of additives, but I find Adictivo to be one of the least offensive in that there’s actually some agave detectable. It’s still super sweet and a bit artificial, but not a pure vanilla cupcake bomb like Casamigos and the like. It actually tastes a bit like ‘real’ tequila. That said, I now know there are many great additive-free options around the same price point.

NOM 1477 | Aroma-caramel, over stimulating sweet. Artificial sweet w/moderately high alcohol notes. Flavor- think the southern comfort of tequila. Strong burnt sugar flavor. Inkling of agave. Finish- ok. Smooth but phony sweetness and glad to be done with this one.

NOM 1653

syrup!!!

Very sweet.

Very sweet finish.

caramel and honey on the sweeter side but so smooth. very enjoyable. my after dinner go to.

Tart cherry or cinnamon on the nose… a little more burn than I would like for this price point (purchased in Canada), but nice overall flavour: fruits, cinnamon, oak. Would drink again if someone else bought it for me!

Sweet for a tequila beginner. Over priced as are all tequilas with additives. Clase Azul is more expensive. Buy this one. Taste the same.

Like the name suggests, addictive, that’s what you will feel, super sweet and vanilla flavoured Tequila. I just think the flavour is too synthetic for my taste. However for regular public they will find a sweet vanilla tequila flavour.

Extremely sweet. Doesn't really taste like tequila.

The taste is pretty good. But. It's sweet.

An aroma of cooked and raw agave, vanilla, fruit (artificial), and a touch of oak, a bit herbal, and a bit too artificially sweet smelling for me. Initial flavors of agave, vegetation, spice, and black pepper, turning to alcohol, pepper and smoke, with a short, smokey finish. Better than the reposado christalino. This is less artificially sweet and doesn’t have the medicinal bits. I would not buy more. Even at a lower price point.

Cognac barrels Double distilled

Alcohol Caramel, nutty

Just amazing. 8 months aged. Good paring with deserts. Gonna be nice to coat the mouth and with a side of rocks and soda water. Good pair with sweet & savoury (ex: quesabirria). French oak. Notes include (cinnamon,honey,apples, all spice etc…)

Sweet agave, honey, delicate oak flavour

Sweet. Very sweet. Like a dessert. Pronounced vanilla, caramel and maybe cinnamon. Light tingle finish on the tongue. I could see people hating this taste. It left me feeling like it was synthetic. I wouldn’t drink this alone. Pair it with food. Or if you like cocktails it might work in one. I drink my tequila neat. Recommended but with caveats.

Agave, Oak, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Caramel, Vanilla, Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar

Sweet, slight spice, nice finish.

very sweet, too syrupy like a mouth coating. Not a fan of this offering.
