    “Let say this is one of my favorite high proof blanco tequilas. The nose I get citrus, chile ancho/black with strong agave flavor. On the palate I got Mexican chocolate, bell peppers and it coated medium to thick and flavors were pronounced. I was surprised how much I love this bottle!”

    “The nose to me . I get hints of raisins, dark fruit and light spice. The liquid coats the palate nice. I get hints of pear, cinnamon and spices. The flavors are bold and different. The flavor lingers after going down. It’s definitely one of the better bottles and I’m not a fan of Patron. Due to the fact there are better tequilas out there.”

    “This is a rich full bodied juice. You can taste the influence of each barrel in this tequila. It has light smoke/sweetness. The is hints of fruits and chocolate and I get a light toffee taste. The flavor lingers in the mouth and coats nicely. The only thing that keeps it from being a 100 rating is the price. This profile is unique and worth trying at least once. Congratulations German Gonzalez, this is a top notch, top tier tequila. I had bottle number 3. Opened 12-31-21”

    “I get raw agave and strong menthol scent, very grassy and citrusy. After the first sips I was done and this is my least favorite from this line. The ArteNom 1146, 1579, and 1414 are better than this. I look forward in trying ArteNom 1123 in the future.”

    “This has a pronounced oak note, cherry cola, and hints of spices on the nose. The palette I get dark fruits, peppercorn, fig and cinnamon. As the juice goes down it has a medium to long finish. The price keeps it from scoring higher.”

    “The aroma cooked agave, nutty. The palate dried fruits, vanilla, caramel and hint of chocolate, wood (oak) is definitely present. The flavor lingers medium to long. The higher proof It’s brings out rich and bold flavors of this juice. I purchased this in Dallas, Texas for $99.99, even at $120 the price point is solid. I definitely do recommend it.”

    “The aroma is like peach jam, apricot and pitted fruit. The oak to me over powers this juice. I’ve had better XA’s from the Camarena brothers (Carlos and Felipe) and Enrique Fonseca, Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia.”

    “The nose I get a strong alcohol smell and let it breathe before enjoying it. This is when the magic happens I get black pepper, citrus and it has strong agave flavor. The finish is long and lingers. I got this on sale and will say it’s going to be added to my liquor cabinet. Carlos Camarena is a true artist and craftsman. I prefer this one over the regular blanco. The flavor is more noticeable here.”

    “The mad scientist does it again. The aroma is beautiful, I get a herbaceous vibe from it. The profile is rich and full body, hints of fruits, pepper and spices, earthy. Coats the palette nicely. The flavors linger and have you wanting another pour. This is a wonderful juice.”
