ArteNOM Seleccion de 1414 Reposado

88 SCORE

“Appearance: Warm amber-gold with excellent clarity. Slow-forming legs hint at a rich, full body and layered complexity. Aroma: Immediate sweetness from cooked agave sets an inviting tone. Vanilla and caramel from oak aging meld with the agave. Toasted oak, light lemon & orange zest, delicate chamomile/jasmine, and gentle white pepper add balanced complexity. Flavor: A burst of roasted agave sweetness forms the core, layered with caramel and vanilla notes. Subtle oak smokiness deepens the profile. Refined peppery spice and fleeting citrus (lemon/orange) brighten the flavor. Smooth, buttery texture with herbal hints and slight fruitiness creates a harmonious journey. Finish : Long, elegant, and warming, with persistent sweetness and gentle spice. Oak and caramel echo the barrel aging, while refined pepper, herbal, and citrus hints provide a multifaceted aftertaste. Overall Review: ArteNOM 1414 Reposado epitomizes highland tequila artistry. Its layered aroma of cooked agave, vanilla, and oak merges with a complex flavor profile of caramel, spice, and citrus, culminating in a long, warming finish. The 8-month oak aging adds depth, making it both refined and inviting—ideal for sipping neat or in classic cocktails.”
