“The first thing I get is cooked agave, followed by some vanilla, light caramel and a little oak. On the palate, it’s smooth and easy to drink, with the agave still showing through. I also get some baking spice and a touch of sweetness from the barrel. The finish is medium, warm and slightly sweet, with the agave and spice lingering for a bit. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. I like that the barrel adds some character without taking away from the agave. It feels balanced and very easy to sip.”

“NOM 1449. I tried this again because I vaguely remember liking it some years ago, before being exposed to “really good” tequila. I don’t notice much agave, if any, on the nose. It’s mostly an herbal spice (thyme, or rosemary, perhaps?) and butterscotch. It has a unique taste that is very sweet, with hints of cinnamon and caramel. The finish is long-ish and pleasing to the taste buds - leaving an aftertaste of citrus/orange, mint, and some barrel flavoring. I can see why non-purists like this expression. It is very smooth and provides a wide range of varying, and pleasant flavors, but agave isn’t prominent among them. It’s a good sipper if price is no object for you. ”

Casamigos Tequila Reposado

“NOM 1609. Bottle says: “Notes of a smooth vanilla finish.” The nose is very sweet, but only the slightest hint of agave. There’s also pepper and vanilla additive, and there’s a slight odor of something burnt (barrel smoke, maybe?). Cream soda and vanilla dominate the taste. Again, little to no agave. It’s artificially sweet and kinda tastes like cake batter. The mouthfeel is not oily. It’s clean, but burns with a short to medium finish and an aftertaste of saccharine or diet cream soda. The Reposado is definitely a step up over the Blanco expression, but not a good sipper in my opinion. The brand is over-hyped and the bottle is over-priced. ”

“NOM 1609. Bottle says: “Notes of a smooth vanilla finish.” The nose isn’t bad. There’s a hint of agave and pepper, but mostly vanilla additive. The taste is metallic, though, and not as pleasant as the nose suggests. There’s some agave and vanilla still, but they are overwhelmed by the alcohol and pepper tastes. The mouthfeel is not oily. It’s clean, but burns with a short to medium finish and an aftertaste of varnish or solvent. This is probably OK as a shot at a bar, with salt, a lime wedge, and a beer chaser; but it’s definitely not a sipper. Not for me, but I had to see what the (over) hype was about. ”

“Great value repo. Major value points for this one. Very basic profile, not a ton of barrel influence but there is enough. Agave still present, plus some light oak and caramel notes.”

Arette Gran Clase Extra Añejo

“This Gran Clase is 65 months aged (almost 5-1/2 years) in Woodford Reserve barrels Lots of barrel notes on this XA. Aroma: oak, fruits, toffee, spices Taste: caramel, oak, nuts, toffee, dried fruit, baking spices. Cool that the XA is expression is all single barrel. Every bottle/batch is unique. A little spendy in the range of XAs. Delicious nonetheless.”

“The aroma opens with wood, barrel spice, and molasses, while green agave and a persistent green vegetal note continue to cut through the profile. On the palate, oak and char lead into vanilla, barrel spice, and caramel. A waxy vegetal tone remains present, joined by black pepper, barrel spice, and a deeper sweetness. The finish lingers with vanilla and barrel spice, along with a persistent waxy vegetal note. I can enjoy the crisp grassiness of the Blanco, but with this expression, the added barrel influence softens the virid taste and intertwines it with sweeter flavors, a pleasing balance between the agave’s green taste and the oak’s richness.”

Paladar Tequila Blanco

“The smell starts off with pepper, agave, and a fruity aspect that I can not quite identify. The taste starts off with pepper and mint, which transitions into cooked agave, vegetable notes, and a faint fruity aspect that faintly reminds me of bananas. Overall I thought it was decent but I think there are many other better brands for the same price.”

“the aroma is very pleasant as I took in the sweetness of toffee , vanilla , and butterscotch, along with floral undertones. my palate noticed the silky creamy vanilla , toasted coconut, and caramel. with light notes of baking spices , such as cinnamon and clove. it's finish is subtle as an exceptional, smooth sipper comparable to high-end dessert-style tequilas I found it to be short to mid finish could be used as a mixer but it's much nicer for a after dinner sipper instead of that heavy cheese cake. since it gives you that dessert style tequila ”
