Oro azul repo 1079 Thank you Scott Perry! Amazing old school "bubblegum" profile, tropical fruit, agave, barrel notes

  • 86 Rating

NOM 1079 | Oro Azul Reposado 1079 “Frosty Bottle” Nose: Bright, with classic agave at the forefront, mingling with a wave of olive brine. Tropical fruit notes arrive alongside citrus, while a subtle vinous nuance adds depth without overwhelming. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium-thin on the tongue, the flavors come forward with gentle balance. Agave and citrus lead, giving way to strawberry licorice and a touch of anise. Finish: Clean and approachable, with spice kept in check. What lingers are the fruity tones that are vivid and slightly reminiscent of strawberry Twizzlers in the best way. Overall Thoughts: This expression exemplifies a trend I’m noticing with early 2000s NOM 1079 releases: a bright, tropical fruit profile paired with a restrained hand on the spice. Distinct and refreshing, it stands out for its balance and personality, offering something playful yet very grounded in every sip.

NOM 1079 | Floral, fruity, tutti frutti, green tropical fruits and barrel influence is minimal Extremely harmonious profile with such a great personality and old school personality. Wished they still made tequilas this way

NOM 1079 | Agave and floral on the nose, reminds me of a white wine. At first taste after opening this Lot 174 bottle from 2005(?), flavors start to pop with agave, white pepper, anise, light oak, and a touch of barrel spice. This feels like it’s own thing, in a good way. Very enjoyable. Glad I found a rare old bottle!

NOM 1580 | Very nice aroma with cooked agave, vanilla and caramel with a hint of anise. The taste is full of flavor with agave, caramel, and a bit of butterscotch. The finish is long lasting with caramel, cooked agave, and a little spice.

NOM 1580 | No info could be read from 2017 marbete. Color: light yellow. Aroma: very light cooked agave notes, mineral, alcohol sensation is low. Palate: light cooked agave notes, light acitron, slight acidity, good sweet and sour balance. Finish is short to medium, light cooked agave with light acitron notes persist.

NOM 1079 | Marbete is from 2007. Color: very light yellow. Aroma: sweet cooked agave, stone fruit, wood notes are barely noticeable, ethanol sensation is medium. Palate: sweet cooked agave, very slight wood notes, simple but pure! Finish is medium to long, sweet cooked agave notes lingers on!

NOM 1079 | Wow, this was a pleasant surprise from original NOM 1079 . Love the bottle design, the juice is so smooth with NO fake overtones like soo many others . Thick agave , butterscotch and caramel with background oak , zero burn . This is def a quality reposado tequila at a great price point . Will have to compare to the new NOM which is always scary and disappointing.

Review #207 - Oro Azul Tequila Reposado

What tequila doesn't NOM 1079 make? I read good things about this one and the bottle looked good. The price isn't too high, so why not give it a shot.
