NOM 1459 | A sweet mess

unnaturally sweet. popular Total Wine brand. the line is sweeter as you get to the aged expressions (especially the cristalinos). fine if you like that flavor profile, but not for me

Nose: Maybe some agave, very sweet and not much else Flavor: overly sweet, some agave in the background, but the sweetness just takes over Finish: sweetness and ends peppery

Aroma: notes of agave, alcohol, mint Taste: notes of agave, pepper, chocolate, vanilla Finish: smooth

Alcohol, raw agave and artificial sweetener come to mind on this tequila.

Candy note registers (exhale tasting method), sweetness lingers. No dominant aromas, just alcohol

$43

Elevated level of sweetness; mechanical artifical sweetness lingers in the mouth. This is a no go for me, my wife enjoyed it though. I will use it for making sweetened margaritas until it's gone. It won't become a staple in my collection.

this tastes like a sugar cube schnapps. obvious sweetener/additives present.

Sweet tequila. Too sweet for me! Jacob liked it

Mi Familia Blanco (@ Total Wine) Summary: I would avoid this sweet Blanco expression. See Don Heiser's tasting notes.

Hollow

Definitely sweeter than I prefer, but a decent blanco overall. Basic citrus/agave/pepper notes. Easy to drink. I don’t regret this as a bar pick but there’s better for the same money and less.

a bit flat, bad after taste. rough finish good budget

Additive Bomb Sickeningly Sweet

Tastes like perfume with glycerin.

Too sweet

It would probably be a good tequila if it wasn’t so sweet.

A contract distillery. Currently making 62 labels. I purchased this because I have many “Flores” family members. This has an oily mouthfeel and a very sweet linger. There is some agave in the flavor but it gets overwhelmed by the sweetness on the finish. I recommend this only to new folks who have not developed an appreciation for the agave and pepper and subtle flavors that tequila is capable of. This tastes additive enhanced. I can’t hate it but I can’t love it. The bottle is nice and I think my granddaughter will use it in her room. As a big aside. I purchased this at Total Wine and they had big displays of all the line. It was recommended by a salesperson. I take responsibility for my “suckerness”. Buy the Forteleza instead.
