NOSE: Cooked agave, vanilla, cinnamon, floral notes. barrel spices, strong vegetal notes, honey, orange peel PALATE: Cooked agave, very citrus forward. Cinnamon, vanilla, pepper. More orange peel on the palate. A lot more caramel, honey. Very light barrel, very light cocoa. Very complex palate after it opened up a bit. Started to get a little butter and butterscotch even. FINISH: Lingers nicely. Very pleasant creamy finish

Alot of oak cinnamon and vanilla with citrus notes. Very good repo.

Nose: Cooked agave, vanilla, brine, petrichor, earth, citrus, and a touch of honey. A nice mix of sweet and savory - classic but with some nuance. Palate & Mouthfeel: Thinner mouthfeel than expected, but there’s still some grip. Cooked agave is front and center, followed by anise, black pepper, a good dose of vanilla, and a little oak rounding things out. Citrus threads through and lifts the profile just enough. Finish: Creamy but bright. Smooth, with a gentle linger that carries the vanilla and pepper. Final Thoughts: Solid across the board. At $60, this is a strong value thats accessible but not boring. There’s enough going on to keep an experienced drinker engaged, but it’s friendly enough to pull someone in early on their tequila journey. Easy to like.

This was a very enjoyable tequila. Well balanced, and full of warm character without losing the agave at its core. On the nose, you’re greeted with rich cooked agave layered with warm cinnamon and soft vanilla. There’s a mellow oak presence that brings depth, along with notes of caramel and a hint of citrus brightness. Baking spices weave through it all, and there’s a subtle mineral edge that keeps it grounded and clean. On the palate, the cooked agave is still front and center, which I love. It’s complemented by a gentle cinnamon spice and a touch of oak that adds some structure without dominating. Black pepper gives it a little kick, while silky vanilla and caramel provide sweetness and roundness. There’s a whisper of brine and anise on the back end, and the mineral note carries through for a dry, satisfying finish. This reposado hits a great balance. Rich but not overly sweet, and still very true to the agave. A thoughtful barrel influence adds complexity without overshadowing the core spirit. Definitely one I’ll revisit.

The more I drink this brand the more I like it! I really appreciate the samples that were sent to me! On the nose this when I get cooked agave a lot of pepper earth and some baking spices On the taste I get cooked agave and peppermint and cinnamon and a little bit of cream soda On the finish it has a great mouth feel that cinnamon comes in really strong with a lingering agave and a little bit of peppermint ! For a Repo I got very little barrel notes and an unbelievable flavor

Agave, oak and pepper on the nose and taste. Smooth, nice reposado. Used Chisholm Trail Standard proof Jarrito glass.

Nose: Agave, Oak, Almond, Anise, Wet Cement, Minerality, Leather, Vanilla, and Cinnamon Mouthfeel: Medium to Full-bodied Palate: Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Herbs and Minerality Finish: Agave, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Black Pepper, Arugula I find this to be a pleasant sipper. As much as I am confident about the quality of most products made at 1123, I find that I am more picky and less confident about their aged selections as they can totally be a hit or miss for me. This was a bullseye. Such a great combination here of savory, sweet, herbal aromas and flavors.

Nose: agave cooked / vanilla/ pepper/ earth / vegetal / pear / citrus / bell pepper/ tea / baking spice Taste: agave cooked / vanilla/ peppermint/ cinnamon/ pear / lime / anise / tea / baking spice / honey / molasses/ cream soda Finish: light viscosity mouthfeel that allows the peppermint note to coat the palate at the finish creating a very enjoyable experience/ lingering agave, vanilla, and peppermint keep on providing flavor for long after the last swallow This reposado is a very nice pour that brings forth some balance but still lets the sweet/pepper contrast play out through the whole tasting experience. The nose seems weak, but there are detectable aromas that match up on the flavor well.

Aroma: Agave, Floral, Minty, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Oak, Herbal, Minerals, Fruity Earthy,White Pepper Taste: Agave, Fruity, Floral, Vanilla, Mint, Herbal, Oak, Anise, Minerals, Earthy, White Pepper Finish: Very nice, sweet Agave, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Light Oak, with some Fruity and Floral notes ride this out. This, in my opinion, is the best Reposado coming out of 1123 as a normal offering!

Sweet Agave, lemon citrus which evolves into a peppery and spicy finish. Vanilla and oak presence. Very nice mouth feel and natural sweetness. Mild numbing and drying effect. Great pour!

Nice nose with little barrel, palate isn’t bad but not my profile

Bottle: Lote 470, 051223 Appearance: Apricot yellow Nose: Cooked agave, flowers, orange blossom, honeysuckle, vanilla, minerality, wet cement, butter, cinnamon, baking spices, citrus, orange, butterscotch, oak, honey, alcohol, herbal, melaleuca oil, eucalyptus, and black pepper…floral, herbal, and marvelous Palate: Cooked agave, leather, baking spice, cinnamon, black and white pepper, oak, alcohol, clove, nutmeg, baking spice, anise, olive, brine/salinity, rosemary, dry earth, minerality, raisin, and barrel spice…an unexpected, but welcome departure from the nose Finish: Cinnamon, butter, flowers, alcohol, and barrel spice…a suitably long and warming finish Overall: I mean, wow. It’s thick and sweet like honey, but dry and tannic like wine, while also floral and herbaceous without overpowering the cooked agave. It’s complicated, but still somehow so easy to drink and gets more enjoyable with every sip.

LOTE 470 #051223 This should be a standard for what a good tequila stands for. Smell of flowers and fruit. Taste of agave, honey and light caramel. Beautiful. Much Love to 1123! 89 rating Tried a sample of the Great Lakes Tequila Club single barrel reposado. LOTE 555 Bottle #150824. This is even better than the original for me. So rich and layered. More barrel notes and complexity. 91 rating is for the single barrel. $129.99 Chicago price.

AgedAgave Select Barrel

Very nice repo with great barrel notes. Maybe it is the three barrels but it really brings forward the barrel spices. Nice cooked agave on the nose as well as a floral scent. The taste also brings forward the cooked agave, the barrel spices, cinnamon and a nice honey finish. The finish is rather long lasting with a nice agave presence.

Love this brand! Everything they make is delicious, and this reposado meets that expectation. This reposado is delicious! give it time to open up. it gets better and better. The nose is amazing! cooked agave, barrel spices, some cinnamon, floral and fruity. The palate is agave forward, barrel spices, anise, cinnamon and mild oak, which I like as I'm not a fan of overly oaky expressions, and this has just the right amount for me. The Finish is nice and long with warmth, sweet agave and anise. Chava, Steve and the crew hit another one out of the park with this one!

Nose: agave, dried stone fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, floral, and brine Flavor: cooked agave, anise bitterness, vanilla, baking spices, cinnamon, earthy, caramel and honey Finish: long with some spice and sweetness

NOM 1123 (Cascahuin)

I love Repos that taste more like a blanco than an Anejo (minimal oak). This repo with a mix of barrels has just enough oak influence to remind you this is not a blanco. Cinnamon and agave sweetness followed by that Michoacán spice I love.

A beautiful blend of three barrels, cooking, spice, dried fruit, light layer of caramel, vanilla and cinnamon. A slight brine and earthy notes. Lingering finish.

Nose is blanco+. Tons of agave character. Incredible flavor. Subtle sweetness and beautiful balance. Long finish, especially for the relatively minimal aging. This is a blanco-lovers reposado, and one of my new all-time favorites.

Nose- Brine, honey and a floral sweetness. Moth feel is velvety smooth with cooked agave, brine, and cinnamon. Finish- cooked agave with a salty brine undertone. Another win from Legado and NOM1123

Floral mineral aromas with a touch of leather. Flavors of sweet agave, cinnamon, honey, salt water, slight anise. Great legs. Barely any oak, nice and light for a Reposado. Excellent!

NOM 1123 | Nose is equal weights of minerality, citrus, balanced green and cooked agave, slight barrel notes like vanilla and cinnamon, floral. Enters the palate with barrel softness, rich toasted agave, velvet mouthfeel. Moves to clementines on mixed endive, anise and green melon. Finish starts with a hint of brine, agave and citrus and green stays at the top. Mid- to late finish a little cooked squash and watermelon appears. Finish lingers long with cooked agave, cooked sweet squash, melon and tame barrel spices. $59 kicks up the value.

NOM 1123 | Agave swap Nose: cooked agave, earth, mineral, hint of fruit Taste: cooked agave, black pepper, Finish: black pepper, earthy, vegetal
