NOM 1438 original bottle Reposado. The nose has caramel, vanilla, chocolate, spice and some butterscotch. Some coffee in the taste along with the others, but has a bit of an aftertaste and a touch too much of vanilla and caramel. A decent sipper, and comes with a cool man/jaguar bottle. Not convinced that absolutely no additives are involved.

Yikes, this is not good. Strange metallic note in the nose, mingled with what seems to be heavily manipulated oak notes. The initial entry is short and bland but quickly turns bitter. The finish can't finish fast enough. But hey, the bottle and legend are cool. Too bad the juice is so wretched.

I hate to say this, but it's about what I was expecting. The overall flavor is decent, but it's definitely one that would cater to someone who would buy a bottle for a cat/man face.
