Nose- agave, oak, caramel, honey, pepper
Taste- agave, dark caramel and malaises, cinnamon (redhot) oak, slight pitted fruit like plum, little chocolate on the end, and nice peppery finish
Nice viscous mouthfeel
Given the pedigree (123, El Luchador, Los Alamos, Don Abraham - all outstanding tequilas), i had high expectations for this juice. It just simply fell a little flat. It was too sweet for my palate. It smelled sweet and tasted sweet. I had to search for agave. Overpowering brown sugar. I love 1480 and what The Montez’ do there. This one just didn’t blow me away.
NOM 1480

Nose is soft and sweet with hints is agave and vanilla. Light straw-color in the glass. Creamy / silky mouthfeel. A bit peppery on the palate with more “bite” than the Blanco. Some agave, strong black pepper, leather and tobacco tones. Finish is tingly, long and dry.
Aroma - raost agave, black pepper, alcohol
Flavor - sweet agave, chocolate, butter
Finish - smooth, more like and anejo
Very complex flavor profile. Impressive
