Nose: Cooked agave comes through first, wrapped in a layer of oak and vanilla. Cinnamon spice lingers in the background, while crème brûlée adds a soft, sweet creaminess. A light note of dried berries edges in, giving the profile a slightly tart undercurrent beneath the richer tones. Palate & Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel leans medium-thin, with caramel arriving early before a touch of oak astringency takes hold. Agave and vanilla follow, though feels a bit subdued. Barrel spice is generous, almost dominating, while citrus and dried berries push in with a sharper, tangy edge that adds brightness but also tips the balance. Finish: Clean and quick, with only a faint trace of the agave, citrus and spice hanging on. Final Thoughts: There’s a distinctive sharpness here that leans into tart dried berry territory, but it doesn’t sit comfortably with the rest of the profile. The agave is present but overshadowed by an abundance of barrel spice, leaving the whole experience feeling a touch unbalanced.

Reminds me of Juan Lobo, also from 1414. Oak, smoke, some barrel notes of toasted oak. Less ethanol spike on the finish. Thanks tequila.diva for the sample

Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Carmel, Almond, Honey, Oak, Champagne Yeast Mouthfeel: Medium-Bodied Palate: Carmel (slightly muted) Honey (slightly muted, Oak/Barrell notes, Walnut Finish: Honey, Oak, Walnut, Vanilla, Coffee ( about a minute after the sip) This one has something about it that is kind of off, I can't quite out my finger on it but I will say that there are some notes that taste a bit muted for some reason.

Interesting. First time trying this brand. The nose is nice. The palate has some strange flavors. There are nice flavors of agave but there is a secondary flavor that I can’t place I would not go as far as saying it taste bad but it is unusual. The finish is nice and mouthfeel is nice.

Tasted at Arte agave Atl 25. Well made, similar to other 1414 tequilas. Might be worth trying if you can find it at a decent price.

A lot going on here. Nose has lots of petrichor, minerals, agave, wet wood, cloves. Palate has agave, butter, pepper, barrel spice, and some oak. Pepper and vanilla finish. Really nice repo!

Sampled at Kenny 18 Bottle Shop in Atlanta. It’s another quality offering from 1414. Nose - Earth and oak with faint caramel . Agave isn’t immediately apparent but it develops after a few minutes. Some spices. Palate - More oak and some nuttiness. Slightly sweet caramel. Again the agave isn’t immediately there. It finishes a bit dry with a coffee bitterness at the very end.

Always weary of “pretty bottles” but I’m impressed with the Tequila inside. Nose: oak, earth, agave, fruits, toffee Taste: agave gets a little lost with the barrel notes, but pick up oak, butterscotch, baking spices, toffee
