Irlandés Blanco (NOM 1588) Product Information * Brand: Irlandés Tequila * Expression: Blanco * NOM: 1588 * Distillery: El Mexicano * Agave: 100% Blue Weber Agave * ABV: 40% (80 Proof) * Additive-Free: Yes Brand Background Irlandés Tequila honors the Irish soldiers of the Saint Patrick’s Battalion who fought alongside Mexico during the Mexican-American War. Produced at NOM 1588, this blanco emphasizes traditional agave character with a profile rooted in minerality and fermentation. Nose Minerality leads the way, followed by fresh cooked agave and noticeable fermentation notes. The aroma is clean, authentic, and inviting, with just enough sweetness to round out the earthy character. Palate A medium-oily, almost creamy mouthfeel coats the tongue nicely. Cooked agave sweetness is joined by black pepper and cinnamon, while the fermentation character reappears on the back half of the sip, adding complexity without overwhelming the agave. The profile remains balanced throughout. Finish A pleasant warmth lingers for a while before fading into a simple, clean finish. It never becomes hot or harsh, making for an easy and enjoyable sip. Overall Irlandés Blanco is a traditional, agave-forward tequila that leans into minerality and fermentation while maintaining a creamy texture and balanced spice. It isn’t trying to be flashy or overly complex, but instead delivers an honest, well-made blanco that’s easy to enjoy and true to its production style. Score 89 / 100

This is an excellent Tequila from Nom 1588. Sweet carmelized agave, citrus with some earthy notes. Great story behind the brand as well !
