Feliciano de 1414 ArteNOM Tequila

Tequila ArteNOM Seleccion de 1414 Reposado is 100% Blue Weber Agave and contains no additives whatsoever. Distillery located in Arandas, Jalisco with Master Distiller Sergio Cruz. ArteNom 1414 Reposado Tequila is made from agave grown at 5,400 feet, another high elevation tequila. Aged for four months in third-fill ex-bourbon American White Oak casks, the ArteNom 1414 Reposado has a very light gold tinge and is almost clear in the glass. It’s refreshing to see a tequila company celebrate the naturally light color of reposado tequila rather than mask or color it. Even though it only spent a few months in casks, the wood notes from the cask are apparent on the nose with roasted agave mixing with strong cinnamon, light oak, and an undercurrent of vanilla. The finish is long and spicy with white pepper, cinnamon, hot pepper, and clove lingering on the palate. Tequila is one of the more highly regulated spirits on the market. To be labeled “Tequila”, a spirit must be made from Blue Webber Agave grown in Mexico, and distilled and bottled in a small set number of regions, with the majority coming from Jalisco, Mexico. Each bottle of tequila has a unique number on it called “NOM” which lets you know exactly which distillery manufactured it. Because there are a limited number of distilleries located in approved tequila producing areas, some distilleries manufacture spirits for a number of tequila labels.
