ArteNom Seleccion de 1414 Tequila Reposado

This expression is from the NOM (distillery) 1414 in Arandas in the highlands of Jalisco at an elevation of 5,400'. This is one of the few areas in Jalisco that mingles plantings of citrus trees in their agave farms providing a very unique terroir. The area is known for its distinctively mineral local water-source that they use to bring the distilate to bottling proof. The tequila then ages in 3rd fill barrels which allows the true agave to shine through the aging process. The result is a simultaneously tropical and mineral tequila with notes of green banana leaves, pineapple, wet stones, and salty lime zest.
