Show Notes

Can I guess the NOM just by taste? In this tequila blind tasting challenge, I test my palate to identify the NOM numbers of each pour. Tequila blind tasting, NOM guessing, and flavor analysis ahead! In this video, I take on a unique challenge: blind tasting four different tequilas and trying to guess their NOM numbers based purely on flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel. From the sweet tones of highland agave to earthy lowland profiles, I break down what makes each tequila stand out. We’ll talk about what the NOM number really means, why it’s so important when buying tequila, and how you can use it to find better bottles and avoid mass-produced tequilas with additives. Featured NOMs in This Challenge: • NOM 1414 – Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados (Siempre, Yeyo, Lost Lore) • NOM 1579 – El Pandillo (G4, ArteNOM, Volans) • NOM 1123 – Cascahuín (Cascahuín, Siembra Valles) • NOM 1599 – Distillery La Tequileña (Valor Tequila) Which NOM do you reach for the most — 1414, 1579, 1123, or 1599? Drop your go-to bottle in the comments and let me know if you think you could guess the NOM in a blind tasting! ⸻ Like & Share Outro (for end of video): If you enjoyed this NOM tasting challenge, hit that like button, subscribe for more tequila deep dives, and share this video with someone who swears they can taste the difference between highland and lowland!
