Tequila NOM number explained! Learn what a NOM number is, how to read a NOM number on tequila bottles, and why the tequila NOM code matters when choosing better tequila like NOM 1414, 1579, and 1123. In this video, I break down the NOM number in tequila—a 4-digit code that tells you exactly which distillery made your bottle. This is one of the most important things you can understand when buying tequila, especially if you care about quality, authenticity, and avoiding mass-produced, celebrity-backed brands. I also share some of my personal favorite NOMs: • NOM 1414 – Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados (Arette, Siembra Azul) • NOM 1579 – El Pandillo (G4, Pasote, ArteNOM 1579) • NOM 1123 – Cascahuín (Cascahuín, Siembra Valles, ArteNOM 1123) Whether you’re just getting into tequila or you’ve been sipping for years, knowing your NOMs will help you buy and enjoy tequila with confidence. Subscribe for tequila reviews, bottle breakdowns, distillery deep dives, and expert interviews weekly on Tasting Tequila with Brad. #TequilaNOM #WhatIsNOM #TequilaTips #TastingTequila #NOM1414 #NOM1579 #NOM1123 #TequilaEducation #AgaveSpirits #KnowYourTequila #DecodeTequila #TequilaBottleTips #tequilalovers © Tasting Tequila with Brad
