              @Jett129 both have a minerality I love, but as the still strength rests, a florality comes forth that is exceptional. Plenty of agave in both. The still strength benefits from waiting after the pour.

              I’m curious why there is a roller mill involved and what the balance is between that and the tahona. But both are exceptional.

              Think it, be it.

                  @Jett129 glasses were from San Miguel de Allende, a gift from my wife. That’s what they sip tequila out of down there. I usually prefer a wider vessel but these work really well in their own way.

                  I tried the regular again (lot 4), then the still strength (lot 3). The latter drank hot as expected, so I nursed the regular for 20 minutes and then came back to a much improved still strength. I also set aside some still strength in a lowball glass with more surface area exposed to the air so I could enjoy more oxygenated sips later in the evening. I think this is up there with Fortaleza still strength. In the top tier of those I’ve tried.

                  Of course a blinded study of these among other products would be a better approach but it was cool to see how these evolve as they oxygenate.

                  Think it, be it.

                          @mclaincausey Sorry for not responding sooner,but I really appreciate you taking the time to write your impressions. One of the things I have learned especially with the higher proof/still strength tequilas is that the second sip is much more indicative of the spirits true qualities. I feel you would agree with me on this,as the first sip of a 100 proof spirit can be quite overwhelming and heat forward. As I might have imagined any spirit coming out of NOM 1123 would be exceptional. Thanks again!

                            @Jett129 of course! Definitely agree as usual. I didn’t use the frother this time and tend to lean towards letting the spirit oxygenate naturally, but it really is a fun tool to mix in from time to time to accelerate that process.

                            Think it, be it.

                                  Not exactly, there would be dry instead of sweet vermouth in a contessa I think?

                                    Not sure if this is a light variant or not since nonino is less bitter but higher abv. Regardless, anything with nonino is a favorite.
