It seems like NOM 1472 makes just about every tequila. If you aren't sure, you can assume that it's made by Fabrica de Tequilas Finos. Dos Manos is maybe their flagship brand and is well priced so that everyone can afford it. I've had plenty of the other juices (KAH, Kirkland Costco Tequila, Don Camilo, etc), so let's just jump right into this one.
Price: $20-25/bottle
Aroma: An inviting aroma of agave, oak, berries and baking spice.
Initial Taste: A fairly sweet agave entry with a compliment of fruit and vanilla.
Body: Medium to thin body for an añejo. The oak and cinnamon come in and give it a nice balance.
Finish: A medium length linger with some nice pepper and spice notes along with some oak and agave/vanilla sweetness.
For $25, this is something that everyone can enjoy. Good balance, nice sweetness without being overly sweet and enough agave to not be completely lost despite the aging. Just a good, solid value juice out of NOM 1472. Out of the tequilas that I've had from there, it most reminds me of Don Camilo with the strong spice aspect. If you're looking for a budget añejo, this one should be on your list of ones to check out.
