374 Reposado - NOM 1522 - Tasted on 7/11/08 at 5:00pm.
I tasted this tequila in my home and used a Riedel glass for tasting.  374 ages
their Reposado in American Oak barrels for 9 months which causes it to be a
pale yellow color.  Intense floral and fruit aromas of this tequila are followed by
moderate-to-intense notes of earth and moderate notes of spice.  In the
mouth, the Reposado is thin-to-medium and mellow.  While the tequila is
semi-sweet, there is no bitterness.  When examining the flavors of 374
Reposado, first impressions include intense floral and fruit accents with
moderate-to-intense agave.  On a second sip, I noticed mild flavors of earth
with hints of vanilla.  This tequila finishes with a long duration of flavor and
subtle numbing alcohol intensity.  I awarded 374 Reposado the rating of 89/90
points out of 100.

bitterness.  When examining the flavors of 374 Anejo, first impressions include
moderate-to-intense floral accents with moderate agave, caramel, and vanilla on
the backend.  On a second sip, I noticed mild flavors of wood and fruit.  When

I tasted this tequila in a friend’s home and used a spirits glass for tasting.  374
does not age their Silver which causes it to be clear in color.  Intense medicinal
earthy aromas of this tequila are followed by moderate notes of fruit and floral
with mild notes of spice.  In the mouth, the Silver is thin and mellow.  While the
tequila is sweet, there is a hint of bitterness.  When examining the flavors of
374 Silver, first impressions include intense floral accents with moderate-to-
intense agave.  On a second sip, I noticed moderate flavors of earth and fruit
with mild spice.  This tequila finishes with a long duration of flavor and a tingly
