How do you pick out a tequila when there are so many options?
Hundreds of brands here at Old Town Tequila in San Diego. But one of the secrets is to look for the NOM number. Every single tequila has an NOM number on the back. This one is 1414 from the distillery of Vivanco. What that means is that's the distillery that has taken production control of this tequila. It's typically where the tequila is actually distilled or bottled. If you like this brand, and I certainly like Alma del Jaguar, you might then look for other tequilas that have the same NOM number that also have a 1414. For example, this Espacial, which is also 1414, so it's made by the same people at the same place. If you like this one, you'll probably like that one. Now, are they made differently? Of course! The tequilas aren't exactly the same, but there is a house style for every distillery, meaning that both these brands probably have similar flavor profiles. If you like this one, you'll probably like that one.
