    Item no.: 22227865-6418

    Behind a NOM number hides a distillery, a master distiller and a philosophy. ArteNOM 1146 Añejo is Tequileña's statement on how far an agave can travel in nearly three years.

    Expert Description

    ArteNOM 1146 Añejo Tequila is a 100% Agave Mexican Añejo Tequila with an ABV of 41.3%. The name refers to NOM number 1146, which belongs to the Tequileña distillery in Jalisco, where master distiller Enrique Fonseca oversees production. The agaves are grown in the highlands near Atotonilco el Alto, where mineral-rich soil and higher elevation give an intense, sweet and aromatic agave profile.

    The tequila is additive-free and undergoes an ageing process of nearly three years: first a minimum of 14 months in used Cabernet Franc barrels from France's Loire Valley, then a further minimum of 14 months in toasted American oak barrels previously used for Canadian whisky or Tennessee rye. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with Mendoza wine yeast, giving a clean and controlled process.

About ArteNOM

ArteNOM 1146 Tequila Añejo is one of the most characterful examples in the series, made by Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca at the respected Tequileña distillery in the town of Tequila. The agaves are grown in the highlands near Atotonilco el Alto, where mineral-rich soil and higher elevation give an intense, sweet and aromatic agave profile that stands clearly apart from lowland-style tequilas. Because every bottle in the series is tied to a specific, named distillery rather than an anonymous house blend, ArteNOM appeals especially to curious drinkers wanting to understand the differences between Jalisco's many terroirs.

History & Background

ArteNOM is a tequila series where each release honors a specific Mexican distillery under its official NOM number (Norma Oficial Mexicana), the registration number all Mexican tequila distilleries are assigned by the authorities. The concept was created to give consumers insight into which specific distillery a given tequila actually comes from, a question otherwise often obscured behind marketing names. The series thus brings together several of Jalisco's historic and lesser-known distilleries under one shared release platform. ArteNOM has become particularly popular among tequila enthusiasts wanting to explore differences in style and terroir across distilleries.

Production & Style

The agave plants grow and are processed differently depending on which distillery each release comes from.

Signature Style

The flavor varies by release, but builds on an earthy, authentic agave expression.
