ArteNOM Tequila

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.
