ArteNOM Selección 1146 Añejo is a meticulously crafted tequila from Tequileña Distillery (NOM 1146) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco.

The nose opens with deep aromas of roasted agave, red fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the palate, flavors of dark chocolate, baking spice, caramel, and dried fruit unfold, balanced by earthy agave sweetness and subtle tannins from the wine cask influence. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of oak spice, cacao, and warm fruit.
Rich, refined, and truly distinctive, ArteNOM Selección 1146 Añejo exemplifies how agave spirit and innovative barrel aging can create an extraordinary tequila. Best enjoyed neat, it is an unforgettable sipping experience for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
