Which NOM tequila is considered the best?

No NOM is officially the best. The NOM is a four-digit number that identifies the distillery where a tequila was made, so it tells you who made a bottle, not how good it is. Many distilleries make several brands. Some distilleries do have strong reputations with enthusiasts.

NOM 1123 is Cascahuín in El Arenal, NOM 1414 is the Vivanco family's El Ranchito in Arandas, NOM 1493 is Fortaleza and NOM 1139 is La Alteña, home of Tapatío. Our best sipping tequila ranking lists the NOM for every bottle it scores. TROPA is produced at NOM 1412 in the highlands of Jalisco.
