About this episode
This Tequila Uses 4 Types of Oak… Here’s What Happened Mijenta Symphony Series No. 3 review, Mijenta tequila review, Symphony Series tequila, NOM 1499 tequila, additive free tequila, añejo tequila review, high proof tequila. Mijenta Symphony Series No. 3 just dropped, and this might be one of the most unique barrel-aged tequilas of 2026. This special release is aged for 18 months in custom “symphony barrels” built from multiple types of American oak — creating a layered and evolving aging process that’s very different from traditional tequila. But here’s the twist… This is the FIRST Symphony Series made at NOM 1499 Previous releases were produced at NOM 1412 Bottled at 45% ABV and unfiltered So the real question is: Does this experimental barrel concept actually improve the tequila… or just make a better story? In this review, I break down: ✔️ Nose, palate, and finish ✔️ Barrel influence vs agave balance ✔️ Impact of the NOM change ✔️ Whether this is worth your money This is a must-watch if you’re into additive-free tequila, high-proof expressions, or limited releases. Let me know in the comments — would you try this? © Tasting Tequila with Brad
