Pasote Tequila Blanco

Nom 1584

NOM 1579 El Pandillo’s expression.

Produced in Pueblo San Julian, Jaliesco, Mexico, NOM 1584; 100% blue weber agave, stone oven, double distilled, no additives. Tasted neat, room temp. Clear and big coating lesgs in the glass. Nose is floral vegetal, briny yet sweet. Whiff of mineral smoke and lime. Rain on warm concrete. In the mouth, sweet grass, strong saline and stone minerals, sweet and funky and earthy (maybe more than smoky). Rich coating mouthfeel goes on and on. Only a hint of ethanol. A little dry lime, bluestem grass, and pepper shows up in the slow, vegetal finish. More of a funky, earthy, and mineral profile than citrus; funk clouds a clear agave flavor. I like the mineral part. Great coating mouthfeel and lingering aftertaste. Great tall bottle and minimalist labeling (not the old sprayed white paint Aztec design shown on the main listing). A nice earthy sipping blanco.

Fresh, peppery, lightly vanilla perfumed and vegetal forward nose. The agave comes through with flying colors. Very round mouthfeel with slightly creaminess on the tongue. The approach is clean, flavorful and has a white pepper spice on the back of the palate. A medium-long finish, with the vanilla coming out at the very end. A wonderfully evocative blanco that will have you sipping straight from a copita or elevating your platinum Margaritas.

Sweet and herbal. Slight burn

Neat. Nose is rich with agave, minerals, cooked fruits, with brine, vegetal, black pepper, and citrus notes. Taste is sweet with fruity agave, brine, pepper, citrus, stone fruits, some herbs and vegetation. Finish is long, sweet balanced with tartness, pepper, citrus pith, and An excellent blanco. Rich with agave and fruit, balanced with complex, but nuanced flavors to discover over a sipping session
