Pasote Tequila Blanco

Agave, minerals and earth on the nose; rainwater’s used in the production process and you can definitely smell it in there. The mineral aromas definitely carry through to the palate, along with agave and earthy flavors with some vegetal notes. This stuff is delicious, and easily my favorite blanco thus far.

The aroma of this tequila is intoxicating. Instantly reminded me of a hot August day, right before a fierce thunderstorm rolls in. The smell of the mineralality from the hot earth, grass and paved surfaces. The sharpening magnetism and welcome break in the humidity as the breeze kicks up. I can almost see the distant haze over the cornfields loosening, the darkening skies approach closer and the thunder cracks rumble louder and louder. Superb use of the rain water in the distillation here. Very smooth and inviting nose with wintergreen, vanilla, citrus peel and slight vegetal notes rolling in. The body is smooth and velvety with a little added viscosity but remains very crisp and refreshing. The palate is rich with the above characteristics however, adds a touch of luxurious sweetness with hints of caraway, white pepper and black olive arriving late. Very approachable to even the newest Blanco tequila drinkers and very unique and robust for the seasoned connoisseur. A delicious and welcome addition to the Blanco market that is truly worthy of the modest price.
