Pasote Tequila Blanco

No color. When you first open the bottle it's quite closed and dry. However, that austerity goes away beyond the neck with a little bit of time and air. The nose remains somewhat muted with aromas of fresh agave, white pepper, a freshly opened ream of white paper, poblano, tomatillo, cement, lime, ash, red apple, a bit of diesel -- and for lack of a better term, some coca leaves or high-quality cocaine. Admittedly, I have very little experience with hard drugs. Still, I've served this to a couple friends more knowledgeable than I, and they have agreed that there is a certain South American accent to the nose. But, the star of the show is clearly the palate. Unctuous, oily, and earthy with flavors of dark chocolate, fresh fennel, dried blueberry, kirschwasser, a touch more citrus, grass, celeriac syrup, and cacao nibs. The dry finish is driven by the dark chocolate and cacao earthy notes with a bit of sea salt and hints of peanut and almond. It kind of tastes like some diabetic or hippy candy brittle that's actually good for you. Superb!

smooth & bright with citrus and pear

89” Pasote Blanco Nose: Evergreen Agave Hint of cinnamon Preamie smoke Lime Background vanilla baking spice Oily agave Lime Intense something (salty Oil on lips Citrus Pepper that comes back later Sweet cinnamon olive (yes altogether) This stuff is insane. The oil leaves a residue that is like chapstick after it has soaked in. 🤯 Rain water Love the vegetal finish

Agave, pepper, some lingering fruit. Definitely get the minerality. Quite smooth. Nothing not to like here.

not what i expected for the price point... Definitely a mixer and not a sipper at all (It mixes damn good with pineapple juice)
