PASOTE BLANCO TEQUILA

Excellent tequila, will purchase again.

Pasote Blanco from El Pandillo Nom 1579 is a tremendous Blanco. Sweet cooked gave (but not too sweet), minerals, butter, melon and pepper taste. Tequila as tequila was made 3-4 decades ago. Perfect.

This tequila combines incredible sweet agave taste, with that elusive spiciness, all it lacks to be the best tequila ever, is the oily buttery mouthfeel of Oro Azul. For the tequila purist (aka the blanco drinker) this is about as good as it gets in 2021, and the low price is just the icing on the cake!

Aromas of cooked agave, citrus, herbal, mineral, lime, smoke, spring water, rain water, egg plant. Palate: follows the aromas and adds zesty citrus, lime balm, and white pepper. Finish is long with lots of agave.

My favorite Blanco by a mile. The rain water used to make this tequila really comes through. Light on the tongue with lasting mineral and agave and flavors.

Aroma: Is colorful yet reminds us of wet clay (earthy). Taste: A bouquet of many colors. It was a delightful surprise. Not overpowering yet you can taste the “dirt”. A true & smooth Blanco with just the right “kick”.

I love blanco tequilas and this is among the best that there is!

Love this blanco tequila but its very hard to find. What's the deal? Do they produce it anymore?

Pasote blanco is the latest product from NOM 1579, Destileria El Pandillo, which is owned by Felipe Camarena. The uniqueness comes from the water used to make this tequila. This product uses a combination of collected rainwater (200K L of storage) and natural spring water from a well on the distillery site in a 60%-40% ratio. The freshness of the rainwater can really be tasted along with a generous measure of agave and citrus. 2X distilled in copper pot stills mean that all the flavor and spice of the agave and water come through in every sip. Highly recommended.
