Review #1588 | Tequila Review #8
Distiller: El Pandillo
Bottler: El Pandillo
Brand: Pasote
Selection:
ABV: 40% ABV
Age: NA
Nose: Rich roasting agave, sweet pineapple, melon, mango, pepper. Agave character here is so rich, along with the faintest bit of smoke, and a salted caramel note.
Taste: Medium mouth feel, well behaved on the ethanol. Sweet pepper, roasting fruits, grilled pineapple, fresh bread and a hint of rock candy. Complex with a faint hint of smoke once more. Salted lime on the back palate.
Finish: Short finish but it’s complex and leaves some great flavor. Pepper, faint ash, lemon and mango, hint of salt and clay.
Overall: This has it all. Complex enough to drink, full bodied enough to live up in cocktails, quality production backing. I’m a big fan of this, and I think this is a very good tequila. It’s been a mainstay here for me for a while, and I don’t expect to change that any time soon.
Thanks for reading!
