Pasote Tequila is a new brand made by Felipe Camarena in his distillery, El Pandillo. Anything that comes out of this cool distillery is pretty much guaranteed to create some excitement. Pasote does not disappoint.
NOM 1584 | On the nose, FUNK. The agave is hiding behind that funk that I normally associate with cheaper products. If you told me this was an 1137 house blend, I would believe you. There’s agave there, hidden behind that overwhelming funk. A touch of vanilla. Cinnamon, butter, some floral notes. On the palate, that funk is ever present. The agave is very muted for me, it’s lost in that funky/swampiness. As it opens up, it’s there. Definitely some baking spices, cinnamon predominately. A little saline, something like cocoa. All in all, this isn’t a bad sipper by any means but don’t expect the old Pasote. It’s just not there, totally different beast. I personally will not be pursuing another bottle of this. But really, this is a shadow of its former self, a prime example of changing distilleries and coming out worse.
