Huge agave nose due to the classic light barrel aging. vegetal on the palate with a long lingering pepper finish.

Bottle from Nasa liquors in TX

tasted at distillery on the BAT tour May 1, 2023

Agave and dried fruit up front ….. some oak and slight burn …. Somewhat complex …. Good sipper

Just wow. The way the agave, v caramel and fruitiness marries together is absolutely amazing.

Once in a while something special comes along. This definitely qualifies as special. Of course this being a Camarena juice, it hardly needs an intro. Either way this single barrel is a must have, must hunt gem. Limited run SB is unbelievably complex for a light repo. Agave driven, dried pineapple, dried apricot, berries, strawberries, cinnamon, minerals, so earthy!

This is something special. Very unique, delicious flavors of cooked agave and light barrel notes. Beautiful finish. New favorite Reposado

Adds another to the blanco that is just lovely. A flavor explosion but with a shorter finish than the blanco. Definitely recommend it.

Barrel 1, bottle 107

This is for Barrel 3, Bottle 604 Nose: Cooked agave. I get a compound butter of orange and honey, a gentle sweetness, hints of clove and nutmeg. Wet cement following a rainstorm. Flavor: I get earthiness and caramel, sweet cooked agave, and light spice of peppercorn, cinnamon and allspice. A light vanilla custard. Finish: Not very long, it starts spicy and ends with a slight sweetness of dried fruit. Notes: This is an outstanding tequila. I believe this tequila can be very food friendly. For example, a grilled pork tenderloin with a sweet chili rub.

Barrel 3 Bottle 604 tasting with Don Heiser Barrel 1 Bottle 266, Score 89

Aroma : Light fruits, cinnamon, butter and baking spices alongside agave and earth and mineral notes. Taste : Black pepper, earth, and mixed nuts are contrasted with sweet cooked agave, caramel and dried fruits. The oily texture has a great balance that's just the right amount of sweet but earthy and spicy. Finish : Long, warm, and inviting, perfect for the fall season.

Barrel 3- Nice spice, fruit, wet cement/wet earth, fresh and sugary sweet, but so clean and more, with tons of deliciousness

Barrel 3 so your mileage may vary.

Limited release Reposado single barrel #2, bottle 549. Agave, rainwater, wet cement, cinnamon, pepper, and apple finish extremely smooth, balanced, and sweet—with nice legs. Very light and mineral, for blanco lovers.

This is amazing great job again from Felipe. Earthy, sweet, agave, well done. Lovely I don't know which one is better between the blanco and this one. This is a must have.

Barrel 3, Bottle 690. Color is light straw. Medium to medium heavy viscosity. Aroma is somewhat reminiscent of El Tesoro de Don Felipe reposado at first, but has greater depth I probably won't fully appreciate on this first pour. Flavor is amazing - excellent representation of a reposado where agave meets oak and both are in harmony. The sweetness is just to my liking (hard to describe). Finish is very good - not much alcohol, but some nice toasted oak notes that continue through. Purchased for $75USD; fitting for the range, quality, and uniqueness, but perhaps a bit much for a reposado, in general. All in all, an excellent addition to the Volans range.

No soy de reposados, pero sin duda es una de las mejores opciones en el mercado, a un precio accesible y hecho con mucho amor por el volans team y por el Ing. Felipe; nuevamente queda en manifiesto que con el Pandillo no hay pierde

Aromas of butterscotch, vanilla, baking spices, dried fruit, floral notes and wet earth. Rich, silky texture and nice butterscotch taste with a mineral, black pepper finish, typical of El Pandillo. Well balanced and complex. The kind of repo you make sure to have on your bar!

Nose: Floral, fruity, spicy entrance. Light colored tree fruit: a hint of pear and aromas reminding me of honey crisp apples. A sweet/tart combo. A whiff of flowery orange blossoms. A warm spice blend of allspice, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Vanilla, caramel custard creamy aromas. Includes some subtle minerality. Flavor: Silky in the mouth. Velvety, and dynamic flavors working harmoniously. Hazelnuts, leather, caramel, spiced apples and some slightly sweet peppercorn warmth. There is a very unique sweet/herbal/sachet layer of flavor not found in other El Pandillo reposados. Nice balance.

Wow bought this based on ratings here and am totally impressed. great agave aroma and the flavor and finish. a stunner.

Even better than the regular reposado so worth the higher price tag if you can find it.

Lot: LV0001RB5, bottled on 02/06/2020, tasted on 3-9-24. Color: very light yellow. Aroma: light sweet cooked agave, light fruitiness, light acidity, light citrus, light earthiness, light resinous sweetness, after 20 minutes in the glass a light vanilla aroma emerges. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, light black pepper, more earthy than on the nose, good sweet sour and citrus balance. Finish is medium to long, light sweet cooked agave, light green vegetal note, light resinous sweetness with light fruity aromas persist.

Great repo. Wonderful aroma, and while it is definitely “bourbon-y”, I felt the agave was still the star. Peppery finish. Dynamite all-around bottle. Picked mine up at Old Town Tequila in San Diego for $89.
