Caramel, sweet agave, a hint of smoke, and mild baking spice on the nose. The palate shows the El Pandillo character — agave-forward with barrel-imparted vanilla and soft pepper. Well-integrated and clean at 40% ABV. Pasote Reposado uses the same highland production at El Pandillo (NOM 1584) as the blanco — brick ovens, roller mill and tahona extraction, open-air fermentation — then rests in American oak bourbon barrels. Part of the collaboration between Felipe Camarena and William Grant & Sons. Additive-free.
