The Pour
About this bottle
Pasote Blanco is a highland tequila made the old way and the hard way, because that is the only way Felipe Camarena knows. Crafted at El Pandillo in Jesus Maria, Jalisco, using rainwater, stone tahonas, and slow copper distillation, every drop is unhurried and honest. The blanco is bright, mineral, and unapologetically agave-forward, with the kind of clean finish that invites another round. It is the bottle you open when good people show up. Pasote means "badass" and one sip tells you why. No shortcuts, no additives, no apologies. Just highland agave, done right.

Tasting Notes
What to expect
Nose
Fresh cooked agave, citrus peel, white pepper, and a whisper of wet stone.
Palate
Clean and mineral-driven. Roasted agave up front, green herbs, lime zest, and a gentle sweetness balanced by crisp black pepper.
Finish
Bright and lingering, with peppery spice and a soft herbal echo that calls you back for the next sip.
Serve
Neat in a copita, over one big rock, or in a margarita that deserves the upgrade.
The Maker
El Pandillo Distillery
Felipe Camarena is a third-generation tequilero who built El Pandillo himself. He engineered his own mills (named Frankenstein and Igor), captures rainwater for every batch, composts agave fibres back into the fields, and roasts pinas slow in traditional masonry ovens. No diffusers, no additives, no shortcuts. El Pandillo is one of the most admired small distilleries in the highlands, and Pasote is Felipe's love letter to the craft.
