We also got you covered in the Margarita Depo! Pasote Tequila is a new brand made by Felipe Camarena in his distillery, El Pandillo, which is located in the Los Altos region of Jalisco. (We visited this distillery last year.) Anything that comes out of this cool distillery and made by Felipe (a mad-scientist master distiller!), is pretty much guaranteed to create some excitement. Pasote does not disappoint. One of the innovative features that Felipe built into his distillery was the ability to capture rainwater, so it can be used for distillation. Pasote is made with 40% rainwater, and 60% spring water. Although agave tends to get a lot of the credit for the aromas and flavors found in tequila, water is just as important. The quality of the water has a lot to do with the aromas and flavors found in the final product. Pasote Tequila paired w/agave & lime salt...that's how you spend your weekend in your backyard! |
