Four Years Underground
Most extra añejos clear the three-year bar and stop; Pasote's goes 48 months in ex-bourbon oak, and the extra year matters. The nose runs roasted agave, vanilla, light citrus and grapefruit peel; the palate layers dried fruits, cinnamon, eucalyptus, honey, caramelized pineapple, vegetal agave, warming spice and toasty oak; the finish is long and sumptuous with a bright, tingling szechuan-spice note. Additive-free and copper-pot distilled, it's an agave-first extra añejo — the oak seasons the spirit without burying it. Find more Pasote tequilas and the extra añejo tequila collection.
