Tradition From Field to Bottle: The Pacheco 1988 Story
Tequila Pacheco is made, in the brand's words, "with expertise, tradition and passion, from the field to the bottle." The añejo expression rests a full two years or more in American oak — double the legal añejo minimum — picking up medium oak wood, vanilla, and raisin depth while the cooked-agave heart stays present. It is a classic añejo tequila profile at an honest proof.
Tasting Notes
Medium oak wood, vanilla, raisins, and faint citrus on the nose. The palate is mild and rounded — caramel, vanilla, and warm spice with a slight burn at the very end — leading to a long, lasting finish. Approachable yet structured, a tequila that pleases both neat sippers and cocktail builders.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with one cube; it also anchors a premium Añejo Old Fashioned. Compare expressions on the Pacheco vendor page.
