Pasote Tequila Reposado
Pasote Tequila Reposado is a 40% ABV (80 proof) reposado rested 6 months in American ex-bourbon barrels, made from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave at Destilería El Pandillo (NOM 1579) — the Jesús María highlands distillery of third-generation Master Distiller Felipe J. Camarena, in this 750mL bottle. The same additive-free playbook as the añejo — stone-horno roast, tahona crush, wild yeast, copper pot stills — with just a half year of wood to round the edges. The Tasting Panel scored it 92 points. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Six Months of Wood, Zero Shortcuts
Six months is the sweet spot for a reposado: long enough to pick up vanilla and spice from the ex-bourbon barrels, short enough that Camarena's wild-yeast, tahona-crushed agave character stays center stage. It arrives in the line's signature handblown glass with screenprinted tribal markings — a bottle as deliberate as the liquid.

Tasting Notes
Peach and licorice on the nose; the palate brings peppered pineapple and vanilla, finishing sweet and clean with a pink-grapefruit lift. Agave leads, oak frames — balanced, uncluttered, alive.
How to Enjoy
The versatile Camarena bottle: neat for sipping, but its sweet-clean profile upgrades any reposado Margarita or a tequila-forward old fashioned. Serve neat at room temperature to taste the wild-yeast character, or on one cube.
