Produced by Felipe Jorge Camarena, Pasote Reposado is barrel aged for 8 months. Modestly priced and moderately available in the United States, the iconic bottle shape and design are easily spotted.
If you like a more spice forward reposado, rather than a big toffee/vanilla/caramel bomb like some others that are more whiskey forward, Pasote Repo is for you.
This reposado doesn’t reinvent tequila, but the balance between these two components is phenomenal, deftly threading the needle between sweet and savory spice with amazing aplomb.

House Review
Nose:
Funky and fruity on the nose - cinnamon, oak, nutmeg, and ginger are immediately apparent, while some cream sweetness, lemon, orange extract become apparent.
Taste:
Sweet on the palate, plenty of cream and agave sweetness. Pepper is immediately prominent, a nice influence from the barrel. Faint cocoa, rich clove, a bit of papaya and toffee. Sort of a fun rock candy note while more pepper rests on the back palate.
Finish:
Long, spicy finish. Oddly cinnamon forward for just 8 months maturing, but it does the agave sweetness well.
Overall:
If you like a more spice forward reposado, rather than a big toffee/vanilla/caramel bomb like some others that are more whiskey forward, Pasote Repo is for you.
