Description
Pasote Tequila comes from the Mexican state of Jalisco and is produced in Jesus Maria by the master distiller Felipe J. Camarena.
The name “Pasote” stands for the courageous spirit of the Aztec warriors. They usually celebrated their victories and rituals by drinking the agave juice. Thus, Pasote Tequila is also distilled from the blue webera agave.
For the production, the agave hearts are baked in traditional ovens and crushed with a mechanical tahona. 40% pure rainwater and 60% spring water are used for distillation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and then the tequila is aged for 18 months in American oak barrels.
The bottle designs of the Pasote tequilas feature drawings dedicated to the sun god. The Pasote Anejo shows the eagle warrior – the most feared fighter. The bottles are handmade by a family of glass artisans in Mexico.
