Pasote
Pasote Reposado Tequila
The original Pasote bottling won't be available for much longer and it's quickly becoming sought after by Agave collectors. This Tequila will delicately dance along your palate as subtle citrus, minerality and earthiness from it's primary Blanco form lead into the warmth and subtle spice of 8 months spent resting in American oak barrels.
Tequila Pasote has quickly gained its reputation in Australia as a delicious Tequila. It's 100% Agave, Artesanally produced and made in small batches by the reputable Felipe Camarena. Felipe, often referred to as "the mad scientist" combines his family heritage of 4 generations of Tequila production with his engineering background and passion for the environment to create a sustainable and efficient distillery in the highlands of Jalisco.
One of the main resources when distilling Tequila is water which puts an incredible strain on the environment; On average, it takes 10 litres of water to produce 1 litre of Tequila. Felipe's distillery has been built to capture the naturally running rain water to utilize in his production. Tequila Pasote is comprised of 40% rainwater and 60% spring water which gives this Tequila and incredible nose and palate; the fresh rain water offering a minerality and earthiness you won't find in most Tequilas.
The Camarena family are also behind Tequila Ocho, a renowned brand amongst Tequila drinkers and enthusiasts. Tequila Pasote and Tequila Ocho are both single estate grown and produced Tequilas. Felipe grows and harvests his agaves locally from his own fields within Jesus Maria where his distillery lies. The true essence of terroir is delivered through this single estate experience which is accentuated through artesanal production methods and the craft of Felipe Camarena's production style.
"Aztecs were among the most loyal, ferocious fighters in history. Victories and sacrifices were celebrated by drinking the sacred agave plant. This pasote spirit lives on in our matchless Jalisco Highlands tequila. Distilled with pure rainwater, natural spring water and agave grown personally by our master tequilero, this liquid art is distinctively herbal and incredibly pure. From the guerreros who guard each bottle to the exacting effort put into its content, we are certain you will revel in our tribute to warriors everywhere."

FAQ
Questions and Answers
-
What does Agaveria means?
Agaveria is the place where to buy spirits made from Agave, such as
Tequila, Mezcal, Raicilla, Sotol and many more. It comes from the two
Spanish words Agave and Eria – from the Latin word that means store. -
What is the difference between Tequila, Mezcal, Sotol and Raicilla?
First, those spirits come from Mexico, and all have Appellation of Origin, better known as Denomination of Origin, meaning that nowhere else in the world can make these spirits and call them such.
The main difference between each one is the specie of Agave used (except for Sotol since it’s not made out of an Agave, but from a plant called Dasylirion or better known as Sotol) own plant and is not an agave) and the place/region/state that is made. There are differences in their process, and each spirit has a unique and distinctive
flavour and character. -
How do I store my spirit?
We recommend you do two things first, store them in a place away from sunlight and significant temperature changes, and second, seal your bottles with clingwrap or parafilm to preserve the alcohol.
