The mountain town of Jesús-María (elev. 6,788’) is tequila’s highest altitude agave region, and the El Pandillo Distillery is arguably one of the most forward-thinking and sustainable distilleries in the business. There, Felipe Camarena masterfully crafts this bright, aromatic tequila from stressed hillside agave plants, slowly roasted in brick ovens and macerated intact with fiber for a pronounced agave flavor. Color : pure and clear with rich agave viscosity. Nose : rising pastry dough, spring rain, mint, bold roasted agave. Palate : velvety, wine-like texture with fresh chile tingle, white pepper, spearmint candies.
