NOM 1584 | On the nose, fruity and sweet. Oak, spice, some caramel And vanilla. Agave is definitely very faint. On the palate, very fruity and sweet. Something like maple, very faint agave. That funk I got from the blanco is there but more well rounded here. It’s not as offensive with the aging. Definitely some oak and vanilla, a bit of butterscotch and cinnamon. Very oily and a nice finish. Some honey notes in there as I come back to it. Overall, this isn’t bad. Better than the new 1584 blanco by a long shot imo, but definitely not something I’d keep around. Pleasantly surprised but I won’t be purchasing this again.

Agave barrel and grapefruit citrus. The citrus is less on the pallet and heavier on the agave, barrel and pepper. No harsh finish, easy to drink.

On the nose, FUNK. The agave is hiding behind that funk that I normally associate with cheaper products. If you told me this was an 1137 house blend, I would believe you. There’s agave there, hidden behind that overwhelming funk. A touch of vanilla. Cinnamon, butter, some floral notes. On the palate, that funk is ever present. The agave is very muted for me, it’s lost in that funky/swampiness. As it opens up, it’s there. Definitely some baking spices, cinnamon predominately. A little saline, something like cocoa. All in all, this isn’t a bad sipper by any means but don’t expect the old Pasote. It’s just not there, totally different beast. I personally will not be pursuing another bottle of this. But really, this is a shadow of its former self, a prime example of changing distilleries and coming out worse.
