Nose: Olive brine and wet stone lead the way, textbook minerality that immediately points to El Pandillo. Sweet cooked agave, black pepper, and cinnamon follow, with some floral lift. It’s lively, layered, and distinct. Palate & Mouthfeel: Excellent mouthfeel that is full and coating without being heavy. The agave is sweet and clean, backed by pepper and a warming cinnamon note. That signature minerality stays present throughout, and there’s a creamy tropical note, like ripe mango - that softens the edges. Finish: Lingering agave and spice, clean and persistent with a gentle mineral fade. No rough edges. Final Thoughts: One whiff and you know exactly where it’s from - that 1579 minerality is impossible to miss. This drinks a little more refined than G4’s usual blanco profile. It’s silkier, more mouth coating, and just feels a bit more dialed in. A standout sip that manages to be both expressive and elegant.

On the nose: Minerality, citrus, cooked agave, light funk or cheese, watermelon, floral, anise On the tongue: Cooked agave bomb, minerality, citrus, earthiness, white sugar This bottle is 1579. It is el pandillo fully expressed. Delicious, balanced, everything you want from a blanco

Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest El Pandillo certainly has a trademark style. Cooked agave being the driving note along with the patented minerality El Pandillo is known for.

Nose: Strong pure and clean nose. The herbal elements shine clear at first. Caramelized agave then breaks through the herbs. A nice buttery feel. Floral with a nice lavender and rose presence. Reminds me a lot of the artenom anejo. Palate: Medium body and mouth feel. Slight numbing of my tongue. Crisp clean agave with subtle white pepper coming through. Herbal sweetness shows up in the mid palate. Heavier pepper and spice linger in the back. Finish: Lengthy finish with lots of pepper. Mild alcohol burn. Make sure to let this pour breath to get the most out of it

Nose: agave / earth/ mineral/ alcohol / pepper/ hint of lime / lemongrass / hay Taste: sweet agave cooked / vanilla / pepper/ earth / pineapple/ grapefruit/ licorice/ spearmint/ orange peel / Finish: very low viscosity mouthfeel that’s clean and crisp but still has a rainwater taste along with the sweet agave and pepper notes associated with other NOM 1579 expressions. The lingering sweet and pepper notes hold on for a short time when a nice minty finish occurs. This blanco has a very nice subtle and smooth taste profile. Nothing specifically bold except the pepper notes and the contrasting agave and bittersweet licorice against that pepper; all the other flavors and aromas are subtle. I prefer tequilas that are more bold, but this is a nice easy sipper that would work as a mixer where you wanted the tequila flavors to not overpower the drink.

Earthy nose with cooked agave. Lots of minerals on the nose with vegetal notes. Slight olive smell. On the tongue, the flavors are lightly muted get agave and vegetal with earthiness and minerals like on the nose. The mouthfeel is very nice and it finishes well but not bold enough. This is my first crack and we will see where it goes from here. This does get better after a few pours. Flavors are more bold. More floral and more 1599 character. Bumped this a couple points 9/27/24

Aroma of cooked agave, minerals, grass and a touch of mint. Nice flavor of cooked agave, black pepper spiciness, citrus, minerals and herbal. The finish tingle was long and pleasant. I would still go with G4 blanco's lower price.
