Very light in color like other Pandillo XAs. Cooked agave is front and center in the aroma with minimal to no oak notes. The aroma complexity is filled out with citrus (lime?), light honey and a stony minerality. The flavor shows through as tequila first and foremost not a big barrel bomb. Great combination of cooked agave, warm baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) and black pepper spice. Also, an earthy minerality underlies all the other flavors. Long, warm finish. This is another great tequila out of 1579. 12-24-2019 7th Annual Xmas XA tasting
First time tasting this EA I was a bit disappointed. I went back and tasted again had a different opinion. The light flavor of oak was different from most EAs. Agave was up front with a nice peppery finish. The product has no legs at all, almost thin to the eye. The flavor certainly makes up for that. The finish is pleasant, it has a nice long lasting flavor on the pallet. I will enjoy this one all winter long.
Strong vegetal aroma upfront with distinct agave clearly forward. Secondary/background floral and salty brine aromas follow. Very smooth with green vegetable flavors at the open with cinnamon, black pepper and fruit (Apple/pear) supporting. Warm, spicy finish lingers for a moderate length. This is a pretty traditional blanco with some of the typical “roughness” polished off. 12-04-2019
A very nice light XA with some vanilla, caramel, agave, light butterscotch, mint, light oak some burnt nuts, and fruit.
Okay 1579 fans. Felipe and El Pandillo have created another exquisite juice in the name of Volans. I have already rated the XA, which is amazing, but now we tackle the blanco. Typical highlands tequila with green apple, pear, raw asparagus and unripe banana. Seems the brix is perfect around 35 ish, making for a great juice. There is a little smoke to this which differentiates this from Terralta, Pasote or G4, slightly.
