The first night, petrichor, citrus, and pepperiness dominated both the nose and palate. By the second night, those notes had softened, allowing the cooked agave to come forward with more clarity. By the third night, the aroma had settled into a softer profile of agave, nonabrasive ethyl, and tamed petrichor. On the palate, cooked agave leads with anise, black pepper, soft lemon citrus, and faint grassiness. Salinity adds structure, while subtle ripe fruit and soft white florals appear in the background without fully defining themselves. The finish is relatively unremarkable. Overall, DV-B delivers quality, particularly by the third and fourth nights, but it doesn’t quite excite my palate.

rated blind. Rated 3 of 4 to my palate.

Aroma: 23/25 Vanilla, sweet earth, slightly burned orange peel Palate: 28/30 Sweet vanilla, spicy black pepper. High cut grass. Caramelized agave, juicy. Doesn’t dry out my mouth which a lot of repos have been recently. Finish: 24/25 Lengthy and punchy Value: 6/10 $105 in San Francisco. High quality product at a high price tag

Wow! This is an incredible reposado. Small taste and need to revisit soon. And get a bottle for my bar.

Lote 01 Ano 2024. Outstanding blanco! Tons of agave and earthy cinnamon on the nose. In your face agave taste with citrus and pepper. Long finish leaving a nice flavor behind. Has everything I want in a blanco. My favorite from El Pandillo so far!

Aroma: 22/25 A medium density nose that opens on peanut butter, rich and unmistakably nutty. Barrel char and black pepper follow just behind, sitting over a sweet, vegetal agave base. Palate: 27/30 Slightly cooling at the start. Sweet pepper up front that builds into genuine spice through the mid, maybe jalapeño. Finish: 21/25 Warming on the finish, gentle and easy rather than aggressive. Value: 7/10 $65 a bottle. Good and sweet, though not especially complex. I like it regardless, and I’m a big fan of 1579 in general. This is their sweet and approachable expression, a great pour that doesn’t demand your attention.

cooked agave is front and center with vanilla cinnamon butterscotch notes rounding out the sweetness on the nose and a tropical fruit and black pepper presence rounds out the aromas. The taste is similar with Black pepper adding a nice warmth to this high proof repo.
