Lou Agave of Long Island Lou Tequila-The Battle of the Pasote's. Original vs New Nom 1584- Who Wins? 

So glad you addressed this brand. And for once, I actually was fortunate to grab the original before the change.

Thx so much for this Lou. Ty for advising me a while ago when I found the etched bottles to "buy them up"!

I'm on my second bottle of the original Posote blanco.Love it so much.old town Tequila told me they changed distilleries.At some point ill try new one.Great review Lou !

Just bought a bottle of the new NOM. It’s certainly a sweet, easy drinker with a clean finish. However, the nose kills it for me. Unfortunately it smells much like the grain forward aromas of a Jose Ceurvo Esp and that’s the first thing that hits the senses. First bottle from TequilaMM I haven’t particularly enjoyed. This is margarita bottle for me now.

Thanks for doing this review. You are spot on in my opinion. I grab those original 1579 bottles whenever I see them. You are a rockstar amigo!

thanks Lou I've been waiting for this specifcally. Pasote was always one of my top of the tops!!

1579 blanco and repo Pasote are still on the shelves in places like missoula, Montana, as of may 26, 2023. Ironically, the anejo Pasote we have at this time, and for months now, comes from the new distillery. I hope they’re not just using up old labels or something. The tequila Ive been getting is excellent either way, so I am happy.

You and the tequila hombre are the only ones who've done the side-by-side and the both of you are my go-tos on recommendations. It's interesting how you came to different conclusions which might just be pallet differences. He thinks the rainwater experiment was a miss for Felipe muting the complexities in flavors and shortening the finish, but makes things smooth which he admits people may prefer. He claimed the new one had more complexities come through probably due to the different water content. 90% of the time your reviews are in alignment, but every once in a while you guys go in a different direction which is fascinating. Another example would be the Volans SS. Volans SS had a lot of heat which I wasn't too much a fan of first try before the flavors kicked in. However, on second sipping I was a few drinks in so my mouth was well acclimated and the heat that bothered me the first time almost completely subsided at it was delicious popping with all sorts of flavor. I'll have to give the new pesote a try as I'm very curious to continue discovering my pallet preferences

I just came across this new line of pasote and sucks to hear all the great things about the old pasote 😢 I grabbed the blanco yesterday and I’m here today watching you, thinking I’ve should’ve grabbed me the mijenta instead. Lol great video either way

I found 3 bottles of 1579 Blanco yesterday, definitely keeping at least 1 in storage.... the store in Jersey didn't know what they had.

Great video Lou! I’m surprised at the move and sorry to hear it. Thanks for buying the new line and reviewing.

I tried the new blanco the other day and I really miss the rainwater minerality. The character is not as great, but it still isn't bad.

My Pasote anejo order arrived in the mail lastweek, was hoping it would be the old stuff. It's the new NOM, it's really tasty, wasn't anything like my Tepozan Anejo, but it's not what I'm looking for in my tequila. It's so cinnamon sweet like I'm eating cinnamon toast crunch. Don't want my go to tequila's to taste like candy. Good to have on occasion and for other people to try.

First. Damn Lou your up late it's 9:38 here so it's 12 something there LOL :) Good to see you buddy. LOVE

Nice review. I have been wondering about the difference with new distillery. Question: do you think the previously opened Pandillo blanco vs just opened new stuff made a difference? As always, thanks for the review.

Great run down Lou... I would love to try and hunt for an etched bottle of Pasote. Sadly, I live in an ABC State (VA) and unless I travel out of state a good ways away will likely never get to experience the old juice. Keep these great/informative videos coming Professor.

Sounds like I might like the new one. I'm a big fan of the cinnamon cake spice thing.

I may have to go on a treasure hunt road trip to track down as much 1579 as I can find...I'm not as concerned about the bottle it comes in but I do get the appeal. Thank you!

Hey Lou. Was at a small liquor store in San Diego and found the “original” pasote. Blanco and repo maybe there was anejo. They have a few more, I can always swing back there if you want some. I find it too “earthy” myself. Had the old repo at a bar in Chicago not long ago. They accidentally served it over the blanco but I enjoyed it. Very easy to drink and I’m not a fan of repo/anejo. “You gotta wonder” lol crack me up.

What is the nom on the old pasote?

Your reaction when nosing the 1584 gave away what you thought of the new Pasote. Which makes me wonder if your muscle memory of 1579 affected or influenced your initial reaction to the 1584?

I had thought Pasote was a family Camarena creation , the first coming out of his new distillery . No ?

The 1584 anejo may have some of Pandillo's juice that was left over blended in...?

The nose on the 1584 blanco is all cheap white wine & vegetal rot for me. The cinnamon cake note you mentioned reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal from when I was a kid. It’s weird.

How long does tequila last before taste gets effected if stored in cool dark place after opened. I hear so many different things. Thanks

So Pasote gave up something great ... to look for something different ... just to end up with something worse.

Okay, what I'm upset about the most is that you were at Total Wine the day after me! To quote Maxwell Smart, "Missed it by that much."
