Read More NOM 1579: El Pandillo Distillery Where a tequila is distilled has a huge impact on the quality and flavor. There are many factors that can influence the taste, including the quality of ingredients, the geographic location, the type of equipment used, the time of year it is produced and much more. The best distilleries take all factors into consideration and strive to create the best environment for tequila production. We wanted to ensure our tequila was produced in the best possible environment – in order to maximize flavor and quality. That’s why Volans is made at El Pandillo Distillery. One of the most sustainable, iconic, and innovative distilleries in Mexico. El Pandillo is run by Felipe Camarena, whose great-great grandfather was among the first to start farming blue agave in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico in the 1800s. He is the third generation and his sons are the fourth generation of distilling some of the best and authentic craft tequila in Mexico. Felipe is on a quest to protect the traditional process of making tequila that he has practiced and studied his entire life. He has also built upon these traditional practices by adding his own unique twists – such as specially modified copper stills, stone ovens, Frankenstein” the tahona, igor” the agave shredder, and he uses harvested rainwater.

This definitely qualifies as special. Of course this being a Camarena juice, it hardly needs an intro. Either way this single barrel is a must have, must hunt gem. Limited run SB is unbelievably complex for a light repo. Agave driven, dried pineapple, dried apricot, berries, strawberries, cinnamon, minerals, so earthy! Frankie Medina , Volans Single Barrel Reposado | 91 points Volans blanco me sorprendió por su complejidad con la que se presenta en aromas y primera impresión en boca Es un tequila blanco verdaderamente disfrutable para tomarse despacio Miguel Ángel Avila , Volans Blanco | 95 points Amazing sweet cooked agave, so full of natural sugar, minerals, floral notes, anise and butter. Some smoke appears on taste, along with the butter, minerals and anise and a pinch of citrus….. just absolutely amazing. Lou Agave (Long Island Lou Tequila) , Volans Blanco | 93 points Love the barrel notes here- pitted fruit, a hint of raisin, mellow cinnamon and vanilla. Not overly done for an XA. Flavor is tasty sweet agave with a slight mineral finish, characteristic of El Pandillo. A great new edition for tequila lovers. Scarlet Sanschagrin , Volans 3 year Extra Añejo | 92 points Unbelievable tequila. Exquisite. Nose has pear, sweet agave, hint of cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla, and some oak Forward is so smooth. It enters and smoothly slides in. No harsh bite. It just materializes. Taste in the mouth just explodes: sweet agave, pear, nectarine, hint of vanilla. The finish is incredibly smooth. It’s there… and then it’s gone. No too much burn, but enough to remind you that it’s tequila. This is one of the best pure tequilas I’ve ever tasted. I can taste the quality, traditional process, and care that goes in to making this spirit. My new favorite Repo Andy Van Gilder , Volans Single Barrel Reposado | 92 points This is now one of my favorite blancos. As soon as you open it and pour it to the glass the smell is amazing. No alcohol that burns you like others, the agave flavor that I love and no only that to top it off great price. A master piece. Gerson Batista , Volans Blanco...
