I am starting to wonder if Total Wine is financially behind this brand. At my Total Wine in Austin TX on Brodie Lane they have a HUGE poster of Pantalones. Also, the bottles and artwork look like other Total Wine brands. Something is fishy here.

[@tagle2818]

​@@Seriously140yes like el padrino. Something is odd about that brand.

[@dave1986R]

I was at Total Wine recently and they were giving out samples of Pantalones. I was disappointed because the flavor was much too rich and it had a weird texture to the way it coats the mouth. A few weeks later I asked a store employee for a recommendation between El Tesoro Reposado and Siete Leguas Añejo, because I wanted to buy one and then the other at a later time. But he immediately said “don’t buy those, buy Pantalones instead, it’s the best and hottest one on the market now”. I immediately saw a red flag because he was clearly trying to push that product. After that I left and bought a bottle of Tequila Ocho Reposado at a different store, and I loved it.

[@violentneon2999]

You chose wisely. Next time your out to get some, definitely go for El Tesoro Repo, my 2nd favorite Tequila.

[@pireina1]

What I don’t understand is how a distillery that makes an awesome tequila, also makes a bad one ? Or they add the bad stuff after they buy it? Isn’t that not good advertising for the distillery?

[@Lui_Fern]

It's not the distiller's choice often. It's the brand owners. That's exactly what I wanted to highlight by comparing them. Sometimes the brand comes in and says " I want it to taste like this " and then throws the best work of the distillery out the window.

Sorry to break this to you Lui, but Cazcanes just came in last place on a five reposado blind tasting by Curiosity Public trio. Tapatio was first place, followed by Seite Leguas, El Tequileno and Don Fulano then Cazcanes reposado. The high end tequila like Atanasio and Cazcanes are more hype then substance. Me, I’m a big fan of Mala Vida, El Tequileno, 123 Organic Tequila and Seite Leguas. Looking forward to trying Tau Tequila and Cobalto tequila in the near future.

[@ositofreitas]

Cobalto is underrated. The Blanco is top tier imho

[@PanchoKnivesForever]

Sorry to break it to you, but I’ve blind tasted Cazcanes’s Blancos and their barrel rested expressions with those very same brands and many others, and Cazcanes scored top in many of my blind tastings. Especially their higher proof No.9 line 😙🤌🏽🤤 I love Public Curiosity, too, I learn so much about the Tequila spirit through them, but as fellow Tequila KZbinrs like Tequila Hombre & Lou Agave have put it, blind taste them yourself to see which are your favorites. Don’t just take their words for it. Tres Agaves also tastes great for their price. It’s even ranked higher for me than Lalo in blind tastes. Anyway, maybe you blind tasted Cazcanes against those same brands, too, and you feel the same way as Public Curiosity, which is all fine, but I’ve learned it’s best to come from personal tasting experience whenever you get the chance.

[@PanchoKnivesForever]

I’ll admit, though, Cszcanes’s No.7 line is okay. Their No.9 line and their No.10 really punch through even when I blind tasted them again other similar proof tequilas.

[@violentneon2999]

@@PanchoKnivesForever Yea when they did a Blind tasting Repos and Arette Repo came in first I question their palates a bit. Same with the one OP mentioned and Tapatio gets first?? Yea... I mean those are tasty tequilas but...not very complex. In the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference.

[@PanchoKnivesForever]

I totally get it. The finish of Arette Repo is what got them, though. I tasted Arette Repo again for that reason, and now I do agree with Public Curiosity on it. However, the actually initial palate taste is just okay. I wouldn’t rate that top. But the finish is something special. I honestly have appreciated that in my earlier tequila tasting days, though.

I like Santo Fino, and it's still a reasonably priced option, so I don't mind Sammy Hagar getting a cut of my purchase, but that's pretty much the exception to the rule.

[@EGlideKid]

Not surprising. His Wild Turkey expression bombed. I couldn't understand Wild Turkey partnering with him to make the worst of their lineup. He must have paid them a fortune. And calling this 'Pants"???? What's up with that? High pressure autoclave for cooking the agave, and a roller mill for grinding the crap out of it.Both are high volume, low quality processes. My guess is the agave is only a few years old at best, as well. No thanks.

[@audioa41]

Dang that sucks cus I love McConaughey and I feel like he would have put out a good product.

He did. You can't just believe everything someone puts on the internet. Try it for yourself. Make sure you try the Anejo, the best one and double gold medal winner.

[@boostedlex]

They see THE ROCK selling 2 million bottles of his swill and they want a piece of the action..

[@dtruitt3739]

I'm a rep for Pantalones. It is 100% additive free, so this video is misleading. The sweetness you are tasting is from the 100% organic high quality blue agave. You didn't even sample the best one, the Anejo, which is a double gold medal winner. It's rested in American oak whiskey barrels for 15 months. The viscosity is silky. You get the oils and flavor of the oak. Many bourbon lovers have told me that they enjoy the Anejo because of this. I'm usually a Reposado guy, but in this line the Anejo is the winner. You may not appreciate the flavor, but I have no problem selling it once the customer tastes it Especially at it's price point of $50 for a quality Anejo.
