Verdict
An unusual BEÚ. Pasmo is another karwinskii-family variant that rarely appears single-variety in the US market, like pulquero, it's a vocabulary word the category is still building. At 51% the agave's dry, mineral character reads clearly, and BEÚ's willingness to bottle rare species at serious proof is what makes the project worth tracking. No consensus; reading at 3.5. A category-broadening pick for drinkers building karwinskii vocabulary.
