G4 Reposado de Madera Dia de Muertos Edition

40% ABV

A special, limited edition release honoring Dia de Los Muertos with 5,000 hand-numbered bottles of uniquely made tequila presented in specially made coffin boxes with three unique combinations of badges on their tops.

G4 is crafted using enhanced traditional methods, and Felipe knows that the fermentation process is where the magic happens, de Madera is fully fermented in new Pine Wood tanks vs. steel. This imparts a great deal of unique flavors into the tequila. Add to the wood-fermentation the use of well water in this expression and seven months of aging in G4's nearly ancient George Dickel American whiskey barrels. The layers of complexity in this G4 are entirely unique and highly complex.

About Destileria El Pandillo-NOM 1579
El Pandillo is the domain of Master Distiller Felipe Camarena. Felipe is a 3rd generation distiller and a 6th generation agavero (agave farmer). His family founded and owns the La Alteña Distillery (Tequila Tapatio, El Tesoro de Don Felipe and others) and his brother Carlos owns Los Alambiques (Tequila Ocho).

Felipe is a mechanical engineer by trade and he has designed and built numerous unique pieces of equipment that he uses in the production process. Perhaps the most famous one is "Felipenstein", his 19,000 pound custom tahona that he uses to extract the juices from his roasted highland agave. It's also one of the most sustainable facilities in Jalisco with a rainwater capture system, biodiversity in his agave fields, and stillage treatment program. He is a force of nature and a true master of his craft. He's also one hell of a good hang.
