40% ABV

G4 is the flagship brand of Destileria El Pandillo. The Añejo is made from 100% Blue Agave from Los Altos in Jalisco. The agaves are roasted in brick ovens and crushed with Felipe's custom tahona. It is fermented in open top stainless steel tanks without bagasso (agave fibers) and utilizing spring water and captured rain water. It is double distilled in copper pots. It is then aged in well used ex-Bourbon barrels for a minimum of 18 months. Like all of his tequilas, cooked agave is the dominant aroma and flavor. Toasty oak and vanilla with some black pepper to compliment it. 

About Destileria El Pandillo-NOM 1579
El Pandillo is the domain of Master Distiller Felipe Camarena. Felipe is a 3rd generation distiller and a 5th 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.
