Tequila G4 High Proof Blanco 108 Proof

G4

G4 High Proof Blanco is a masterclass in textural direction — the elevated proof acts as a compass, guiding flavors through a dense, layered landscape of agave, mineral, and spice. Felipe Camarena's traditional brick-oven and tahona-influenced process yields a blanco that punches well above its price, offering a viscous, full-bodied experience that rewards contemplation as much as cocktail use.
