G4 Reposado
El Pandillo (Felipe Camarena) · Destilería El Pandillo, Jesús María, Jalisco, Mexico
G4 is what happens when a family’s fourth generation refuses to cut corners. Felipe Camarena’s dedication to stone ovens, natural fermentation, and unhurried aging produces a reposado where the agave stays front and center. The six months in bourbon barrels add warmth and spice without covering up the plant. This is a tequila for people who want to taste where it came from — the stone oven method preserves complex agave sugars that modern autoclaves simply can’t replicate.
