G4 Tequila Blanco de Madera

G4 Tequila Blanco Madera is a limited-edition, unaged artisanal spirit originating from the Highland region of Los Altos in Jalisco, Mexico. The brand is produced at the highly esteemed El Pandillo distillery (NOM 1579) in Jesús María under the stewardship of the Camarena family, who possess a fourth-generation legacy of traditional tequila production. Master Distiller Felipe Camarena created this groundbreaking expression to push the boundaries of texture and complexity by reintroducing ancestral production techniques.

Spirit Description

G4 Blanco Madera is made from 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave cooked in traditional stone ovens for at least 22 hours. Instead of using a traditional volcanic stone wheel, the agave is crushed by a custom-built mechanical shredder nicknamed 'Felipestein'. The defining element of G4 Madera is its unique fermentation process, which takes place entirely in 100% pine wood tanks rather than stainless steel. Additionally, it relies heavily on natural deep well water rather than the traditional rainwater blend used in standard G4 expressions.

• Colour: Crystal clear, bright, and brilliantly clean.

• Aroma: Fruity, rich, and intensely aromatic. The bouquet explodes with sweet cooked agave, crushed black pepper, and earthiness, beautifully woven into tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, fresh cut grass, mint, and lime zest.

• Palate: Full, complex, and extraordinarily lively. The entry delivers concentrated bursts of sweet roasted agave, anise, and rich citrus fruit before transitioning into raw green pepper, wintergreen, jalapeño, and a subtle, rustic olive brine.

• Body: Heavy-bodied, silky, and thick with an incredible natural oiliness from the pine wood fermentation that fully coats the mouth.

• Finish: Exceptionally long, warming, and persistent, closing with a robust wave of cracked black pepper, deep mineral earthiness, and a lingering, clean agave sweetness.

• ABV: Bottled at a bold and punchy 45% (90 Proof).
