G4 Reposado 750 ml

Fourth-generation distiller Felipe Camarena makes G4 Reposado at Destilería El Pandillo in the highland town of Jesús María, and it drinks like a blanco lover's reposado tequila. Six months in used bourbon barrels adds vanilla and soft oak without burying the cooked agave the house is famous for. The production choices do the talking — stone-oven-roasted Blue Weber agave, a homemade tahona nicknamed Felipestein, and a 50/50 blend of harvested rainwater and natural spring water for dilution. In the glass that means agave and black pepper up front, then vanilla, gentle oak, and a long, clean, spiced finish. Reach for it when you want a margarita with real agave character, or sip it neat beside anything off the grill.

How to drink G4 Reposado

It holds up well in a tequila Old Fashioned, since the six months of oak give it enough backbone to stand next to bitters and agave syrup. For a simpler pour, a splash of soda water lets the black pepper and vanilla stay in balance without watering it down too fast.
