G4 Tequila Reposado, Jalisco, Mexico

Refined and expressive, the G4 Tequila Reposado is a masterful reflection of both tradition and innovation. Produced by the esteemed Camarena family at Rancho El Pandillo, this reposado is aged for at least six months in used George Dickel Tennessee whiskey barrels, often blended with spirit aged in new French oak for added complexity. The result is a tequila that captures the heart of Los Altos de Jalisco, where agave, innovation, and heritage come together in every bottle.

Expert’s Notes:

Bryant Bowlby, Wine Dispensary Beverage Expert, highlights the rarity behind this elegant spirit: “What makes G4 Reposado so special is how traditional and time-consuming the production is; nothing is rushed, and the batches are tiny. That scarcity, combined with its insane quality, makes this bottle a hidden gem. The people who know, know. And they buy it fast.” At its modest price, he calls it “one of the best values in the tequila world.”
