Crafted by legendary master distiller Felipe Camarena, G4 Tequila "Throwback Blanco" is a tribute to tradition—reviving the bold, full-strength flavor of old-school tequila. Bottled at 44% ABV (rather than the standard 40%), this high-proof blanco delivers a richer, more expressive profile that showcases the heart of its 100% Blue Weber agave. Made at the renowned El Pandillo distillery in Jesús María, Jalisco, this release is unaged, additive-free, and intensely terroir-driven.
