G4 Blanco de Madera Tequila 90 Proof 750ml

One of the most distinctive blancos in modern tequila, G4 Blanco de Madera is a textural, flavor-driven evolution of the classic G4 profile. The use of wood fermentation adds depth, softness, and complexity rarely seen in unaged tequila. This is a connoisseur-level blanco—layered, expressive, and widely regarded as one of the most compelling additive-free releases available.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Crafted by master distiller Felipe Camarena at El Pandillo (NOM 1579) in the Highlands of Jalisco, this expression represents a deliberate departure from standard production.

The key differentiator is fermentation in wooden vats (“de madera”), rather than stainless steel. This method introduces subtle oxidative and textural complexity, giving the tequila a richer, more rounded profile.

Like all G4 releases, it is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional ovens, crushed, and distilled in copper pot stills. However, this expression uniquely uses deep well water, adding further depth and mineral nuance compared to the standard G4 lineup.

Released in limited, hand-numbered batches (annual lots), it has quickly developed a cult following among tequila enthusiasts.
