Product Information

Based on my experience, spirits have an indefinite shelf life if stored at room temperature and away from sunlight. Frankenstein! Frankenstein! Frankenstein! That is the name of the mechanical tahona Felipe Camarena uses to crush his agave. So unique in its process, the flavors I derive from this expression are on par.

This limited Chicago release has me screaming dulce de leche! That and marzipan notes on the finish. Yet it holds on (heavily) to agave on the forefront,” Bailon says. “Being cask strength allows for these flavors to come out on a bigger platform. Where the Gran Dovejo Añejo retains a lot of these nuances as well, the cask strength just fires off at first sip.” Today, Quiñones is still in the spirits industry, but she’s made the leap to become her own boss: She’s now the CEO and founder of her own boutique consulting firm, which specializes in global route-to-market strategies—focusing on agave-based beverages, cannabis, and the multi-cultural luxury world at large, where she works only on projects and clients she truly believes in. Made by Felipe Camarena, G4 is a testament to the mad scientist approach he takes in producing his tequilas. From modifying steamrollers to crush his agave, through to collecting and using rainwater in this tequila, he doesn’t take any shortcuts. The result is an expressive, floral nose and an oily, viscous palate with incredible minerality, cream, agave and spicy white pepper. Alc 40% This is the perfect dessert-style reposado, to sip neat or with a large cube of ice,” says Quiñonez. “It has a velvety feel with notes of chocolate vanilla, cinnamon, and butterscotch with complex spices such as chile de arbol and clove. Expressive from nose to finish. The pretty bottles make for interesting conversation as well.”It’s worth noting that the issue of additives extends beyond Tequila, as some Scotch whisky distillers use caramel coloring for aesthetic purposes.

G4 Blanco, like most agave spirits, is a low-sugar choice, making it ideal for those following a strict diet. G4’s tequilas showcase a splendid variety of taste notes. The Blanco, for instance, is appreciated for its pure and straightforward agave flavour, providing sippers with a clean and crisp experience. Moving up the age statement, the Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo each bring forward a more complex, layered palate, with the ageing process introducing notes of oak, vanilla, and caramel, all the while maintaining the foundational agave presence. The Orandendain Family have been a well-respected family of producers for a long time,” Bailon says. “For me, my first experience with Arette was in a Tommy’s-style margarita. But my first love of the brand came from waking up across the street from the distillery in the town of Tequila. Wafts of fresh cooked agave pouring through my window makes me instantaneously thirsty at the thought. Bright citrus notes and little lingering hint of celery leaf balances this lovely expression.” This blanco is a spiritual experience in a bottle. I get a sniff of Palo Santo on the nose which immediately transports me to the next level. Medium body and texture are thoroughly fulfilling with a clean and balanced finish.”Master distiller Felipe Camarena has created such a refined, elegantly crafted, rich sipping style añejo,” says Quiñonez. “It’s incredibly expressive on the nose with hints of cooked pear, apple, vanilla, cinnamon, and clove spice. It’s a stunning representation of flavor, complexity, and harmony—with elegant hints of oak, honey cooked fruit, and spice on the palate. Certainly one of my favorite añejos on the market.” Don Julio is named after the brand’s founder, Don Julio Gonzalez, who started making Tequila in 1942 when he was 17 years old. The flavour profile of Don Julio Blanco is hailed as a classic, balancing creamy and peppery characters with a vegetal note, some lemon, pastry and a clear minerality. Alc 40%
