Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Explosive and "green." Intense aromas of cooked agave, damp earth, and wet stones, followed by a floral citrus note and a hint of vanilla bean from the wood vats.
- Palate: Rich, buttery, and bold. It features a heavy "mouth-feel" with layers of sweet agave, cracked black pepper, and olives, balanced by subtle nutty and herbal tones.
- Finish: Long, clean, and remarkably smooth for 90 proof, with a lingering cinnamon and mineral heat.
Food Pairings & Serving
- Savory Pairing: Pairs perfectly with Grilled Octopus or Tacos al Pastor. The minerality and pepper notes complement charred seafood and spicy, pineapple-marinated pork.
- Cheese Pairing: Complements Aged Manchego or Cotija. The saltiness of the cheese highlights the sweet agave core of the tequila.
- The "Connoisseur" Serve: This is widely considered one of the best sipping tequilas in the world. Enjoy it neat in a Riedel tequila glass or a small wine glass at room temperature to allow the complex aromas to open up.
- Comparison: If you enjoy Fortaleza Still Strength or Cascahuín Tahona, this will likely be your new favorite bottle.
About the brand
G4 (representing four generations of the Camarena family) is produced at the legendary El Pandillo Distillery (NOM 1579) in Jesús María, Jalisco. Master Distiller Felipe Camarena is known as the "mad scientist" of tequila for his mechanical innovations. Blanco de Madera is a significant departure from the standard G4 Blanco; it is the first expression from El Pandillo to use 100% wood fermentation vats (pine), rather than the stainless steel tanks typically used to maintain the brand’s crisp, rain-water profile.
