A one of a kind, Special Release, of G4 Tequila.
Several years ago some young people approached Felipe and
asked the “Mad Scientist” to help them with an experiment and
he could not resist. This batch is a complete departure from the
familar processes at El Pandillo, other than oven cooking and the
use of the Felipestein tahona. This very small batch was
fermented in barrels, using champagne yeast and with no added
heat. Only rainwater was used for all aspects. And the tequila
was distilled outdoors using Felipe’s little ‘Mezcal Still’ over direct
fire from propane gas. A very slow and careful process.
This unique tequila was then aged for 30 months, also uniquely,
in 2 used White Wine Barrels and 4 used Cognac Barrels, thusly
we’re calling this the 6 Barrels Edition, and as you can clearly see
and taste everything about this Release is unique and delicious!
Tasting Notes: Floral and sweet nose with plenty of agave. The notes of
the cognac are present in the flavor. Rainwater mouth feel
is remarkable. Finish is both clean and exceptionally long.
“I happened to be at El Pandillo the day that this was distilled. I had
heard of Felipe’s little test still, but had never seen it. Tinkering is normal
for El Inge, but this batch is something unique altogether. And it’s really
really good!”
