G4 Blanco Tequila 108 Proof
G4 Blanco Tequila 108 Proof is the high-proof blanco from Felipe Camarena's Destilería El Pandillo (NOM 1579) in Jesús María, Los Altos, Jalisco — bottled at a fixed 108 proof (54% ABV) in 750mL. "G4" marks four generations of the Camarena family making tequila since 1937. The production is resolutely traditional: estate-grown 100% Blue Weber agave, 22-hour cooks in stone ovens heated top and bottom, crushing by the handmade metal tahona nicknamed "Felipestein," open-air fermentation, double distillation in copper pot stills, and a 50/50 blend of collected rainwater and spring water — verified additive-free. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

High Proof, Old Methods: the Camarena Way
The 108 exists for agave intensity: at 54% ABV the blanco's cooked-agave character — black pepper, minerals, cinnamon, a flicker of pineapple or mint — arrives undiluted. But the strength never outshines the method: the top-and-bottom-heated ovens avoid the uneven cook of bottom-only heat, the handmade tahona crushes slowly, and copper pots do the rest. It's the Camarena family's fourth-generation argument for doing things the slow way. Browse blanco tequilas or shop G4 Tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Per trade reviews: big cooked agave up front, black pepper, minerals, cinnamon, a touch of alcohol warmth, and subtle pineapple or mint. Bold, dry, and unmistakably highland agave.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat in small pours to meet the full 108 — or split the difference with a few drops of water. In cocktails, it anchors a margarita that doesn't disappear.
