G4 Extra Anejo Reserva Especial 7 Year Old Tequila
G4 Extra Anejo Reserva Especial 7 Year Old Tequila is G4's ultra-limited 2024 showcase — a 7-year-old extra añejo bottled at barrel strength, 84 proof (42% ABV), in a 750mL bottle. The tequila spent 6 years in Felipe Camarena's old George Dickel Tennessee whiskey barrels, then a final year in single-use French oak wine barrels — a double-barrel aging almost unheard of in tequila. Only 2,000 individually numbered bottles were released for the U.S. (plus 650 for the rest of the world), each in a handmade Rosa Morada wooden box. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Seven Years, Two Barrels, One Master
G4 is the fourth-generation Camarena family brand — "G4" for the fourth generation — distilled by Felipe Camarena at El Pandillo in the Los Altos de Jalisco highlands, from the same lineage that founded Tapatio. The Reserva Especial series is the house's annual ultra-limited showcase: the 2023 release was a 6-year at 86 proof in Parotta-wood boxes; the 2024 7-year adds the French-oak wine-barrel finish and the Rosa Morada box. The production is uncompromisingly traditional: estate Blue Weber agave, brick-oven cooking, tahona extraction, open-air fermentation in stainless steel, and double distillation in copper pot stills with natural spring and rain water — additive-free.

Tasting Notes
Floral with leather, agave, and caramelized toffee on the nose. The palate brings elderberry, tart cherries, tangerine, caramelization, and brown butter — the French-oak year drives red-fruit influence — over roasted agave, dark chocolate, caramel, and oak. A very long finish of caramelization and brown butter.
How to Enjoy
This is a sipping tequila by design — pour it neat in a copita or white-wine glass and give it time; seven years of barrel time rewards patience. Water is unnecessary at 84 proof.
