Terralta — "high land" — is the Camarena family's 2011 highland project at El Pandillo, the same distillery behind G4. The añejo keeps the distillery's signature minerality while picking up restrained barrel character: vanilla, cinnamon and roasted spice wrapped around cooked agave, never drowning it. Among añejo tequilas, this is the pick for agave-first drinkers.
