Destilería El Pandillo G4 Premium Anejo Tequila (NV) 750 ML

Vanilla and agave notes are present in both the aroma and taste. It shows slight pepper, soft floral tones as well as smoky highlights.El Pandillo, in the town of Jesus Maria, Jalisco, is one of Mexico’s truly great distilleries. Under the leadership of Felipe Camarena, the distillery has retained the traditional quality of their heritage by looking forward in terms of technology, rather than simply relying on the old methods. Too often, new methods simply mean more efficiency and a dip in quality, but Felipe’s goal is to use these tools and methods to create a more authentic expression of agave, not less. His custom built stone ovens capture the complex flavor of highland Blue Weber aged 8-10 years and selected for peak maturity. The agave is then crushed on his mechanical tahona, nicknamed “Frankenstein,” fermented with natural proprietary yeasts originally propagated by Felipe’s grandfather 80 years ago and the distilled in small copper pot stills. El Pandillo is also the home of other beloved Tequila brands such as Pasote, Volans, and Terralta. This is thick and creamy and kissed with honey. The 5 years in the barrel has in no way obscured the rich agave that was clearly meant to be showcased. Bottled at 45% abv.
