G4 Reposado is a reposado tequila from the G4 (Fourth Generation Camarena) line that balances strong agave character with gentle wood influence. Aged about six months in used bourbon/Tennessee whiskey barrels, it offers cooked agave, oak, vanilla & spice — approachable yet nuanced. Good neat, on the rocks, or in tequila-forward cocktails.

What Makes It Special
-
Heritage & Craft: Family-run, fourth generation distilling; use of traditional methods (tahona crushing, stone ovens) gives authenticity and agave richness.
-
Balanced Wood Influence: The reposado is rested long enough to pick up oak, vanilla, and barrel character, but not so long that it overwhelms the agave core. The used bourbon / Tennessee whiskey barrels add distinct notes without losing the tequila’s identity.
-
Terroir & Water: Use of rain & spring water, plus the Los Altos region agave, gives freshness, minerality, and floral / herbal layering.
-
Great value for a reposado with good barrel influence but still strong agave presence.
-
Versatile: good enough to sip neat, but can also be used in premium cocktails or elevated margaritas/tequila-sours.
-
Smooth & approachable: the wood softens the spirit, so even those newer to aged tequila can enjoy this without overpowering bite.
Suggested Serving & Pairings
-
Neat or with a large ice cube to let it open up.
-
Cocktail ideas: Reposado Margarita, Tequila Old Fashioned, or a Paloma with grapefruit to echo citrus notes.
-
Food pairings: Grilled meats (pork, chicken), caramelized onion or peach BBQ, spicy or smoky Mexican dishes, sharp cheeses, or citrus desserts.
