This one has a strong aroma of pepper, grass, and agave, which made me hesitant to try it. However, on the palate, it’s incredible! The agave takes center stage, complemented by subtle pepper, herbal, and citrus notes. The finish lingers, leaving a delightful aftertaste.

Smell the minerals and agave. For sip was spicy, but once pallet was cleansed, agave flavor was nice with a little pepper. Very smooth

This is what you would expect from a blanco. Nose: cooked agave, earth, black pepper, citrus, grass, minerals, and vegetal. Palate: cooked agave, grass, earth, vegetal, olive, black pepper, citrus, and minerals. Great mouth feel with a medium to long finish. A great sipper from a great brand. An amazing blanco.

Lot 25 from 3/10/2023 - classic G4 profile. Cooked agave, mineral/stone, floral, pepper, citrus, a little vegetal. There’s a little bit of that Madera profile in there as well with the newer recipe of batches 23+

Starts with aromas of vegetal, celery-like minerality, loaded with vibrant citrus, with some hints of black pepper and sage. The flavor blends citrus and pepper into a base of light vegetal sweetness and cooked agave. Well-balanced on the finish, leaving behind continued notes of black pepper, agave, and celery, with no bitterness at all, quite phenomenal.

G4 blanco is a great representation of a blanco. Pure clean agave, agave, agave. Citrus and minerals. It taste just like the air smells in the distilleries full of cooked agave. Delicious. Awesome Value.

Nose: agave / earth / pepper/ minerals / vegetal / faint citrus / lime / lemongrass/ hay / hint of floral/ salt / alcohol Taste: sweet cooked agave / vanilla/ cinnamon/ pepper / vegetal / earth / banana/ lime / anise / lemongrass/ spearmint/ tea / orange blossom/ light cream soda Finish: crisp clean bright lightly viscous mouthfeel / fantastic cooked agave is center stage while the pepper, earth, minerals, and alcohol all are there but they’re just the rhodies at a rock show. They’re working hard they just can’t overcome the sweetness which is playing a guitar solo. This blanco is a great entry level point for many tequila lovers. You can find it easily but the taste of this G4 blanco just keeps you coming back for more.

Just a wonderful expression out of 1579 yes, I do love the NOM. The nose is so sweet with cooked agave. We get earthiness and minerals that are probably because of the water. I get some floral notes. I find citrus and fruit. The nose is just a dream. The taste is also great with agave, earth and black pepper. I get a touch of vanilla and butter. It is also earthy like the nose with a touch of citrus. I do love this tequila. It is a great blanco that most can obtain.

Nose: Light crisp agave with undertones of grass Flavor: Clean, light, crisp agave backed by caramel, vanilla and butter Selling for $35 in San Francisco. This is a 10/10 value

I’m a bit a late on sipping G4 Blanco. I was not disappointed, in typical G4 fashion, this is an easy sipping blanco. Cooked agave, fresh cut grass on the nose. Taste was agave with earthy notes and a clean crisp finish.

Hands down my #1. I’d be content if this was the only tequila I could ever have again.

Lot12 The aroma to me is very soft tropical fruit, flowers and water. I think of green melon, strawberries, banana very light, pepper, light caramel, and vanilla. It is not a smack you in your face smell, it's very inviting. When you first taste it on the tongue and taking that first little inhale, I taste alcohol, I almost thought I was going to be greeted by the average alcohol taste, but that disappears faster than my mind recognized and then it opens up and becomes soft on the pallet as it did on the nose. I taste agave, pepper, citrus, fresh, green bell pepper, caramel, and vanilla. The dry down to me has a slight cacao taste. This blanco is superb.

Lot 12, just perfect! Bright agave nose with vegetal notes, tons of agave flavor and citrus. Great finish. Older lots are better than new ones.

Aug 12, 2023 G4 side-by-side old white label and newer blue label blancos Old white label G4 L0002B Nov 17, 2012 has a more tropical nose - banana, melon, some alcohol/heat. not a lot of pepper on nose. Palate - sweet agave New blue label G4 LEXP0014B Apr 4, 2022 nose is more grassy, vegetal, rain. Some slight malalactic notes, jalepeno, green pepper, a little alcohol. Palate pepper agave. Both are really good they're just different. The white label bottle had been opened and parafilmed for some time and we just opened the blue label tonight. will revisit blue label again in a few weeks -------------------- G4 blanco Tasted July 9 2022 NOM 1579 Lote L0002B Nov 17 2012 NOTES: this is an old bottle that's been open for awhile so nose and taste may be more subtle than if new. I didn't note finish NOSE: rain, agave, alcohol, pepper, caramel TASTE: agave, pepper, mellow flavors I rank this in the middle of the six 1579 blancos I tasted tonight (all but don vicente) it's about equal to terralta and pasote

Agave pepper and floral notes with some orange and citrus. Very enjoyable sipper.

  • 88 Rating

Very solid expression for G4 blanco, no weaknesses. it has layers of complexity. clean refreshing agave throughout, pepper and buttery. What bumps it up a few notches is price point. Under $40 only a few can match it on value.

  • 88 Rating

Smooth and easy from start to finish. Perhaps it is the rainwater that creates a softening. The agave is present with a oily mouthfeel that gives a nice lingering into the finish. Even if this was pricey (which it is not) it may be the best blanco on the market.

Don't love it but it's the staple of Blanco tequila. Very authentic flavor

  • 90 Rating

Very green agave and mineral forward in aroma. Clean and floral. Taste is of agave with light mint and herbs. Sweet but not overly so. Well balanced. Finish has slight burn but add some pepperyness.

  • 90 Rating

Great nose. Cooked agave coming through and the rain water gives it a very fresh, green, grassy aroma. Flavor is nice. Sweet, with some cooked agave, minerality, anise toward the end. I get a little fruitiness as well. Finish is not super long but good. A little bit of heat on the back end and finishes green. I wanted to like this tequila more but it’s got a sweetness (not fake) to it that I don’t love and I feel like the agave is a little lost.

  • 90 Rating

Beautiful agave aroma & flavor. Super smooth finish. Sipping along side Ocho & Montagave. A new G4 bottle 4 years and a couple hundred sippers later I took that score down 2 points to90. Just as good as before, but now I’ve had several better.

In the glass it’s perfectly clear and clean with tears that definitely linger. The expected mouthfeel is something to look forward to. On the nose it’s agave front and center. Fresh rain and minerals are also there, waiting patiently. The palate is again cooked agave dominant with minerals, black pepper, and grass complimenting nicely. Great mouthfeel as expected. It’s got a long finishing heat with a lingering vegetal component that is not unwelcome. Definitely a regular in my home collection!

An amazing sample of the perfect Blanco, earthy, mineral, slight spice/pepper, beautiful cooked agave. A true winner. One of the best
