My buddies gave this to me for my birthday. What a treat. Nice nose of cinnamon, barrel spices, raisin, and chocolate On the palate I get a lot of cinnamon. The taste lingers on the tongue and the lips. Earthy, minerality, black pepper. Great long finish. If you are a lover of G4 this is a very nice one. Knocked it a point for price even though it was given to me by my friends. I know they paid a lot for it.
G4 XA Mx lote 2 2013 I've tried this expression in the past but never rated it. received a sample from Matt Cavanaugh Agave Swappers and decided to do some sipping tonight. fruity with barrel spices and a pepper fizz, some oak but not excessively oakie, which is how i prefer my aged expressions. so this works for me.
This one is outstanding. Tons and tons of sweet cooked agave. Makes sense with the 10% fermentation with fibers. Amazing flavor of more cooked agave, a hint of black pepper and some brine. Great heavy body. A fairly short finish but really tasty. It’s incredibly easy to drink. I would definitely recommend picking this up if you are a G4/Pandillo fan!
Wow! Sampled at Starved Rock Tequila Fest. Dinging this one for price, though this anejo IS less expensive than last year’s Reposado. But when it comes to aroma, flavor, and finish—this is a banger! Get yourself a glass ASAP. Classic G4.
Just a sample. Enjoyed it like all G4, but I actually prefer the regular blanco. I like the Classico Reposado a touch more as well.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
The team behind the Tequila Matchmaker have launched a “Verified Additive Free” program for tequila brands and distilleries. This is the first known independent, additive-free verification in the spirits world.

This gem is for serious Extra Añejo lovers who can deal with a higher price, but also an extremely high quality fine sipping tequila, from maybe the top tequila maker in the world.
In Jalisco, you’re never far from an agave field or the delicious, distilled fruits of the harvest.?
For years we’ve been saying “process matters”, and that each choice made during the production process will find its way into the finished product. Now we have proof.
We sent six blanco tequilas to 28 members of the Tequila Matchmaker Tasting Panel to rate blind. Four of them are new to the market, and two of them are tequilas that have been around for a long time.
Tequila distilleries can differ from each other in many ways. So we used our database to find out which distilleries are creating tequilas that score highest among users of the Tequila Matchmaker app.
The truth behind “the coming tequila shortage”, and the real risks the industry faces.
The nose on this one is lighter than the regular 108, which I think most people would appreciate—it doesn’t punch you like a high proof, keeping its secret hidden until first sip. Similar flavors to the regular 108 with agave, minerals, pepper, but also a little bit sweeter. Yes it sips like a 108 proof with a nice zip and long finish, but it seems more balanced than the regular version—not as sharp. If you like 108 you’ve got to check out 108 XM! I’d give this one an extra couple points.
