Retro label and a new formula! Sign me up for a bottle. The new Clásico is a blend of whiskey and sherry barrels, and the sherry really comes through. So does the newer barrels with some vanilla and marshmallow. Lots darker than the standard repo. Easy drinker.
Video review. Will do proper right up later.
Did a video review of this. Will review properly at home Here is the home review This bottle is made from 90 percent of the G4 Blanco and adds 10 percent fibers. It is a 40ABV offering and there should be plenty around with over 2000 cases produced. However, don't snooze if you are considering this as the nostalgic look alone is doing wonders for the sales. This has a G4 nose. I went to compare it with the standard G4 Blanco and to me chagrin, I was completely out. Plenty of 108s and Maderas but nada on the standard Blanco. This nose is floral and earthy. I get mint and vegetal and citrus notes. On the Palate, sweet cooked agave. Minerality, earth and pepper. Hints of Jalapeno and citrus. I get mint and olive. This is a nice tequila that I can recommend with confidence. I purchased this bottle from High Spirits (Jongmin Kim). It is interesting that my TMM on this one is a point lower than the regular G4. I really wish I had a bottle to compare it to. I am sure I can rectify that next trip to High Spirits.

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.
