It smells rich and butterscotch like a great scotch. The palate is less creamy and more minty than expected, a little like Arta Anejo. There is more would than expected, but the maltiness does come out with some nice smooth cinnamon mixed with toasted wood giving it a flavor of butterscotch that broaches toffee. It's a clean scotch profile somehow. I appreciate the apple flavor too that reassures me that it is scotch. It has this kind of bourbon element that reminds me of Glenfiddich 14 or maybe Compass Box Spice Tree. It's quite tasty, but I do think I like the Reposado a tad better.i do appreciate how the tequila elements interact in an interesting fashion, but the flavor is still not exceptional.
About this bottle
Created by Felipe Camarena, G4 (four generations) is a tequila distilled at El Pandillo Distillery in Jesús María, Jalisco. The agaves are cooked in one of two stone ovens on site for 22 hours and crushed in a handmade metal tahona nicknamed "Felipestein". It is distilled in copper stills for both distillations. The water used to create the tequila is a 50/50 mix of collected rainwater and spring water. Their añejo tequila is aged for 2 years in former bourbon barrels. Additive free.

This was probably the most pleasant tequila I have ever tasted. Agave flavor is the prominent and pretty much the only flavor so it is perfect for sipping.
Big barrel on the nose but less pronounced on the palate. Still good, but I feel like the lovely nuance of the blanco and reposado has been lost.
Lime and salty agave nose. Citrus zing, sweetened oak, warming agave. Touch of ash. Moderate warming finish.
Decent tequila, but very light for an anejo. Tastes like a lightly barreled blanco. Not for sipping.
Very nice and tasty! So smooth
