G4 Tequila Añejo de Madera Día de Muertos

Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Warm and silky on the palate, G4 Tequila Añejo de Madera Día de Muertos invites slow sips for reflective meals or festive gatherings, offering a rounded mouthfeel and a lingering, toasty finish. ABV (0.44); produced in Mexico from 100% blue agave and aged in wooden barrels as an Añejo, the release highlights careful barrel maturation and a Día de Muertos themed bottling that emphasizes tradition and craft.

On the nose and palate you get toasted oak, vanilla, warm caramel, dark chocolate and dried fruit with a hint of baking spice and gentle smoke, all balanced by agave sweetness. It pairs beautifully with the complex, savory-sweet layers of Mole negro, where the tequila’s cocoa and spice notes echo the sauce, and with Aged Manchego, whose nutty, salty profile is lifted by the tequila’s oak and caramel tones.
