Product Information

Trained as an engineer, he combines the best of tequila-making techniques with efficient, modern technologies to create his award-winning, additive-free tequilas. I only hope that whatever agave-based spirit that you choose to celebrate with, you appreciate not only its great taste but its unique origins. His family heritage combined with his engineering background has led to a distillery like none other at El Pandillo. Master distiller Felipe Camarena has created such a refined, elegantly crafted, rich sipping style añejo,” says Quiñonez.

With its elegant notes of dried fruit, ripe pineapple, honey and cooked agave, I recommend using a tequila glass or a champagne flute to truly take in the expression’s bold flavors and luxurious taste.A lot of people [ask] me why I don't patent any of my machinery or practices, but do you really think anybody out there will be as obsessive and crazy to work this hard and build everything out like I did? The finish of G4 is long and comfortably warm, with notes of cinnamon and black pepper, as well as a dry sensation that conveniently invites you to continue sipping.

I contacted bartenders in Georgia, Ohio, Chicago and Alabama as well to get a scope of what they have available,” Bailon says.The Camarena Family has been making tequila since 1937, one of the founding families to Los Altos in Jesus Maria, Arandas. The barrels give it a light copper color and some added complexity without distracting you from the agave.

It has a velvety feel with notes of chocolate vanilla, cinnamon, and butterscotch with complex spices such as chile de arbol and clove.And I’m glad she brought up all this historical information, while many others often hesitate to go that far back and shy away from inconvenient facts. This is yet another masterpiece from destilería La Tequileña, where only the finest most mature agaves are able to make the cut.

Felipe is uncompromising in crafting pure luxury tequila by both honoring traditions like copper stills and stone ovens and using only their own mature agave plants, but also innovating by distilling with harvested rainwater, creating stone ovens that evenly cook the tequila, taking out the internal “male parts” of the agave to remove bitterness, recycling the cooked agave and turning it into fertilizer. While mezcal is truly ancestral, because it’s made by the indigenous communities of Mexico, who own their own land and the agaves they cultivate in it. Living in San Francisco gives me a lot more variety than most markets and I wanted to stay cognizant of that fact.

I can proudly say that I’ve had a unique front row seat into the world of tequila, not only within my own career and extensive travels throughout Mexico but through my mother’s as well,” Quiñonez says. My education and training include a thorough knowledge of agave spirits creation from planting agaves to bottling, including distillation. Not only could you start your journey of 40% blanco's here, but you could almost end it too- its that good!
