The 7 Year Extra Añejo begins with 100% Tequilana Weber Blue Agave, slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens, then crushed using a traditional volcanic stone tahona wheel. After double distillation in copper pot stills, the liquid enters a remarkable two-stage maturation: six years in Felipe's collection of old George Dickel Tennessee whiskey barrels, followed by a finishing year in single-use French oak wine barrels. This dual-wood approach, combined with the extended aging period, produces a tequila of uncommon depth while preserving recognizable agave character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with floral notes and roasted agave before revealing layers of leather, caramelized toffee, and dark chocolate.

Agave piñas are slow-cooked in dual steam stone clay ovens, then crushed using the distillery's custom-built tahona stone nicknamed \"Felipestein,\" which extracts an estimated 97% of sugars from the agave fibers. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using only natural yeast, and the liquid is double distilled in copper pot stills. Water used throughout production is a 50\/50 blend of deep well water and collected rainwater. What separates the Dia de Los Muertos edition from G4's standard añejo is the aging vessel: vintage George Dickel Tennessee whiskey barrels, which impart a distinctive layer of whiskey-inflected character beneath the agave-forward profile G4 is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with roasted cooked agave and a thread of black pepper, followed by vanilla, cinnamon, and a wisp of butterscotch.
