G4 Blanco Tequila
G4 Blanco Tequilas have found their way onto many “best of” lists, and for good reason. They are produced by the famous Destilería El Pandillo under the direction of Felipe Camarena, described by the International Tequila Academy as “highly respected for his producer skills, dedication to quality, love for nature, and his immense agave and tequila knowledge.” This standout distillery balances innovative techniques and traditional tequila crafting methods, with PUNCH tasters noting that G4 Blanco’s extraordinary texture and structure beautifully highlight the floral notes for which Highland tequilas are known.
Available in Missouri & Kansas.
ElVelo Blanco Tequila
Originally created as an ingredient in a variety of cocktails, ElVelo Blanco Tequila’s rich flavor profile quickly established itself as an exciting option when served neat. The agave used in its creation comes from a region in Tequila Valley known for its unique volcanic soil. Double distillation helps refine ElVelo Blanco’s already pure, agave taste, with a distinctive, earthy brininess that prompted PUNCH tasters to liken this tequila to olive tapenade.
Available in Missouri & Kansas.
Tapatío Blanco Tequila
Few tequilas are held in higher esteem than Tapatío Blanco, which receives high praise from all quarters time and again. Every step of this tequila’s production process is marked by intense attention to quality and craftsmanship. Distinct, while remaining highly approachable, PUNCH tasters commented on the nose’s minerality and the palate’s bright citrus and cinnamon notes.
Available in Missouri & Kansas.
