Celebrating the Infinite
Día de Muertos is not an act of nostalgia; it’s a dialogue with the eternal. In this celebration, death is not an end but the beginning of a cycle that connects the living with those who have passed. When we conceived G4 Tequila’s campaign for this cherished tradition, we knew we needed to delve into its very essence: life as a journey, and death as its continuation.
Yet, life, much like a film shoot, is unpredictable. During production, the loss of my grandmother transformed our plans into something profoundly real. On camera, my grief became a central part of the narrative—a raw, honest reflection of what it means to inhabit the space where lived moments turn into legacy, and loss becomes memory.
La Catrina: Guardian of Memory
At the heart of this campaign lies our interpretation of La Catrina. Not as mere decoration, but as a being traversing realms, she carries the imprints of those who have departed—the tequila, the mole, the crafts—each infused with the time that shaped them. In her journey, she delivers these offerings to the altar, where everything merges in a symbolic dance celebrating the union of life and death.
The Camarena family, with their deep tequila-making lineage, embodies this same principle. Their craft serves as a bridge between generations, a conversation with the past while building the future. Each bottle of G4 is a distilled poem—a dialogue between ancestors and the living, reminding us that tequila is also a taste of time.
A Reflection That Changes Perspectives
Among the many stories sparked by this campaign, one stood out. Drinkwithwayne, a critic who was moved by the meaning behind the tradition. Influenced by our message, he purchased a bottle and shared a reflection: his liquor collection had become a tribute to his grandfather. This moment crystallized our mission—to weave stories together and bring personal legacies to life.

G4: A Taste of Time is more than a tagline—it’s a truth. Life and tequila share a common language: both are products of time, requiring patience and care, inviting us to pause and savor the fleeting. With every sip of G4 Día de Muertos, we honor what was lived and celebrate what was inherited.
This campaign was more than a project; it was an act of faith in art’s ability to transform and connect. From personal grief to the stories we inspired, every image, word, and sip of G4 wove a bridge between the tangible and intangible, the present and the eternal.
