The Agavo Awards celebrate the best in agave spirits—Tequila, Mezcal, Raicilla, and more.
Created by Tequila Matchmaker in collaboration with the AMCP, these awards are unique: all spirits are blind-tasted and purchased at retail, meaning the judges sample the exact same bottles available to the public.
Divided into two tracks—Taste and Marketing & Design—the awards highlight not just flavor, but the storytelling, branding, and educational efforts that surround great agave spirits.
This year, PKGD was honored with multiple awards across both categories. Here's what we brought home:

“Felipe’s Way”
A short documentary that captures the legacy, labor, and love behind G4 Tequila.

🏆 Best Mezcal: Ultramundo; Best Raicilla: Asil
Two of our producer-owned brands, both recognized as the best in their category.

“Rooted in Ahuacatepec”
An in-depth journey into the tradition of Raicilla and the land that shapes their spirits.

Día de Muertos Campaign
A tribute to the spiritual and cultural meaning of the celebration, told through the special edition of G4 Día de Muertos 2024.

The highest-rated mezcal in the competition.
An award for purity, character, and staying true to tradition.

Our high-proof expression, made without compromise.
Smooth, structured, and full of character.

A mezcal with soul, balance, and tradition.

The first aged raicilla in the world—and now, an award-winning one.
The essence of Raicilla de la Sierra, 100% Maximiliana.

Bold, undiluted, unapologetic. It’s no wonder it’s becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in the category.
Each of these awards reaffirms our mission: to tell real stories, support producer-owned brands, and raise the bar for quality and transparency in the agave world.
You can taste the difference.
You can see the work.
You can share the story.
All of it lives at PKGD.

Tequila enters an era of accountability where liquid must match the narrative. Producer-owned brands prioritize legacy over marketing, ensuring that transparency and craftsmanship remain the true pillars of the spirit.

Asil transcends branding to explore identity as practice. This upcoming documentary follows Álvaro Fernández Labastida, examining legacy and authorship through a restrained, editorial lens on aged raicilla.

Spring calls for citrus, tropical notes, and vibrant acidity. This season, PKGD invites you to choose your own flavor. Explore our agave-based cocktail recipes and find the perfect spirit to define your spring break.
