4 Copas Añejo is a certified organic, additive-free tequila made from 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave in Amatitán, Jalisco, aged 17 months in charred American oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV.
4 Copas is regarded as the world's first tequila certified organic by both the USDA and the EU, and it is also Kosher certified. It is made under master distiller Sebastián Melendrez at Hacienda de Oro (NOM 1480), from agave grown in the volcanic soils of Amatitán. The long maturation brings a deep amber hue and a complex character rooted in purity and tradition.
Rich amber with golden-orange hues, it offers charred vanilla, roasted nuts, coffee, maple and tobacco on the nose, with dried peach, apricot and cherry and a floral touch of rose. The palate is sweet and soft, with cooked agave, burnt vanilla, maple, nuts and subtle oak, intense yet smooth.
An organic, additive-free añejo, it makes a fine gift.
Sip it neat or over a single large ice cube.
Añejo tequila is aged between one and three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, long enough to add colour, sweetness and spice while keeping the character of the agave, which makes it a natural sipping tequila.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
