4 Copas Anejo Tequila

4 Copas Añejo rests in white oak barrels for a minimum of one year. During this time, the Añejo is impregnated with the oak’s properties, which leaves its color dark amber and confers a medium wooden flavor, thereby becoming a proud competitor in valued spirits, like fine cognac, in international markets.

The first certified organic tequila, 4 Copas Tequila, is producing a limited edition sea turtle bottle in honor of the symposium and sea turtle conservation research. Proceeds will be donated to SeaTurtle.org, a non-profit organization specializing in satellite tracking projects on turtles. Pictures of this bottle and the artwork are below.

A full body and golden brown anejo, with an aroma of sweet agave, wood, and mild vanilla and caramel. Initially sweet and spicy on the tongue, with a great combination of agave and wood body, and subtle alcohol. A medium finish, full of fruit and sweet spice.

The last in the line of very good tequilas. 4 Copas is an organic brand that has a very loyal following.

Aroma: The nose is full of vanilla, fruit (berries & a little banana), agave and a hint of smoke. Very complex and a really nice scent.
Initial Taste: Woody agave, vanilla and brown spices (clove & light cinnamon)
Body: A nice heavy and oily mouth. Nice amounts of caramel, oak and fruit combine with the agave and spices. The body is exquisite.
Finish: A nice, long finish for an anejo. The agave kick lingers nicely and the oak, caramel and spice stay on the tongue as well.

A wonderful tequila in all aspects. Great start, middle and end. The bottle does not convey the craftsmanship that lies within. If you can get your hands on a bottle of 4 Copas anejo...do it. It's easily the best of their line.

the taste is of agave with nothing in the way of the flavor, such as to much wood flavor. I did not find this tequila to be overly sweet. In fact I detected a slight alcohol bite, which is good. The price seemed fine for such a good anejo. If one enjoys a good sipping anejo, this would be one to try.

Tasted in a snifter glass coating the glass with nice forming legs. 4 Copas Anejo Color: brown tint Aroma: brown sugar Taste: agave and brown sugar with slight oil mouthfeel with a smooth spicy finish The 4 Copas anejo is sweet with the taste of a dark brown sugar with a smooth long lasting finish. This is a superb sipper and being organic is not a stunt. This is a wonderful anejo ! The 4 Copas moves up with my favorite anejos as of this writing.

Tasted 07/23/08 out of double ball glass. 4 Copas anejo was an amazing experience. I actually prefer their anejo more than their reposado or blanco. And this is coming from a blanco drinker! To me, a very complex and memorable anejo. If I was to stock an anejo in my house, this one would be a candidate.

Aroma: I detected notes of vanilla, caramel, and agave. Actually, in that order.
Initial Taste: On the tip of my tongue, very sweet and almost syrup like. No bitterness.
Body: A very complex body with many flavors. Agave, a sweet vanilla, smoke, and wood.
Finish: I was a bit disappointed, but it was a short finish with a decent alcohol intensity.

4 Copas Anejo NOM 1457 tasted 2/29/08 in Riedel glass. This tequila is one of the top rated anejo's out there for a reason. There's not much more I can say about this exceptional tequila except to add myself to the list of people who thoroughly enjoy it. It's top notch all the way. Full intense agave, just the right amounts of sweetness, blends of vanilla, carmel and smokeyness. Smooth and bold at the same time. Not to be missed.
