Product Description

4 Copas Organic Añejo Tequila: The Organic Pioneer, Aged 17 Months in Charred American Oak

4 Copas is known as the world’s first certified organic tequila, and this Añejo is the brand’s crowning achievement. It’s made from organically grown Blue Weber agave in Amatitán, Jalisco, and aged for 17 months in charred American white oak. It took master distiller Sebastián Meléndrez and his team seven years to develop. The brand calls it the “king” of its lineup. It’s certified organic by the USDA and EU, blessed as kosher, and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

The name 4 Copas means “four cups,” and the brand supports the Sea Turtle Restoration Project. The tequila has won recognition from critics and competitions, including a Double Gold and Best of Class at the 2020 ADI Spirits Competition.

How 4 Copas Añejo Is Made

• Agave: Organic Blue Weber agave from the Lowlands of Amatitán, harvested at 5½ to 7 years, with the master distiller testing the sugar of each piña before harvest.
• Cooking: Slow-cooked in traditional brick hornos.
• Grinding: Tahona and shredder.
• Fermentation: Slow, with proprietary organic yeast.
• Distillation: Double-distilled in copper pot stills.
• Aging: 17 months in charred American white oak.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep amber with golden and orange hues and great body.

Aroma: Intense burned vanilla, tobacco, nuts, coffee, and maple from the American oak, over sweet cooked agave, with dried peach, apricot, cherry, and rose petals. The brand calls it harmonious and elegant.

Palate: Sweet and soft, with burned vanilla, tobacco, nuts, maple, and cooked agave. The mouthfeel is intense.

Finish: Sweet and lingering.

A critic’s review described vanilla, caramel, baked agave, cola, and a hint of talc on the nose, with clove, cinnamon, and cedar on the mid-palate, scoring it 94 points.

Food Pairings

The vanilla, maple, and dried-fruit notes pair well with dark chocolate, flan, and pecan pie. It also goes with grilled steak, roasted pork, aged cheeses, and a good cigar.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it neat in a tulip glass or over one large cube so the oak and cooked agave come through. It’s a sipper first, but it also makes a rich base for a tequila Old Fashioned or tequila Manhattan.
