4 Copas 110 Proof Organic Anejo Tequila

4 Copas 110 Proof Añejo is Sebastián Meléndrez's seventeen-month organic añejo at 55% ABV — barrel strength, no additives, no water beyond what the still left. 4 Copas was the world's first certified-organic tequila — the name means four cups, from the old Mexican verse we shall drink four cups — born in Amatitán, the cradle of tequila, and made at NOM 1480, Tequila Las Américas, the certified-organic distillery in the Tequila Valley; the brand supports the Sea Turtle Restoration Project. The 110 Proof Añejo is the organic blanco aged seventeen months in charred American white oak and bottled at 55% ABV. The house describes the standard Añejo as burned vanilla, tobacco, nuts, coffee, and maple over sweet cooked agave, dried peach, apricot, and cherry, and rose petals — harmonious and elegant; Alex Garcia found it opened up like nothing else in the range. At barrel strength, expect the same deep amber pour with a dense nose of burned vanilla, tobacco, coffee, and dried fruit, opening into a big, oily, spicy palate of caramel, cooked agave, and toasted oak with real heat and a long, warm finish that a drop of water opens further. Honest note: barrel-proof añejo tequila is a tiny category — this is the bottle for the cask-strength whiskey drinker who wants to taste what agave does at full volume under oak, and it's not a Margarita. Neat with a drop of water, in a snifter, slowly. Four cups, seventeen months, at 110.
