Tequila Joe's Collection |
My Tasting Notes: 4 Copas Anejo cost me about $100 at BevMo when I bought my
first bottle. I tasted this tequila in my home and used a Riedel glass for tasting. The
bottle is similar to a normal bottle except for a unique design on the back of the bottles
which is a man on horseback whose head is an agave plant. 4 Copas ages their Anejo
for at least one year which causes it to be a dark golden color. Intense aromas of this
tequila include earth and floral are followed by moderate notes of fruit, vanilla, spice,
caramel, and smoke. In the mouth, the Anejo is oily and heavy. While the tequila is
sweet and almost syrupy, there is only a minimal hint of bitterness. When examining
the flavors of 4 Copas Anejo, first impressions include intense earth and floral accents.
On a second sip, I noticed moderate flavors of agave, vanilla, and smoke. When
searching for deeper flavors upon tasting the tequila, one can taste mild notes of fruit,
wood, caramel, and spice. Unfortunately, this tequila only has a medium duration of
flavor but did have a nice numbing alcohol intensity.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: n/a
Other Info: The date stamp on this bottle is 5/26/2006.
4 Copas is one of our sponsors for the Tasting Aficionados and has participated with us
in numerous events. They were kind enough to donate bottles on numerous occasions
and one of their donations is featured here as their Anejo.
According to the neck tag on the bottle of 4 Copas, "Centuries of tradition and fine
craftsmanship are the essence of this superb spirit, proud ambassador of Mexican
roots and culture. Cuatro Copas is made of 100% blue agave, the soul of tequila,
which grows in our fields for at least eight years. Tequila Blanco is bottled after double
distillation, Tequila Reposado is aged in blackened white oak barrels for at least six
months, while Tequila Anejo is aged for at least one year.
We are proud to bring life to one of the finest tequilas in the world."
In addition to the neck tag, the 4 Copas website provides the following information
about their Anejo:
"It is deemed the king of tequilas because of it's age and authenticity. There are no
caramels or flavours added, that is the unmistakable American White Oak, carefully
charred that you are tasting.
The foresight and commitment to develop a certified organic tequila of this quality and
maturity was a team effort over a period of 7 years. Sebastian Melendrez created
Seleccion Suprema before joining the 4 Copas All Star team and began crafting the 4
Copas Anejo.
This beverage is stealing the hearts of scotch and cognac drinkers everywhere. It is
difficult to believe how good a tequila can taste until you know it, and then it is very
hard to turn back to what you once thought was love.
Our whole line of tequilas including our Anejo has a strong agave finish, along with
some other wonderful nuances.
This is one Anejo you will truly enjoy."
