4 Copas Tequila Añejo
Review
“Organic” — a word prominently featured on this añejo’s label — might seem like a buzz term in other spirits categories. But tequila as an alcoholic beverage is more like wine than, say, whiskey; base ingredients matter more here. And rather than seeing one growing season, agave experiences seven (on average), with all of the implied nutritional and disease complications therefore multiplied. In this case, responsible farming has led to quality base ingredients and a spirit that noses and tastes more vibrant than many of its competitors, mineral-rich and sweet off the bat with a delectable fruity core. Stone fruit, in particular, stands out on the palate, which is decadent but not oaky, and intense but not overbearing. It’s pricey but it will challenge any other sipping spirit on your shelf — and it might well win.
