4 Copas Extra Anejo 750ML

4 Copas Extra Añejo 750ML is a certified organic extra añejo tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml format. Aged a full 50 months in American white oak barrels — well beyond the three-year minimum required for extra añejo classification — this expression stands out as one of the longer-rested organic tequilas on the market.

Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico  |  Aged 50 Months  |  Distillery: Hacienda De Oro

Production & Heritage

4 Copas Extra Añejo is distilled at Hacienda De Oro in Amatitán, a town in the lowlands of Jalisco long associated with traditional tequila production. Master Distiller Sebastian Melendrez oversees a process built around organic agave, organic yeast, and lowland water, with no additives introduced at any stage. The liquid carries both USDA and EU organic certifications as well as Kosher certification — a rare trifecta in the extra añejo category. After distillation, the tequila rests for 50 months in American white oak barrels, giving it ample time to develop deep color and layered complexity that distinguishes it from the brand's younger expressions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with charred vanilla and butterscotch before moving into roasted nuts, coffee, and maple. Beneath those richer tones sit dried fruit notes — apricot, cherry, and peach — alongside a subtle floral hint of rose and honeysuckle.

Taste: The entry is sweet and soft, with cooked agave taking the lead alongside deep burnt vanilla and maple. At mid-palate, almond and cinnamon emerge, layered with warm oak and a gentle tobacco character. The extended aging integrates these flavors seamlessly, lending a rounded, almost cognac-like weight on the tongue.

Finish: Long and concentrated, with clove and vanilla lingering alongside a persistent butterscotch sweetness. The oak influence remains present but restrained, leaving a warm, clean close without bitterness.

How to Drink 4 Copas Extra Añejo

With 50 months of barrel maturation, this tequila deserves to be sipped neat in a snifter or Glencairn glass at room temperature; a few drops of water can open up the dried fruit and floral notes further. That said, its rich oak and vanilla profile also works in spirit-forward cocktails:

• Añejo Old Fashioned — The deep butterscotch and cinnamon character integrates beautifully with a demerara sugar cube and Angostura bitters.
• Oaxacan Old Fashioned — Split the base with a smoky mezcal to contrast the Extra Añejo's sweetness and add depth.
• Tequila Manhattan — The extended oak aging gives this expression enough structure to stand up to sweet vermouth and a dash of mole bitters.

Best For

• Gifting a tequila aficionado who appreciates organic and additive-free spirits
• After-dinner sipping as a brandy or cognac alternative
• Building a premium aged-tequila collection alongside añejo and reposado expressions
• Hosting a tasting flight comparing lowland versus highland extra añejo tequilas

Why 4 Copas Extra Añejo?

The defining feature here is time: 50 months in American white oak is nearly 14 months beyond the extra añejo minimum, and that additional maturation is evident in the spirit's depth and integration. Organic certification from both USDA and the EU, paired with Kosher certification and a strict no-additive policy, means the flavor comes entirely from agave and barrel — nothing else. Master Distiller Sebastian Melendrez's use of lowland water and organic yeast gives the distillate a clean, soft foundation that lets the extended oak aging add richness without overwhelming the agave core. For drinkers seeking a tequila that can compete with fine aged spirits from any category, this expression makes a compelling case.
