Many times, if it’s “good for you,” whatever “it” is will taste like cardboard and Elmer’s glue. Have you ever had soy milk? Wholly crap, people. I’d rather eat my Adidas. Similarly, I tend to scoff at products splattered with the words “organic” or “all natural,” as these descriptions strike me many times as gimmiky.
4 Copas Tequila may be the exception. Currently available in three varieties, Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo, 4 Copas has just been certified as the world’s first organic tequila. Practically, what this means is that the company closely manages its own distillery and fields and maintains a tight grip on all phases of the production:
“We cultivate and supervise our own plantations, as well as the fields resulting from our partnerships with other agave producers, to assure the handling of organic raw materials, that is, free of pesticides and chemical manures.”
Sound like a gimmick? Maybe, but 4 Copas has been chosen by Wine & Spirits Magazine as the 2006 Tequila of the Year. Marketing implications aside, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pure ingredients. One drawback — this stuff is difficult to get a hold of at this point. Until national distribution can be set up, the best place to purchase 4 Copas is online at Internet Wine and Spirits.
