The aroma opens with apple-pear brightness, astringency, oak, cooked agave, maple, walnut, citrus, sarsaparilla, and an earthy undertone. At 110 proof, it carries the expected heat, though slightly more restrained than the Blanco and Reposado. On the palate, oak and anise come through immediately, followed by peppermint, caramel, cooked agave, prune, roasted hazelnut, and cacao. Unfortunately, a sharp astringency cuts through and becomes hard to ignore. The finish brings orange citrus and lingering cooked agave, resting in earthiness—but the final sip reveals a saccharin-like note that felt harsh and unwelcome. I really wanted to enjoy this as much as the previous 110 offerings, but for me, it doesn’t quite reach the same level.

Nose: Agave, Oak, Nuts, Dates, Cocoa, Carmel,Butter, Hay, Papaya, Minerality Mouthfeel: Medium bodied Palate: Alcohol, Dates, Cocoa, earth, Finish: Carmel, Chocolate, Honey, Pepper, Thyme Excellent nose on this one,with a bit more spice and burn going down. I get chocolate/cocoa all over this from Nose to Finish. Very sweet carmel and date undertones throughout the experience as well.
Nose: vanilla bomb/ sweet agave cooked / butter/ pear / apple / orange peel/ grapefruit/ lemongrass / baking spice / alcohol/ cream soda Taste; sweet agave cooked / pepper / vanilla / cinnamon/ earth / mineral/ vegetal / apple/ banana / lime/ grapefruit/ lemongrass / peppermint / minerals/ cream soda /alcohol Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel / nice coating of the palate provides a pleasant texture to the lingering sweet agave, vanilla, and pepper flavors / a rainwater type of clean and mineral taste continues with the pepper notes to the very end of the taste. This 110 proof (55%abv) blanco really delivers great flavor without much alcohol taste. There’s a decent balance of the major taste notes, and a nice easy clean finish that makes this high proof blanco very enjoyable.
The aroma presents an overt sweetness intertwined with honey, oak, cooked agave, and penetrating ethyl, complemented by notes of cooked sweet potato, pine, cinnamon and sugar, vanilla bean, and a faint ash in an emptied glass. On the palate, the experience includes cooked agave, banana, wood, cooked sweet potato, and bourbon/whiskey, with an off-putting saccharin sweetness. Additional flavors of plum, a vegetal tone, cream soda, cooked pineapple, lightly salted butter, and fruity notes with minute bitterness, cherry, and a minuscule dill tone add complexity. The finish is marked by the persistence of saccharin sweetness, fading cream soda, grassiness, freshness, and tangy citrus.
Tastes as part of a Fuerte Friday blind. Here are my notes. 4 Copas has a very nice nose of agave and earth and minerals. The citrus is that of lemon. Taste wise this is alcohol foremost, with some citrus, pineapple, and agave. Too much alcohol as the ABV doesn’t work to enhance this one.
The flavor that is there masks the agave. Overall not terrible not good just there.
