4 copas - certified organic tequila?

4 Copas and La Quemada Distillery based in El Arenal, Jalisco has released the first certified organic Tequila ever. In 1996, the vision of four men, united by the love and the appreciation for the land of Jalisco, gave life to the Compañía Tequilera La Quemada. The story dates back three generations, decades before the formal creation of La Quemada, when they began to grow Blue Agave—the essence of genuine, authentic tequila. Jalisco is a land renowned for its traditions, including the production of handicrafts. The beautiful crafts produced from hand-blown glass, typical of Zapopan, is the pride of all Mexicans. At La Quemada, they work in unison with the glass-blowing workshops that craft the special bottles for their tequila. La Quemada strives to support the craftspeople of Jalisco contributing to the preservation of an old and beautiful tradition. In may of this year 4 Copas Tequila was honored at an event celebrating it's endorsement as the first Certified Organic tequila in history. 4 Copas was named the Tequila of the year in 2006 by 'Wine & Spirits Magazine' and won consecutive gold medals at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, California. They offer Blanco, Reposado and Anejo varieties along with a limited edition bottle that is a magnificent work of art. If you are interested in organic beverages and you like Tequila visit their site here. 4 Copas is your only choice. It is not widely distributed in the US & Canada yet, but we have heard that it can be found in parts of California, Arizona, Hawaii, Alberta, Nova Scotia & Ontario. We have found that it is available from many online liquor stores though. We ordered 1 bottle of each variety and are eagerly awaiting for them to arrive so we can taste it first hand.

I am wondering if Tequila Savvy has had a chance to try the 3 bottles of 4 Copas? If so, please please review. I can not find it anyplace and am wondering if it is worth the effort to buy via the web. Thanks
