Other Info: This tequila was debuted at Tommy's in 2003.

As far as I remember, there were only 1,350 bottles and only about 900 of that were
available in the U.S.  This will always be a must have for collector's.

Recently, I picked up this bottle from another collector and while it hurt to pay more
than double than the first one I bought, it was worth it in my mind.  I am a huge fan of
Chinaco products and will always support German Gonzales in anything he does so to
have bottle #9 signed by German means a lot more than $765 to me.

Inside the box, there is a letter from German Gonzales who is the Master Distiller of
this bottle of Chinaco.  The letter reads as follows:  Dear Tequila Enthusiast,  For
generations, my family has been handcrafting Chinaco Tequila in memory of famed
Chinaco warrior, Manuel Gonzalez - my great-great-grandfather.  To celebrate his
gallant memory, my family's rich heritage, and your appreciation for the world's finest
tequila, we are proud to present the Chinaco 30th Anniversary Emperador Anejo
Tequila.  

I set aside this specially bottled tequila more than seven years ago, in anticipation of
the 30th Anniversary of Chinaco.  Distilled, bottled, and aged with the true tequila
connoisseur in mind, Chinaco Emperador reveals a rich bouquet and complex depth,
equilibrium and style.  

Each handcrafted bottle has been numbered and signed by me, then packaged in a
one-of-a-kind, handmade box, featuring Mexican Emperor Maximillian in full Chinaco
battle dress.  Rich in both flavor and character, Chinaco Emperador reflects Mexico's
rich history and my family pride.  Thank you for sharing these traditions and for
celebrating this milestone with us.  

With pride,
German Gonzales
