My Tasting Notes: I purchased 1.5 ounces of this tequila at Zocalo in Sacramento,
CA for $12 and tasted it out of a snifter. The tequila is golden in color and is aged for
up to 4 years. Chinaco Anejo aromas consist of intense vanilla, earth, and floral
aspects followed by moderate fruit. On the lighter side, this Anejo has mild aromas of
caramel with hints of spice and smoke. On the tip of tongue, this tequila is mellow and
has a thick and syrupy mouth feel. While the tequila has moderate-to-heavy agave
flavor, it is sweet and has only a hint of bitterness. The flavor of this tequila contains
intense flavors of earth followed by moderate floral and vanilla aspects. Deeper flavors
of Chinaco Anejo consist of mild fruit, caramel, and smoke. Upon finishing this tequila,
there is a long-to-very long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: n/a
Other Info: The Neck tag on the Chinaco bottle reads, "When Chinaco 100% Blue
Agave tequila first arrived in the United States in 1983, it created a new category
within the tequila industry. Chinaco was the first of the true super-premium tequilas to
come to the USA. Immediately Chinaco built a reputation for itself among the true
connoisseurs of great tequila. After the distillery was closed in the late 1980's,
Chinaco became the most sought after tequila ever produced. Since then, many other
tequilas have attempted to emulate its success. Now, under the guidance of the four
sons of the founder, Guillermo Gonzalez, La Gonzalena distillery is once again
producing legendary tequila in very limited quantities.
Chinaco Anejo tequila is the crowning achievement of La Gonzalena. It is carefully
aged for up to 4 years in government sealed and certified oak barrels, enriching the
tequila with the characteristics and elegance of a fine cognac. This rare enticing tequila
is demanded by those who have an obsession for perfection.
Serve Chinaco Anejo in a snifter to be savoured like a fine cognac, on the rocks, or use
it to enhance your favorite margarita recipe.
May we also suggest the fresh Chinaco Blanco and Chinaco Reposado, barrel aged for
up to one year.
