My Tasting Notes: I purchased this bottle for $50 and tried it in my home, out of a
Riedel glass. When examining price versus quality this tequila received the highest
rating possible. While the bottle itself is simple and nothing special, Chinaco 1996
Anejo is well worth $50 a bottle. The tequila is a dark golden color and is aged for up
to 4 years. Chinaco 1996 aromas consist of intense caramel and floral aspects
followed by moderate vanilla. On the lighter side, this Anejo has mild aromas of fruit
and spice with a hint of earth. On the tip of tongue, this tequila is mellow and has an
oily mouth feel. While the tequila has heavy agave flavor, it is very sweet and has no
bitterness. The flavor of this tequila was truly exceptional with intense flavors of
vanilla, agave, and floral followed by moderate-to-intense caramel. Deeper flavors of
Chinaco 1996 Anejo consist of moderate fruit, mild earth, and a hint of spice. 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: Chinaco is a Premium Reserve tequila of the
rarest quality and taste. Produced and bottled by hand in Mexico. Chinaco Tequila
contains no additives.
Certified as a true Anejo tequila by the Mexican government, Chinaco Tequila is rich
and flavorful, produced in limited quantity the old fashioned way.
100% Blue Agave Tequila
Serving Suggestions: Serve as you would a very fine Cognac or Armagnac, either
straight up or on the rocks.
Chinaco Premium Reserve Tequila is a special premium selection from: Robert Denton
and Co. Ltd. Exclusive Importers of Premium Spirits.
Other Info: The Neck tag on the Chinaco bottle reads, "CHINACO 100% AGAVE
TEQUILA RETURNS - For many years Chinaco 100% agave tequila defied rivalry. Then
the tiny La Gonzalena distillery stunned generations of discerning drinkers and
stopped producing. Now, after a short absence, the revered name returns.
Today, the tequila that leaves La Gonzalena is only a mere trickle compared to the
production of the giant tequila factories. But every drop of Chinaco produced under
the direction of the four sons of Guillermo Gonzales is meticulously crafted and lives up
to its legendary heritage of excellence.
Chinaco Anejo is the crowning achievement of the La Gonzalena distillery and it is soon
to be re-released. Aged in government sealed and certified barrels for up to four
years, its silky rich, deep finish is for those with an obsession for perfection.
