Info on the Back of the Bottle: "La Gonzalena distillery was built by Lic.
Guillermo Gonzalez, the great grandson of Mexico's president, General Manuel
Gonzalez. This tiny distillery stopped producing tequila in the early 1980's and only
reopened again in 1993, under the new direction of the four sons of Lic. Gonzalez.
Chinaco tequila was named after the infamous and heroic fighting Chinacos who were
the untiring defenders of Mexico during the Guerra de Reforma (War of Reform) in the
1850's and the French Intervention in 1863. The tequila was named Chinaco to
represent the distillery's constant fight for survival against the large tequila producers.
According to Mexican law, Reposado (rested) is tequila that has been aged at least 2
months but less than one year. The Chinaco Reposado has been aged for at least six
months but less than one year.
Chinaco Reposado's flavor is mellow and soft with the barrel aging imparting a unique
taste. Chinaco's legendary flavor is demanded by tequila aficionados around the world
because it is truly tequila excepcional."
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 Reposado, the polished character of Reposado comes from up to one year
aging in selected oak barrels.
