My Tasting Notes: I tried this tequila at Zocalo’s free tasting and tasted it out of a
shot glass. The tequila is clear in color and is aged less than 1 month. Chinaco Blanco
aromas consist of intense earth, spice, and floral aspects followed by moderate
smoke. On the lighter side, this Blanco has mild aromas of fruit. On the tip of tongue,
this tequila is mellow and has a medium mouth feel. While the tequila has heavy
agave flavor, it is sweet and has only a hint of bitterness. The flavor of this tequila
contains intense flavors of earth, agave, and floral followed by moderate wood and
fruit aspects. Deeper flavors of Chinaco Blanco consist of mild smoke and spice. Upon
finishing this tequila, there is a medium-to-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, "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."
