Chinaco Reposado Tequila

Chinaco Reposado is unique because it is barrel-aged for at 8 months. While other Reposados are aged for less time in large vats.

The result is a mellow richness with a gentle woody character. Chinaco Reposado is a tequila that mixes beautifully, but stands proudly on its own.

Tequila Chinaco Reposado NOM 1127 tasted 10/2/08 from a Riedel glass. I ordered this from Shopper's Vineyard and paid 44.00/750ml. A clear light pale yellow color with long quick legs and lots of pearls. Loads of earthy agave, a fruity sweetness, and mild alcohol on the nose. A med to thin mouthfeel. First taste is simple and appears mild but then develops into a one-two heated agave punch turning hotter as it lingers. The aftertaste is intense but in a satisfying way. On the stronger side, much more so at the end than upon entry. Dominant agave and heat throughout the tasting finish. Sharp and dry with some spice and wood tones and not much else. A strong pure agave reposado sure to please thoses who like their tequila on the bold side. Presentation is on the simple side with nice smooth lines, cork stopper, and silk screened labeling.

Tasted in a caballito on June 18, 2008 fast dropping legs sticking to the side of the glass.

Chinaco Reposado

Color: very pale golden brown
Aroma: melted butter
Taste: dark chocolate , light oil mouthfeel that has a burn numbing the entire mouth

Another great Tequila from Chinaco ! This reposado is top notch with a light oily feel in the mouth and a light aged taste with a burn of a blanco. The Chinaco makes it into my top reposado along with at the time of this writing Sol Azul, Casa Noble & Corralejo.

Cork stopper with wooden top. Old bottles had a handblown look, but were not truly hand blown. New bottles are the same shape but clear glass. Old, old bottles had a screwtop metal cap and resembled a standard bottle/shape tall and round, with a paper label.

Ok here it goes.

This Tequila is a very light straw yellow coloured Reposado, in the wrong light you could even mistaken it for a Blanco.Very thick uniform legs as you swirl it in the glass. It is aged for 8 months

On the nose right now all we can detect is a mineral earthy smell is the best way for me to describe it. Very pleasant to me and one that I usually connect with a stone ground tequila but I don't think Chinaco is. Maybe a tad bit of citrus on a deep inhalation which quickly gives way to a bit of nasal burn. With the "hand rub" test i think I detect some peppermint.

The attack is warm agave intensity,but mucho suave.Dry not sweet. Not so much as a burn but as a tingle. Pepper and spice.With subtle Vanilla/Caramel hints. Long mild finish with a tad bit of anise at the very end.

In all a very enjoyable Tequila IMHO as can be verified by my empty bottle.I need another bottle!

Chinaco Reposado NOM 1127 Tasted on 4/26/07 at 4:00pm. I purchased 1.5 ounces of this tequila at Zocalo in Sacramento, CA for $10 and tasted it out of a snifter. The tequila is a yellow golden color and is aged for 8 months. Chinaco Reposado aromas consist of intense earth and floral aspects followed by moderate fruit and spice. On the lighter side, this Reposado has mild aromas of smoke and pepper with hints of vanilla and caramel. On the tip of tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a heavy and oily mouth feel. While the tequila has moderate agave flavor, it is sweet and has only a hint of bitterness. The flavor of this tequila contains intense flavors of earth and floral followed by moderate agave and chemical aspects. Deeper flavors of Chinaco Reposado consist of mild fruit and spice. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a long-to-very long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 94 out of 100 points.
