Review Detail

Chinaco Anejo NOM 1127 Tasted on 4/26/07 at 4:22pm. 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 3 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. I have rated this tequila at 95 out of 100 points.
