Chinaco Añejo Tequila

good sipping tequila

What a week...yesterday was my first rum, today my first tequila. Thank you Davie for this amazing bottle! I'm not sure what's a good tequila or not so good...so I won't rank stars here. On to the notes ---found this particular tequila amazing. Right at opening the bottle, I was able to smell grass, sea salt, and lime. I can smell this all day. Taste is more of the same---sweet and salty, fresh green lime, and a hint of smoke---like a mild peat Islander. I really like this---maybe the first spirit outside red wine and whiskey that I truly enjoyed. Davie---thank you!

All hands on deck! We are now entering uncharted waters... There's a lot of going on in here totally unfamiliar to me, these are the notes I can even recognize, so just try to keep up. Nose: sea salt, tart lime, creamy vanilla and earthy pine, even a whiff of gin-like juniper. Palate: sweet and salty, juicy tropical fruits, including tart and slightly unripe kiwi, some mint, trace of smoke. Finish: huge, earthy, mildly spicy, with everlasting fresh celery. That's right, celery. Until breakfast. Dry glass: aromatic sandalwood.
