As the only tequila permitted to be produced in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, Chinaco offers a singular coastal terroir completely distinct from traditional tequila-producing regions. This ultra-limited, collector-grade bottling honors that lineage by reviving the brand's iconic original green label and heritage glass design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liquid inside represents a historic liquid archive, celebrating a true collaboration of generations. Masterfully blended under the direction of the González family, this expression marries a prominent block of rare 2002 vintage Extra Añejo (aged 3 years in the founder's favorite select white oak barrels) with a younger, vibrant 1-year-old Añejo. The resulting blend possesses an average maturation profile of approximately 30 months, striking an immaculate balance between mature, complex wood structure and vibrant estate-grown agave character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe agave is cooked using low-temperature autoclaves, crushed in a traditional molino, fermented for 72 hours in stainless steel, and double-distilled in modified copper alembic stills restored from the original 1972 pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Tequilera La Gonzaleña (NOM 1127)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Tamaulipas, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: 100% Blue Weber Agave (Azul Weber Tequilana, averaging 10 years old)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation Blend: Predominantly 2002 Extra Añejo (aged 3 years) blended with classic Añejo (aged 1 year); average age ~30 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProof: 80 Proof (40% Alc.\/Vol.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Size: Highly restricted, ultra-limited allocation worldwide \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: Deep, brilliant golden amber with rich copper highlights and exceptional viscosity, forming slow, heavy legs in the glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: An elegant, deeply layered bouquet.
