Tasting: 3 Tamaulipas tequilas from Chinaco, ready for your cocktail needs. tequila agave cocktails
When it comes to the U.S. spirits market, what is “new” is always a matter of perception just as much as it is black-and-white reality. A brand can technically have been available in the U.S. for years, or decades, before it finds a particular niche to inhabit. Perhaps it’s only now being introduced to your market, or a new line extension changes the overall perception of the brand. Perhaps the recipes are refreshed, or the packaging and marketing.
Most Chinaco products also undergo unusually long aging periods, which is another aspect setting the brand apart, and part of what contributes to its somewhat higher MSRPs, relatively speaking. The current, eye-catching teardrop bottles, meanwhile, were introduced last year as the brand refreshed its image on the U.S. market. So with that said, let’s get to tasting the core lineup as it exists today. All are bottled at 40% ABV .
On the palate, this one is actually quite peppery in a pleasant way, with a moderate caramel sweetness that takes the edge off nicely. The astringency of the blanco may still be here, but it’s been rounded away by significantly higher sweetness. At the same time, I don’t know that the average drinker would register this is actively, overtly sweet, but it certainly seems so in comparison to the blanco.
