Staff Pick Notes

While the vast majority of tequilas are made in Jalisco, Chinaco holds the distinction of being the only distillery authorized to operate in the Tamaulipas region.The loam, sand and clay soils along with proximity to the sea and high elevations of this unique place, all conspire to impart Chinaco with a distinctive minearlity, along side ripe tropical fruit and a savory briny character. The complexity and terroir driven nature of this tequila are some one of the reasons why tequila and mezcal are the spirit of choice for many wine geeks. The dry earthiness and fresh herbal character of this tequila make it an excellent base for a margarita, but also reward contemplative sipping.
