Distiller Notes
Rich golden amber, Chinaco Añejo has subtle aromas of pear, wild flowers, vanilla, smoke and baked apple, edged with papaya and mango. The flavors are very rich and complex, with exceptional depth, balance and style, ending in a luscious, spicy, smoky finish.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
