A rare gem from a pioneering distillery, Chinaco Extra Anejo Tequila Negro (Bottle 40/1190) defies expectations with its profound depth and elegant complexity.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Initial notes of dark chocolate, roasted agave, and a whisper of espresso bean. Underneath, a delicate sweetness emerges, reminiscent of caramelized plantain and toasted marshmallow, with a faint herbaceous hint of mint or eucalyptus.

Palate: A surprisingly smooth and velvety entry, considering its proof. The roasted agave character is prominent, interwoven with deep, dark fruit notes – dried fig and black cherry. There's a rich earthiness, almost leathery, balanced by a subtle spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. A faint, pleasant bitterness of dark cacao lingers, providing complexity.

Finish: Long and enduring, with a warm, lingering embrace. The dark chocolate and roasted agave notes persist, gracefully transitioning into a pleasant woody spice and a subtle, sweet tobacco. The finish is remarkably clean for an Extra Añejo, leaving a refined warmth and a desire for another sip.
