https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2290 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2290 A good, solid blanco from a great line of tequilas. Aroma: A nice balance of a lot of things. Agave presence is strong. Then there is a nice mix of earth, spice and citrus fruits. Initial taste: Again a good balance of what I expect out of a blanco. Not overly sweet, but the agave flavor is still there nicely. Body: A bit more citrus comes through, but still a nice balance of agave and earth & spice. Finish: Pleasant finish. The citrus notes are there and there's a pleasant burn. It does not last as long as I'd probably like it to. Purchased for $30 online. Well worth that price. I've only sipped it, but I feel like it would be a really good mixing tequila as well. At $30, I'll probably always have a bottle of this around. ]]> Sun, 29 Jan 2012 02:24:21 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2059 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2059 Based on reviews posted on Tequila.net, I was really looking forward to buying and trying the Chinaco Blanco. Could not have been more disappointed. I actually purchased two different bottles, six months apart. Same disappointing results. Tasted like it had been contaminated with saltwater and pickle juice. ]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:47:31 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2044 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2044 I've been using this blanco to convert tequila haters for a while now, and it's seldom failed. It's wonderfully pure, complex, smooth, and enjoyable. Aroma: Earth, clay, grass, agave, and salt. Some floral and citrus notes reveal themselves after the glass breathes a bit. Initial taste: Not too sweet, and not bitter at all. A bit of floral and fruit in a nice, rounded texture. Body: Very agave forward with citrus lingering. A small amount of spice. Finish: The earthy, agave finish gives way to notes of lemon peel. Then, as the agave falls off, the finish keeps going with notes of vanilla and spice. Fantastic. ]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 21:29:34 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1063 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1063 Colour is silvery, not completely clear. First sniff is magnificent agave - first sip is light, sweet and mild. Depth of agave soon presents itself with elegant florals developing in the nose. Sweetness flows through to a clean and somewhat short finish with a pleasing tingle. Chinaco Blanco may well be the most perfectly balanced blanco I have ever tried. ]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 01:11:15 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=974 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=974 Tasted out of a snifter on 01/14/09. This is just a great blanco from a great line. An excellent sipper that I highly recommend to anyone. Like I've stated before, this line is very consistent. I personally would never mix this one. It's to be savored, and it's in my top 4. Aroma: A sweet and pleasant nose of floral (violet and orange blossom) and spice (clove), with hints of tropical fruit. Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel. A sweet entry with no bitterness. Initial taste of fruit. Body: A nice heavy agave body (in a good way), with notes of tropical fruit. Finish: A semi heated finish of short duration, with a lingering of agave and fruit. ]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:47:05 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=854 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=854 Very light, very smooth. Sweet agave flavor, although a bit too light for my taste. I am going to try their reposado as I thought this tasted really good but I prefer the smoky addition that they againg gives it. I recommend this for those who may be just starting their tequila journey as it a really good, smooth spirit. ]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:43:41 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=554 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=554 Tasted in a caballito on April 11, 2008 showing clear thunder thigh lasting legs on the glass. Chinaco Blanco Color: clear Aroma: agave & clay Taste: clay with hot pepper finish and light on the tongue I enjoy the light blanco mouthfeel of the Chinaco Blanco with its earthy agave taste. This is a pure well done Blanco that can be drunk neat, on ice or in a cocktail ! The Chinaco Blanco is currently my top Blanco pick as of the writing of this review, along with Corralejo or the El Diamante Del Cielo's. ]]> Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:49:08 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=227 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=227 Chinaco Blanco NOM 1127 Tasted on 5/7/07 at 6:30pm. I tried this tequila at Zocalo?s free tasting and tasted it out of a shot glass. The tequila is clear in color and is aged less than 1 month. Chinaco Blanco aromas consist of intense earth, spice, and floral aspects followed by moderate smoke. On the lighter side, this Blanco has mild aromas of fruit. On the tip of tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a medium mouth feel. While the tequila has heavy agave flavor, it is sweet and has only a hint of bitterness. The flavor of this tequila contains intense flavors of earth, agave, and floral followed by moderate wood and fruit aspects. Deeper flavors of Chinaco Blanco consist of mild smoke and spice. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a medium-to-long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 92 out of 100 points. ]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2007 01:12:26 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=219 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=219 Chinaco?s Blanco is crystal clear with a slightly salty perfume whose soft sensations on the nose cleverly invite curiosity. From first sip to swallow the tequila only opens slightly remaining steady and smooth until the classic bite and breath that distinguishes tequila's character. I would describe it as the silk stockings of platas given its sophisticated presence in aroma and body. I noted subtle waves of lime and an almost sweet impression at the tip of the lips after initial taste. Bottle is simple, and one has to appreciate the honorable GGDL dedication considering the flash with trash tactics some bottlers employ to awe the drinker passed mediocrity in taste. ]]> Thu, 31 May 2007 14:07:02 +0000
