Chinaco Añejo Tequila Limited Edition 2026 Release – 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750ml

Celebratory, historic, and exceptionally rare, Chinaco Añejo Tequila Limited Edition 2026 Release commemorates over 50 years of tequila tradition from one of Mexico’s most pioneering tequila houses. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this ultra-limited release revives Chinaco’s original vintage presentation while showcasing a remarkable blend of aged tequila reserves tied directly to the González family legacy.

Process & Aging

This special 2026 release is built around a predominantly 2002 vintage Extra Añejo tequila, originally aged for three years and preserved from reserve stocks selected by the González family. It is blended with additional Añejo tequila aged for approximately one year, creating a final average maturation of roughly 30 months.

The blend reflects a true “collaboration of generations,” as the original reserve liquid was curated by Guillermo González Díaz Lombardo’s father and grandfather, with later generations continuing the tradition using carefully selected estate-grown agave. The tequila honors the same methods and standards that helped establish Chinaco as one of the first premium tequilas introduced to the United States.

Appearance

Deep golden amber with rich copper highlights, reflecting its extended maturation and vintage reserve blending.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Elegant aromas of cooked agave, oak, dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and soft spice emerge with layered depth and maturity.

Palate: Rich and silky, offering flavors of honeyed agave, toasted oak, butterscotch, baking spice, and subtle fruit notes balanced by refined sweetness and structure.

Finish: Long, warm, and sophisticated with lingering oak, vanilla, spice, and mature agave character.

What Makes It Special

This release is limited to only 300 bottles worldwide, making it one of the rarest Chinaco bottlings ever produced. The tequila is presented in the brand’s original vintage-style label and glass bottle, paying tribute to the early years that helped define premium tequila in the U.S. market.

What truly separates this release is the inclusion of reserve tequila dating back to 2002, creating a deeply personal and historical expression tied directly to the González family’s heritage and legacy in Tamaulipas, Mexico — the only tequila-producing region outside the traditional core tequila states.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tasting glass or snifter to fully appreciate its mature character and layered complexity. Allow the tequila a few moments to open in the glass, revealing deeper notes of oak, spice, and dried fruit.
