Lot 17 Nose: Funk from the white pepper, oak, citrus, minerals, and cherries. Palate: Black pepper, oak, alcohol, very little agave Finish: Some heat in the chest (similar to whiskey) and slight burn on the tongue
This rating and accompanying notes are for the Chinaco 50th Anniversary Añejo, released in 2023. Sorry for the confusion… Nose: Very fruity opening volley. Aromas of fermented grapes and currants. Toasted nuts and sugar pralines. Undercurrent of acidity and cider. Flavor: Moderate pepper with trace bitters. Oak vanillins, and that peculiar sachet-like taste that is found in very old oak barrelings. Light colored fruitiness and orange citrus notes. Very sweet and coats the palate. Again, some nuttiness. Interesting special release of 600 bottles, but not a crowning glory to 50 years of history.
