Chinaco is the only tequila brand distilled in Tamaulipas, something they had to fight the Mexican government to do as it wasn’t a designated region for the production of tequila. Their reposado tequila is aged between 8-11 months in oak, some of which previously were used to age Scotch whisky. No caramel coloring, oak extract, glycerin, or sugar is added.
