Chinaco Tequila Blanco Still Strength 700mL

Chinaco Tequila Blanco Still Strength

Blanco Tequila | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 700mL | 100% Blue Weber Agave | Still Strength | Tamaulipas, Mexico | Limited Edition

Process & Profile

Chinaco Tequila Blanco Still Strength is a limited high-proof blanco tequila from Tamaulipas, Mexico, made from 100% Blue Weber agave. Built as a bolder version of Chinaco’s classic blanco profile, this still strength release is bottled at 100 proof to deliver more texture, intensity, and agave concentration than a standard 80 proof blanco.

Still strength tequila is bottled with little to no dilution after distillation, helping preserve more natural agave oils, flavor compounds, and mouthfeel. For Chinaco, that means a fuller expression of its regional character: cooked agave, citrus peel, black pepper, fresh herbs, wet earth, minerals, olive brine, lime zest, and earthy spice.

Chinaco is especially distinctive because it comes from Tamaulipas rather than Jalisco, giving the bottle a unique regional identity in the tequila category. The standard Chinaco Blanco is known for pear, quince, dill, lime, aloe, freshness, depth, and a long finish, while this 100 proof Still Strength edition amplifies that bright, herbal, citrus-forward profile for sipping and cocktail use.

How to Enjoy

Chinaco Tequila Blanco Still Strength is best enjoyed neat in a tequila glass or copita so its cooked agave, citrus, minerals, herbs, olive brine, and pepper notes can open gradually. Let it rest briefly before sipping, especially because the 100 proof strength gives it more power and texture than a standard blanco.

A few drops of water can soften the proof and bring forward more agave sweetness, lime zest, and mineral depth. For cocktails, this still strength blanco works especially well in a premium margarita, paloma, ranch water, tequila sour, or tequila soda because the higher proof helps the agave flavor stay clear after dilution. It also pairs well with ceviche, aguachile, grilled seafood, tacos, citrus, herbs, chile, and spicy salt.
