In 1983, Chinaco® was the first distillery to launch an ultra-premium tequila made of 100% agave, handcrafted, and packaged in unique, artisan bottles. Today, Chinaco® Tequila is still produced in limited quantities with the same standards and bottled in replicas of early hand-blown glass tequila decanters.

When a tequila of this quality became available outside of Mexico for the first time, it took US drinkers by storm and demand outpaced production with other distillers quickly following the lead of Chinaco®.
