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

Beverage Journal “This handmade Tequila continues to amaze aficionados and neophytes alike, both for its richly elegant character and remarkably reasonable price. It is well aged, extremely flavourful and has an exceptionally long and relaxed finish. The history of Tequilera La Gonzaleña began with a devastating hurricane. Don Guillermo Gonzalez was agriculture minister of Tamaulipas in 1965. At this time, a hurricane destroyed a large part of his home state of Tamaulipas. The blue agave plant survived the storm and Don Guillermo Gonzalez arranged a sale of the agave plants to the Tequila producers in Jalisco. At this time Jalisco was the only state, which allowed the production of Tequila. Because of its sustained efforts and its good relations, Manuel Gonzalez fought thru new plantation regions outside of the State of Jalisco. Since the early 70s the regions of Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, Michoacan and Nayarit were added and further one permitted to grown Blue Agave plants for Tequila production. The way for the production of the 5-star Tequila Chinaco was free.
