After exploring the full story behind Chinola, we go deeper — into the glass. In the latest bonus Proof of Concept Tasting episode, CEO Andrew Merinoff guides us through the brand’s portfolio of fruit liqueurs, unpacking the flavor, texture, and craftsmanship that define Chinola.

Bright, fresh fruit with a natural balance of sweetness and acidity, layered with a rich, juicy mouthfeel.

That balance is what sets Chinola apart — vibrant and tropical upfront, with a depth and structure that allows it to stand on its own or elevate a cocktail. This tasting brings the product to life in a way that complements the broader conversation — connecting the brand’s philosophy directly to what you experience in every sip.
