Distiller Notes
Critical Acclaim
All VintagesA notably light and vegetal take on añejo. Look for a pale straw hue and mild, peppery aromas, plus a flinty hint. The palate mixes sweetness and pleasing salinity: salted almonds winds into bell pepper, asparagus and fresh herbs. Salted vanilla sweetness takes over into the warming finish. Aged one year in ex-American whiskey barrels.
The Tequila Ocho story begins in 2008, when two men with a love for agave spirits came together with the single goal of proving the concept of terroir exists in tequila, inspired by the heritage and process surrounding fine wine. The famed Carlos Camarena, a fifth-generation farmer and third-generation tequilero teamed up with Tomas Estes, the man responsible for bringing tequila culture to Europe. Together, they developed a tequila that is the purest expression of the blue weber agave; thus, Tequila Ocho was born.
The world's first single-estate, single-field tequila is made using traditional, sustainable, additive-free methods that celebrate the terroir of our Jalisco highlands home.
