Tequila Ocho Single Estate Reposado Tequila

40% ABV

Tequila Ocho Reposado is always aged for the minimum amount of time allowed by law, 2 months and 1 day, in oak barrels. It is always made from the highest quality, fully mature Blue Webber agaves from the highlands of Jalisco. 

Please note that the bottle in the photo may not correspond with the specific expression on offer. Tequila Ocho produces single estate Tequilas from numerous sites each year. We used to list the exact location and vintage for each release because collectors would try to have complete sets. The brand has grown far beyond that at this point so we will just list the maturation style of the expressions (Blanco/Plata, Reposado, Añejo) but not the individual sites where the agaves were harvested. Wondering which one we have at the moment? Feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email and we'd be happy to let you know what we have in stock at the moment.

About Tequila Ocho:
Tequila Ocho is a project started by 3rd generation Tequila Distiller Carlos Camarena and Tequila Ambassador Tomas Estes. The Camarena family have been agave farmers for 5 generations and own La Alteña Distillery (producers of El Tesoro and Tequila Tapatio). Carlos brother Felipe owns El Pandillo Distillery (producer of G4, Volans, and others). They are as close as you're going to get to royalty in the highlands of Jalisco.

What made the Tequila Ocho project unique was that they attempted to express the concept of terroir through their tequila. Each batch that they produce utilizes agaves from a single plot or ranch, which are named on the label as well as a vintage to signify when the agaves were harvested and distilled. So every batch of Tequila Ocho is slightly different than the last, owing to differences in the geography of where the agaves were harvested. Their aged expressions are left in barrel for the minimum amount of time allowed by law. So their Reposados are aged for 2 months and 1 day, 1 year and 1 day for their Añejos. The goal is allow the flavors of the agaves to shine through rather than leaning on barrel influence for flavor. Certified Additive free by Tequila Matchmaker and considered by those who know to be on the short list for the finest Tequila Distillery in Mexico.
