Tequila Ocho pioneered the concept of "single estate" tequila, proving that the land where agave is grown has a profound impact on the final spirit's flavor, much like grapes in fine wine. This Reposado is crafted from overripe agaves from a single field, slow-cooked in stone ovens, and then rested for a period just over the minimum for Reposado classification in ex-American Whiskey barrels. The result is a perfect harmony between vibrant, terroir-driven agave and a subtle, elegant oak influence.

Brand History: The Pioneer of Terroir in Tequila

Tequila Ocho is the groundbreaking partnership between the legendary Camarena family, with generations of tequila-making heritage in the highlands of Jalisco, and the late Tomas Estes, a tequila ambassador who is credited with bringing fine agave spirits to Europe. Together, they created the first-ever single estate, vintage-dated tequila. Led by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, Tequila Ocho is a benchmark for authenticity and quality, producing only 100% agave, additive-free tequilas that showcase the unique character of each individual agave field, or "rancho."

Tasting Notes: A Powerful and Complex Reposado

Bottled at a higher proof, the Las Raíces Reposado delivers an intense and deeply flavorful experience:

• Nose: A powerful bouquet of rich, cooked agave, black pepper, and bright citrus, beautifully layered with subtle notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak from the barrel.

• Palate: A wonderfully rich and oily mouthfeel that coats the palate. The classic bright, peppery, and vegetal notes of Ocho's agave-forward profile are front and center, perfectly complemented by a developing sweetness of butterscotch, cinnamon, and a hint of dark fruit.

• Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and warming, with the sweet agave and peppery spice lingering in perfect harmony with a final, sophisticated whisper of oak.

• A True Taste of Terroir: As a single estate tequila, this spirit is a pure expression of the agaves harvested from the Las Raíces field in 2024.

• Uncut & Unfiltered: Bottled at its natural barrel proof of 50.5% ABV, you are tasting this tequila in its most robust and flavorful form.

• The Perfect Balance: Masterfully balances the bright, peppery character of a classic highland Blanco with the subtle, sweet spice of a well-rested Reposado.

• A Connoisseur's Choice: Tequila Ocho is beloved by bartenders and spirits experts for its unwavering commitment to additive-free, traditional production methods.

This is a tequila that tells a story of a single harvest, a single field, and a commitment to absolute purity.
