One of the few tequilas still made slowly in the old fashioned way, Tequila Ocho is a spirit which accentuates that which is exclusive to tequila, the agave flavor. Ocho is the first tequila to designate both the year it was produced and the precise field from which the family grown agaves were sourced. Each batch comes from a different field or rancho contributing distinctive characteristics of that place.
Las Presas, “The Dams”, is a ranch located in Jesus Maria that belonged to Carlos Camarena’s great-grandfather. The field sits at 2,170 meters altitude, is slightly inclined east-west, therefore the agave rows are oriented north-south to receive most of the sunlight without shadowing each other. The agaves harvested were 6.5 years old with an average weight of 26 kgs and a sugar content of 28.6%.
Aromas of citrus zest, cinnamon, ripe mango, black tea, butter cream, red berries, mole, and wet tobacco. Vegetal flavors, alongside ripe kiwi, green grapes, caramel, mineral, and star anise.
