Product information

Description
Tequila Ocho Blanco is made by Carlos Camarena (brother of Felipe), a third-generation Tequilero, and Tomas Estes, tequila legend and global spirits ambassador. Some would say this is the most dynamic and intense partnership in the tequila world, bringing to life decades of experience and deep understanding and respect for the agave plant, with a truly artisanal approach. Ocho designates both the year of production and the precise field from which the agaves are sourced, so each batch takes on different characteristics, making each vintage collectable.

Remy Newland: '2024 Mirandillas | Nose: Caramelized steamed agave. Floral notes and vanilla candle fragrance. A squeeze of citrus. Mint. Minerals. A subtle whiff of cooked asparagus. Flavour: Pepper and lively baking spices. Pleasing viscosity and salinity. Agave sweetness renders bass notes that add depth to the profile. A pleasant, balanced sipper. It should appeal to a wide range of palates.'
Don Heiser: '2024 Mirandillas | Nose: cooked agave, citrus, lemon and grapefruit, tropical flowers, natural sweetness, and some earthiness Flavour: cooked agave, sweetness of agave, citrus, tropical flavours, and earthy Finish: agave and pepper, nice long finish'
Jacob Skoff: '2024 Mirandillas | Aroma: peppery, citrus, mineral, earthiness, bright agave. Palate: same as aroma, plus some pineapple, lime zest, sea salt , green apples. Finish: nice, peppery and mid-strong but not acidic or alcohol. Is as simple as a tequila can be.'
Cool Chile Rating: offering great quality and value for a house pour, Don Carlos makes his tequila with care and skill, he makes Tapatío too, you can't go wrong with one of his tequilas. We like this blanco for sipping and for long cocktails.

Interesting fact: Ocho is the first tequila to designate both the year it was produced and the precise field from which the agave was harvested as is done with fine wines. Each estate, or “rancho” produces a limited amount of agave, each vintage of Ocho is both rare and collectable.
Region: Arandas,Jalisco (Los Altos), single estate
Age of agave when harvested: they harvest the agaves at 7- 10 years when they are overripe and full of sugars and acids for concentrated complex flavours
Oven type: slow cooking in brick ovens
Extraction method: mechanical roller
Fermentation: Fermentation takes place in small (3,000 litre capacity) wooden pine vats made. Proprietary, indigenous, natural yeast is used. The open vats allow airborne yeast and bacteria to freely mix with the must. Fermentation lasts between 4-5 days (96-120 hours), depending on the weather.
Still type: double distilled in steel first and then copper
