My Tasting Notes: n/a
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Single Estate" means all our agaves are
harvested from a single field and that they bear the personality of the soil and climate
unique to this location.
There is only one Ocho.
Other Info: The date stamp on the bottle is 12/18/09.
"Ocho has many distinctive qualities. Here are the ones we think are the most
important:
First, Tequila Ocho is made by Felipe Camarena, a third generation Tequilero, in
partnership with Tomas Estes, the “Ambassador of Tequila to the European Union.”
This is a potent combination that delivers heritage and tradition coupled with
innovation. Felipe and Tomas produce a tequila that is made slowly in the old-
fashioned way. The result is a fine quality spirit that accentuates the agave flavor. It is
concentrated and complex while remaining balanced and easy to drink.
Second, Tequila Ocho demonstrates that “terroir” exists in agave. We demonstrate this
annually with new vintages drawn from our single estates at varying altitudes in
Arandas, Jalisco, ensuring each vintage is distinct in aroma and flavor. Since each
estate, or “rancho,” produces a limited amount of agave, each vintage of Ocho is both
rare and collectible. Every bottle is hand numbered.
Third, Ocho is the first tequila to designate both the year it was produced and the
precise field from which the agave was sourced. Each is noted on the front label to
confirm their authenticity.
Finally, Tequila Ocho “opens up and develops” in the glass the same way a fine wine
does. " -Tequila Ocho Website
