Ocho Reposado Tequila

Ocho Reposado Tequila is a single estate tequila, with each release made from 100% agave harvested from a single field. The agave is grown for at least eight years before it is harvested, then slow-cooked in stone ovens and distilled slowly at low heat at the Los Alambiques distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, to retain its agave character.

The spirit is rested for precisely eight weeks and eight days in American whiskey barrels, which lends a pale gold colour and gentle oak without masking the agave. Expect bright notes of cooked agave, a touch of summer fruit sweetness, leafy herbs and green peppercorns, backed by delicate vanilla and butterscotch from the oak. Bottled at 40%, it works well sipped neat or as the base of a refined tequila cocktail.
