Ocho Single Barrel Anejo Tequila

Ocho Single Barrel Añejo Tequila is bottled at cask strength from a single barrel, so each release is distinct. Like every Ocho, it is made from 100% blue agave grown in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, harvested from a single field, or rancho, specific to each vintage. Only overripe agaves are used, slow-cooked in brick ovens for 48 hours, fermented with natural airborne yeast and double distilled in pot stills.

It is aged for one year in seasoned ex-American whiskey barrels. The nose shows black tea, pepper, wet tobacco and gentle spice alongside the natural sweetness of the agave. The palate is smooth and complex, with cooked agave, dark cacao, coffee, nutmeg, dried fruits, salted caramel and vanilla, leading to a long, peppery finish with a buttery mouthfeel. Sip it neat to appreciate its depth and singular origin.
