Ocho Tequila
Ocho Tequila is the first ever estate-grown 100% blue agave tequila. It is the first tequila to bear a vintage and designation of exactly which single field the agave came from.

Tequila Ocho was born from the collaboration between Tomas Estes, the ambassador of Tequila to the European Union, and the renowned tequila producers, the Camarena family.

Not unlike the labeling of fine wines, Ocho’s ‘Tequila vintage’ signifies the exact year or harvest and location of the Agave plants that the spirit was derived from, underlining the finely balanced relationship between the terroir and quality of raw materials.

In a further similarity to fine wine, Ocho Tequila has been found to develop in the glass; releasing subtle nuances of nose and flavour that entice the drinker to keep coming back to experience more and more with every sip.

This is a Tequila range that has a unique story to tell. Not only does the brand name (Ocho meaning eight in English) represent the 8th, and final, attempt at the ultimate recipe, the producers themselves are in their 8th decade of Tequila production and 8 years is the average age at which Ocho’s Agave is harvested.

The complete Ocho line currently includes a Blanco which is unaged; Reposado which has been aged 8 weeks and 8 days (just above the minimum for the Reposado category); and an Añejo which has been aged for just over a year in used American whiskey barrels.
