Tequila Ocho

Tequila Ocho, single estate tequila with a terroir-driven profile

Tequila Ocho is a tequila brand that presents itself as a producer of single estate tequila, meaning it is made from agave sourced from a single field or estate. Its approach revolves around the concept of terroir: the company maintains that the soil and environment where the agave grows influence the flavor profile of each expression, so that each one has its own distinctive characteristics.

The brand organizes its range into several agave-based expressions and describes each one through notes on aroma, taste, body, color, and finish. All references detailed on the site indicate an alcohol strength of 40% ABV.

Expressions and tasting profiles

The range described on the site includes four main expressions, each with a distinct sensory profile:

• Unaged expression: crystal clear in color, with aromas of fresh agave and lively citrus, along with herbaceous notes, white pepper, and minerality. On the palate, it shows full and complex cooked agave, with notes of freshly cut grass and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and harmonious, with a thick, viscous texture.
• Rested expression: with aromas of ripe fruits, vanilla, and butterscotch. On the palate, sweet cooked agave notes stand out, balanced with sweet spices, cinnamon, and vanilla. It rests for 8 weeks and 8 days in ex-American oak whiskey barrels, which gives it a slight translucent amber color. Long and creamy finish.
• One-year aged expression: with aromas of black tea, pepper, and wet tobacco. On the palate, complex cooked agave notes appear with dark cacao, coffee, nutmeg, dried fruits, and salted caramel. It ages for one year in ex-American oak whiskey barrels, giving it a light amber color. Long-lasting finish, with pepper and a buttery texture.
• Three-year aged expression: with aromas of dried fruits such as raisins and peach, dark chocolate, salted caramel, vanilla, cooked agave, toffee, and fresh oak. On the palate, it shows cooked agave, roasted coffee, nuts, orange peel, black pepper, cherries, and oak. It ages for three years in ex-American oak whiskey barrels, acquiring a darker amber color with green and golden reflections. Long finish of vanilla, coffee, and fresh oak, with intense cooked agave and a round texture.
