PRODUCER NOTES:

TASTING: “AROMA - Black tea, pepper and wet tobacco; TASTE - Complex cooked agave notes with dark cacao, coffee, nutmeg, dried fruits and salted caramel; BODY & COLOR - Gently aged for 1 year in ex-American Oak whiskey barrels, giving it a light amber color; FINISH - Long-lasting peppery finish with a buttery mouthfeel.”

ABOUT US: “Our story begins in 2008, when two men with a love for agave spirits came together with the single goal of proving the concept of terroir exists in tequila, inspired by the heritage and process surrounding fine wine. The famed Carlos Camarena, a fifth-generation farmer and third-generation tequilero teamed up with Tomas Estes, the man responsible for bringing tequila culture to Europe. Together, they developed a tequila that is the purest expression of the Blue Weber Agave; thus, Tequila Ocho was born.”
