Tequila Ocho Reposado Tequila 750ml

Tequila Ocho Reposado is a Reposado Tequila from Tequilera Los Alambiques in Arandas, Jalisco Highlands, Mexico. This expression is aged a deliberate eight weeks and eight days in ex-American whiskey barrels and bottled at 80 proof, additive-free, with the single estate ("rancho") and harvest year identified on the label.

Tequila Ocho was founded by Carlos Camarena - third-generation tequilero at the Camarena family's Tequilera Los Alambiques in Arandas, Jalisco Highlands (NOM 1474) - in collaboration with the late British spirits writer Tomas Estes. Ocho was the first tequila to label both the year of production and the specific single estate ("rancho") where the agave was grown, treating tequila as a terroir-driven, single-vineyard-style spirit. Production follows traditional methods: 100 percent fully-mature Blue Weber agave from a single named rancho, brick-oven slow cooking, roller mill extraction, open-air fermentation, and double distillation in small copper pot stills - all additive-free.

The signature "8 weeks and 8 days" rest is the timeline Carlos Camarena identified as the moment when oak first integrates into the Highland agave without burying it - intentionally short for the Reposado category in service of agave clarity. On the nose, it shows cooked agave layered with vanilla, citrus peel, light oak, and herbal notes. The palate brings sweet agave, gentle oak spice, and bright citrus, and the finish carries a clean, balanced close.

The deliberately short rest keeps Ocho Reposado closer in character to a Plata with a wood inflection than to a typical heavily-oaked Reposado. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
