| Long Description | Tequila Ocho Añejo Single Barrel is aged for one year in ex-American whiskey barrels, the bare minimum required by law to classify as an Añejo. This aging process imparts complexity without overshadowing the agave's essence. With bold agave character, as only Carlos and Tomas would have it, Ocho Añejo is a true testament to the existence of terroir in tequila highlighting the nuances between different fields and regions, offering a unique profile and sipping experience from bottle to bottle. Like all of Tequila Ocho, only three ingredients are used: agave, natural airborne yeast, and water. Production is done the slow, artisanal way with patience in each step. Solely overripe agaves are harvested from Los Altos, or the Highlands, before being slow-cooked in brick ovens for 48 hours and laid to cool for another 24 hours. The agaves are roller-mill crushed, fermented using natural airborne yeast, and double-pot distilled at low temperatures, first in stainless steel with copper components, second in full copper pots. Añejo is then aged for one year in seasoned ex-American whiskey barrels. On the nose, it offers notes of black tea, pepper, and wet tobacco, complemented by hints of spice and natural sweetness of agave. The palate is smooth and complex, featuring cooked agave, dark cacao, coffee, nutmeg, dried fruits, and salted caramel. Together, this produces a long-lasting peppery finish with a buttery mouthfeel. |
