You can’t even talk about Tequila right now without mentioning ‘Ocho’ in Jalisco. They’re a scorching hot premium tequila brand created by Carlos Camarena (of El Tesoro and Tapatio fame) in collaboration with the late Tomas Estes.
They’re widely known as the first ever “single estate” – each batch comes from a specific field (rancho) in a specific year, emphasizing terroir similar to wine. The brand pioneered the concept of vintage-dated tequila and typically produces high-proof expressions that showcase the distinctive characteristics of different agave growing locations.
In a world where three new tequilas seem to crop up every minute — some of which are pumped full of additives — Tequila Ocho remains committed to producing each batch of its liquid using traditional, age-old methods.
