From The Distiiler:
"Ocho has many distinctive qualities. Here are the ones we think are the most important:

First, Tequila Ocho is made by Felipe Camarena, a third generation Tequilero, in partnership with Tomas Estes, the “Ambassador of Tequila to the European Union.” This is a potent combination that delivers heritage and tradition coupled with innovation. Felipe and Tomas produce a tequila that is made slowly in the old-fashioned way. The result is a fine quality spirit that accentuates the agave flavor. It is concentrated and complex while remaining balanced and easy to drink.

Second, Tequila Ocho demonstrates that “terroir” exists in agave. We demonstrate this annually with new vintages drawn from our single estates at varying altitudes in Arandas, Jalisco, ensuring each vintage is distinct in aroma and flavor. Since each estate, or “rancho,” produces a limited amount of agave, each vintage of Ocho is both rare and collectible. Every bottle is hand numbered.

Third, Ocho is the first tequila to
designate both the year it was produced and the precise field from which the agave was sourced. Each is noted on the front label to confirm their authenticity.
Finally, Tequila Ocho “opens up and develops” in the glass the same way a fine wine does."

Anejo: The 2009 Anejo agave was harvested from our "Carrizal" estate nicknamed "La Laugacha" (The Strip) because it is long and thin. It sits at 1978 meters above sea level, two miles from the village of Arandas. It is notorious for intensely sweet agave.
