About This Bottle

Single-field vintage releases and slow brick-oven cooking define the terroir-driven philosophy of Tequila Ocho Plata. Created by fifth-generation agronomist Carlos Camarena alongside the late Tomas Estes, Ocho operates like a traditional wine estate by harvesting 100% Blue Weber agave exclusively from designated single fields (ranchos) across the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco. The mature piñas undergo slow roasting in traditional masonry ovens, roller-mill extraction, and open-vat wooden fermentation with indigenous yeasts before double distillation in small copper pot stills. Bottled unaged at 40% ABV without additives, chill filtration, or artificial sweetening agents, it serves as a pure structural benchmark for highland agave spirits.

Viscous and substantial in mouthfeel, the palate leads with dense, sweet roasted agave, lime zest, and wet slate minerality. Mid-palate tension introduces fresh-cut lemongrass, savory vegetal green pepper, and crisp white pepper warmth that elongates the finish without excessive heat. In-house evaluations at USQ show the spirit's dense lipid texture holds exceptional clarity neat, while possessing the structural spine required for refined cocktail builds. Our team recommends showcasing its minerality in a classic Tommy's Margarita: shake 2 oz Tequila Ocho Plata, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar (2:1 ratio) with ice, then strain over a large rock in a rocks glass with a light half-rim of coarse sea salt.
