Ocho: an estate-grown, 100% Blue Agave Tequila range produced as a collaboration between by Tequila aficionado Tomas Estes and renowned distillers, the Camarena family - and the first brand ever to bear a Tequila vintage. As interest in the category continues to gather pace, Ocho is set to be one of the most exciting Tequila releases to date, not least for the association with Estes, official Tequila Ambassador to the European Union and founder of the Cafe Pacifico group of bar-restaurants.
Not unlike the labelling of fine wines, Ochos Tequila vintage signifies the exact year and location of the Agave plants that the spirit was derived from, underlining the finely balanced relationship between the terroir and quality of raw materials.
This is a Tequila that has a unique story to tell. Does the brand name represent the 8th, and final, attempt at the ultimate recipe, the producers themselves are in their 8th decade of Tequila production and 8 years is the average age at which Ochos Agave is harvested.
Ocho Blanco Tequila has a full, ripe Agave nose, opening up to rounded sweetness. There are slight citrus and marzipan accents. The taste has intense, forward Agave flavour on the attack which develops into a high sweet fruitiness [reminiscent of an eau de vie de prune]. This continues with nuances of pepper, citrus and earth and is balanced and smooth despite the intensity of flavours.The finish is extremely long due to its concentration which goes on and on and the sweetness re-visits.
