Tequila Ocho Plata Tequila

PRODUCER NOTES:

TASTING: “AROMA - Crisp, bright agave with lively citrus notes and a fresh herbaceousness including white pepper and minerality; TASTE - Full and complex cooked agave notes, developing front-to-back with notes of fresh cut grass and a touch of earthiness; BODY & COLOR - Unaged, crystal clear color, delightfully explosive to sip; FINISH - Thick, viscous mouthfeel with a long harmonious finish.”

ABOUT US: “Our story begins in 2008, when two men with a love for agave spirits came together with the single goal of proving the concept of terroir exists in tequila, inspired by the heritage and process surrounding fine wine. The famed Carlos Camarena, a fifth-generation farmer and third-generation tequilero teamed up with Tomas Estes, the man responsible for bringing tequila culture to Europe. Together, they developed a tequila that is the purest expression of the Blue Weber Agave; thus, Tequila Ocho was born.”
