Ocho Tequila
Tequila Ocho is a premium, single-estate tequila brand founded by master distiller Carlos Camarena and tequila ambassador Tomas Estes. It is unique in the industry for producing “vintage” tequilas—each release comes from agave harvested from a single field, with the label naming the field and year of harvest. This showcases the influence of terroir, much like fine wine, allowing drinkers to taste the differences imparted by soil, climate, and location.
The agave is grown in the highlands of Jalisco, known for its mineral-rich red soil and cooler nights, which produce sweeter, more aromatic plants. Each plant is harvested only at peak maturity, usually between seven and ten years old. Production at La Alteña Distillery follows traditional methods—slow cooking in brick ovens, natural fermentation, and careful distillation in copper pot stills—to preserve the full character of the agave.
Ocho is celebrated worldwide for its purity, transparency, and craftsmanship, with each bottling serving as both a high-quality spirit and a reflection of its unique origin.
