Bottled at 40% ABV and not chill filtered, it is a pinnacle expression of Ocho's single-estate philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTequila Ocho was created by the Camarena family in partnership with the late Tomas Estes, and it was the first tequila to name the individual rancho on every bottle and date each release by vintage. Like wine, each estate and year shows its own terroir, and Ocho deliberately ages in well-used barrels so that even its extra añejo keeps the agave front and centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose come cherries, red fruits, oak, cinnamon and spices. The palate is sweet, with toasted oak, anise, nuts, almonds and black pepper and a slight mineral edge, carried by earthy agave, dried fruit, orange peel and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle is presented in a pale wooden case marked with the vintage, making it a handsome gift and a fine piece for a collector of single-estate tequila.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly to taste the character of a single Highland field in a single year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtra añejo is the most mature category of tequila, created in 2006 for tequilas aged more than three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres. The long rest softens the agave's natural pepper and brings out caramel, vanilla and dried fruit, which is why extra añejos are usually enjoyed neat, like a fine cognac or whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherries, red fruits, oak, cinnamon and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, with toasted oak, anise, almonds and black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy agave with a slight mineral edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tequila Ocho\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra Añejo Tequila, single estate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Bajío 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak barrels; not chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arandas, Jalisco Highlands, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat from a tulip or tequila glass.
