One of the few tequilas still made slowly in the old fashioned way, Tequila Ocho is a spirit which showcases that which should be a hallmark to tequila, the  agave flavor. Ocho is the first tequila to designate both the year it was produced and the precise field from which the family grown agaves were sourced. Each batch comes from a different field or rancho contributing distinctive characteristics of that place.

Single Estate: Corralillos agave was harvested in 2023.

Located ~3 miles north of Lake Chapala, Corralillos sits outside of the highlands at 5,100 feet, the lowest altitude ever used for Ocho. Specifically chosen to explore different terroir, Corralillos is mainly flat with clayish soil, where the agave thrived in full sunlight between cattle pastures and corn fields.
