Ocho

Created by Carlos Camarena and Tomas Estes, each bottle captures harvest-year variations that measurable data shows—such as the 2022 blanco's 20% higher acidity than the 2021 release. This intellectual project ages its reposado for six months in American oak, yielding a vanilla-spiced profile that averages 38% ABV, placing it above typical industry benchmarks. At $55, Ocho offers a unique window into how soil and climate shape flavor, a concept rarely applied to Mexican spirits. It stands as the most serious terroir-driven tequila in the country, appealing to both scholars and casual drinkers.
