Cost
Tequila Ocho are single estate tequilas that are a collaboration between Tomas Estes and the Camarena family. The name of the ranch is a play on the word "maguey" - another word for "agave." The agaves used in this tequila were harvested at a slightly higher brix level, 27-28%, which is 5% higher than average, and grown in gray clay soil.

Tasting Notes
"This is a very fresh-tasting tequila, with strong citrus and green pepper notes and a lot of salinity. A smooth, earthy flavor ties everything together, ending in a peppery, mineral, clean finish."
