Tequila Ocho, Plata. Single estate, La Canada, 2022, Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico. Master Distiller Carlos Camarena. Bottle no. 32,207, 40% abv. $46+.
Nose is floral citrus, bitter lime peel, sweet fruit, agave, and mineral. In the mouth, hard minerals and saline hits first, then roasted agave, spicy grass and pepper follows. Dry, not sweet, and thin mouthfeel. Finish is long on dry alkaline mineral, pepper, and a hint of bitter mint.
Really complex flavors, not all harmonious, but it is interesting. Going to explore this for a while and will update review--giving it a generous 3.75 for now. Maybe 4.
