Process & Profile

Our Tequila Ocho Añejo Single Barrel Select brings Ocho’s agave-forward approach to an exclusive barrel selection for The Barrel Tap. Made from 100% blue agave, Ocho follows traditional production methods, including slow cooking in brick ovens, fermentation with native yeasts, and double distillation. Its Single Barrel Añejo ages for twelve months in seasoned American oak whiskey barrels.

Our selection is bottled at its natural cask strength of 105 proof, preserving the character of the individual barrel without dilution. Ocho’s Single Barrel Añejo style combines cooked agave with cacao, coffee, dried fruit, and warm spice, supported by oak. It offers an opportunity to explore the relationship between agave, barrel aging, and bottling strength.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Cooked agave, cocoa, warm spice, and subtle oak.

  • Palate: Agave sweetness layered with dark cacao, coffee, nutmeg, and dried fruit.

  • Finish: Long and peppery, with lingering agave, oak spice, and a buttery texture.

What Makes It Special

  • Our barrel selection: Selected for The Barrel Tap and bottled as an individual barrel.

  • 105-proof cask strength: Presented at 52.5% ABV without dilution after aging.

  • Twelve months in oak: Seasoned American whiskey barrels complement Ocho’s agave character.

  • Additive-free production: Flavor comes from the agave, fermentation, distillation, and barrel maturation.

  • Single-estate philosophy: Ocho highlights the influence of individual agave fields and harvests.

How to Enjoy

We recommend starting neat in a tulip-shaped tequila glass to explore the agave and barrel character. Let the pour rest briefly, then add a few drops of water if you prefer a softer presentation.

For a pairing, try dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or aged cheese. A large ice cube offers another way to enjoy the tequila while gradually adjusting its strength.
