What is Tequila Ocho Reposado?
Tequila Ocho Reposado stands out for its unique "single estate" approach, with each batch made from agave harvested from a different field to showcase distinct terroir. Interestingly, the number "8" in its name isn't just for show - the tequila is aged for precisely 8 weeks and 8 days, a nod to the auspicious nature of the number in Chinese culture and a testament to the brand's meticulous attention to detail.
Why do we love Tequila Ocho Reposado?
Tequila Ocho Reposado stands out for its precise aging process of exactly 8 weeks and 8 days in ex-American Oak whiskey barrels, resulting in a beautifully balanced spirit with rich fruit notes and a creamy finish. Unlike many other tequilas, Ocho is made from single estate agave, harvested from a different field each vintage, allowing drinkers to taste the unique terroir of Jalisco's highlands in every sip.
How do you drink Tequila Ocho Reposado?
Tequila Ocho Reposado shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube, allowing its rich agave flavors and subtle oak notes to fully unfold. This versatile spirit also excels in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, and pairs beautifully with grilled meats or spicy Mexican cuisine, making it an ideal choice for warm summer evenings or cozy fall gatherings.

Nose: Rich fruit aromas lead the way, accompanied by warm vanilla and butterscotch notes. There's a subtle hint of oak from the barrel aging, adding depth to the overall bouquet.
Palate: Sweet cooked agave takes center stage, delivering a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Cinnamon and gentle vanilla flavors provide a pleasant spice backdrop. The oak influence is noticeable but not overpowering, contributing a subtle woody character.
Finish: Long and creamy, with lingering notes of agave sweetness and mild spices. The finish is smooth and satisfying, leaving a warm, comforting sensation that invites another sip.
Tequila Ocho Reposado is crafted using traditional methods, with agave plants harvested at peak ripeness and slow-cooked in brick ovens before fermentation and distillation. What sets it apart is its unique aging process: the tequila rests for precisely 8 weeks and 8 days in ex-American Oak whiskey barrels, allowing it to develop a subtle amber hue and complex flavor profile without overpowering the agave's natural characteristics.
