Process & Production

Tequila Ocho is known for its focus on expressing the character of agave from specific fields and harvests. This Old Town Tequila Single Barrel selection features agave harvested in 2025 and was selected to highlight a distinctive combination of agave character, barrel influence, and cask-strength intensity.

Under the guidance of Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, the tequila is crafted with an emphasis on the raw material and the nuances developed during maturation. As an añejo expression, it gains additional complexity from time spent in oak barrels, while the cask-strength bottling preserves a more concentrated flavor profile at 52.5% ABV.

Each single-barrel selection offers its own character, shaped by the individual cask and the interaction between the tequila and the wood. This bottling brings together the natural character of agave with dried-fruit notes, cacao, spice, and butterscotch.

Appearance

Warm golden amber with deeper honey and copper highlights, reflecting its time in oak and its rich, full-bodied character.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cooked agave, dried fruits, and salted chocolate create a layered aroma, balancing the earthy sweetness of agave with rich cocoa and fruit notes.

Palate: Cacao and warming spice lead into smooth butterscotch sweetness. The elevated proof adds intensity and structure, allowing the agave and barrel-derived flavors to develop with each sip.

Finish: Creamy and lingering, with a rounded texture that carries the cacao, gentle spice, and butterscotch notes through the finish.

What Makes It Special

This Old Town Tequila Single Barrel selection combines Tequila Ocho's agave-focused philosophy with the individuality of a single cask. The 2025 agave harvest, cask-strength bottling, and distinctive tasting profile set it apart from standard-strength añejo tequila.

At 52.5% ABV, it offers a more concentrated tasting experience, while the balance of agave, dried fruit, salted chocolate, cacao, and butterscotch creates a rich profile that develops gradually in the glass. The creamy finish adds a smooth, rounded conclusion to its bold character.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy neat in a tequila tasting glass at room temperature to appreciate the full range of aromas and flavors. Allow the tequila to rest briefly in the glass before sipping. A few drops of water may soften the cask-strength intensity and reveal additional layers of agave, dried fruit, and cacao.

For food pairings, consider dark chocolate, roasted nuts, aged cheeses, or desserts featuring caramel and butterscotch. Its rich, warming character also makes it an excellent after-dinner sipping tequila.
