The rancho, just 28 kilometers from Tequila Ocho’s new home place, Tequilera Los Alambiques, located in the highlands and characterized by rich red soil, high elevation, and plateau-like positioning; conditions which have produced the purest, ripest agave with a 33% average sugar content for the piñas. The result is an exceptional tequila with a signature hint of residual sweetness on the palate.
What are the “Puntas” of agave spirits and why does it matter?
The puntas, or “distiller’s cut,” of agave spirits are cut from the very end of the heads and the very beginning of the heart of distillation. They have long been considered the most coveted part of the distillate and are traditionally set aside by the distiller to be enjoyed with friends and family on special occasions. Other high-proof tequilas on the market only use the “heart” cut of distillation, rather than the highly selective cut known as Puntas.
A special release from Tequila Ocho in collaboration with Heaven Hill, makers of Old Fitzgerald Bourbon. "Old Fitz" is a highly sought after, limited release Bourbon that is prized for the sweeter and softer flavor profile provided by the inclusion of wheat in the mashbill.
This Añejo is aged for 1 year and 1 day in barrels that had previously held the 10 year, 2023 release of Old Fitz.
Tequila Ocho produces Single Estate bottlings where all of the agaves for each batch they produce are harvested from the same field or rancho. The idea is show how the terroir of individual sites is expressed in each batch that is produced. They are focused on the expressiveness of the agaves so their aged bottlings are kept in barrel for the absolute minimum amount of time allowed by law for each category. Their releases are vintage dated and list the name of the site where the agaves came from. Although there is flavor variation from batch to batch (as is the point), they are always well made and highly representative of the Highlands of Jalisco where all of their sites are located.
Sweetly floral nose with extra ripe agaves and candied fruit presenting themselves. Citrus, cinnamon, dried fruit and almond on the palate with a lingering hint of spearmint on the finish. Chairman's Trophy & Top 100 Spirits - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2020.
