Tequila Ocho Distillery Information:

Tequila Ocho is produced at La Alteña Distillery, located in the heart of the Tequila Valley in Jalisco, Mexico. This distillery is known for its commitment to producing high-quality, traditional tequilas using artisanal methods. La Alteña has been in operation for generations, and it’s one of the few distilleries in the region that still practices traditional tequila-making techniques with a focus on single-estate agave, allowing for a deep connection to the land and the terroir.

The La Alteña Distillery was founded by the legendary Carlos Camarena, one of the most respected figures in the tequila industry, whose family has been involved in the production of tequila for over 80 years. The distillery is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship, using only the finest blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco. The soil, climate, and altitude of this region are ideal for cultivating agave, resulting in complex and refined tequila flavors.

Tequila Ocho stands out for its dedication to single-estate production, with each batch of tequila being made from agave harvested from a specific field. This allows for a unique flavor profile that captures the essence of the land, with each bottle representing a specific vintage and a distinct expression of that year’s harvest.

At La Alteña, the production process is a labor of love, with the agave being hand-harvested, slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, and distilled in small batches. The use of copper pot stills ensures a refined, smooth spirit, while the careful aging process for the Reposado expression in oak barrels imparts rich, complex flavors that are the hallmark of Tequila Ocho.

The result is a premium, high-quality tequila that reflects the deep heritage and passion for craftsmanship of the La Alteña Distillery, making Tequila Ocho a standout in the world of premium tequila.
