Tequila Ocho was founded by Tomas Estes, a world renowned tequila expert and Carlos Camarena, a master distiller from the highly regarded Camarena family known for their rich legacy in the tequila industry. Together, they created the “tequila ocho single estate philosophy” upon which the whole brand has built its legacy.

Single estate means that all the agave plants used to make the tequila are grown on a specific piece of land, often referred to as a "rancho" or estate, rather than being sourced from multiple locations. That said, the single estate philosophy that the brand is famed for places great importance on terroir - a french term referring to the unique combination of environmental factors that influence the character, flavor, and quality of the final product. Each bottle therefore reflects the specific terroir of the estate where the agave used in its production was grown, capturing the nuances of its soil, climate, and altitude to paint. With each batch of Tequila Ocho, connoisseurs can explore a variety of distinct flavor profiles that echo the unique characteristics of the land.

Tequila Ocho covers all the bases of tequila: from blanco to extra anejo. Here is a short list of their offerings:

Tequila Ocho Blanco, also known as tequila ocho plata, is the unaged expression of Tequila Ocho. Made from 100% hand-selected agave sourced from single estates in Jalisco, Mexico, the resulting spirit is one that showcases the natural essence of the agave plant with a crisp and vibrant character.
