Tequila Ocho Single Estate La Canada
La Canada (the creek) is located around 12.5 km northeast of Los Alambiques Distillery at 2,115 meters average elevation in between two fields already used for Ocho production in past years (La Latilla on its north side & La Laja at the south), gently sloping towards the south. This piece of land is full of small flat rocks, often used for building fences. Its east border runs alongside a creek (thus the name) which carries water only at the rainy season, with cedar, ash and oak trees at its sides.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh and citric, strawberries, green guavas, rosemary, cooked agave and hits of pepper. Very mineral and aromatic.
Palate: Toast bread, pink pepper, orange peel, anise, peppermint and rosemary.

Tequila Ocho Single Estate Reposado La Mula
Rancho La Mula (“the mule”) is part of the original ranch of Don Felipe Camarena, its average elevation is 2,085 meters above sea level, the land almost flat. The field is free of trees and the agave rows were planted in a north-south direction, providing the agave full exposure to the sun, all day long.
The agave was 6.5 years old at the moment of harvest, overripe with a few brown spots on the “pina”, with a magnificent sugar content above 30%.
Nose – Coffee, roasted almonds, candied nuts, light notes of vanilla and green pineapple.
Palate – sweet, dry fruits, fresh oak, cooked agave. Very silky and smooth.
