Tequila Ocho Plata Las Raices 2024

Cia Tequilera Los Alambiques, Arandas (NOM-1474), Jalisco, Mexico

40% ABV

Ocho makes Tequila for nerds of the spirit who appreciate it designating both the year of production and the precise field from which the agaves are sourced. In this case, La Cañada (the creek) is just a few miles northeast of Los Alambiques Distillery in a land full of small flat rocks, often used for building fences. Its east border runs alongside a creek (thus the name) which carries water only during the rainy season, with cedar, ash, and oak trees at its sides. The agave reflects the land it's grown in, so the tequila in turn reflects the agave it was distilled from. Thoroughly rewarding stuff.
