Tequila Ocho Plata 2023 Harvest Review
From the Jalisco highlands, Tequila Ocho consistently delivers among the purest and most invigorating expressions of fresh, unadulterated agave. The 2023 vintage opens with a vibrant fruit core that veers into lightly candied territory at times, inviting you to take a sip. And this is an unaged tequila you should consider sipping, at which point it’s easy to appreciate its mix of fruit, vegetal, and peppery spice notes. Meanwhile, the texture is punchy and the finish persisting, like a fine aged spirit.
