Tequila Ocho Reposado Review
This single estate tequila uses “mature, overripe” agave from La Mesa, in the highlands of Jalisco. Distilled by Carlos Camarena, it is matured in ex-American whiskey barrels for two months. The nose has just a hint of barrel, vanilla, and butterscotch, leading to a palate where the pepperiness of the agave blends beautifully with the spiciness of the oak barrel.
