Same agave, same distillery, same hands.

Their argument was that if wine grapes taste like where they grew, agave should too. Ocho became the first tequila brand to bottle by named estate and by harvest year to prove it, and it has never repeated the same estate-and-vintage combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it's made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamarena harvests only Blue Weber agave that's spent 7 to 10 years in the ground, cut by hand when fully mature. The piñas are cooked slowly in traditional stone and brick ovens, extracted by roller mill, fermented with wild ambient yeast in open-air wooden vats, and twice-distilled in copper pot stills. No diffuser, no shortcuts, no additives — no sweeteners, colorants, glycerin or oak extract in any of the three bottles. Production is registered under NOM 1474, Cía.
