The Tequila Ocho Reposado Single Estate 2025 El Nacimiento de Abajo is a beautifully balanced reposado that showcases the philosophy that tequila can express terroir much like fine wine. Made from agaves grown in a single named field and gently rested in oak, it retains vivid Highland agave character while gaining subtle layers of vanilla, spice, and texture. Elegant, transparent, and additive-free, this limited single-estate bottling is an exceptional sipping tequila for enthusiasts seeking purity and place-driven character.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Tequila Ocho was founded by master distiller Carlos Camarena and tequila ambassador Toms Estes, with a pioneering concept: tequila produced from a single agave field (rancho) each year, allowing drinkers to experience the influence of terroir.

• Estate Designation El Nacimiento de Abajo (2025 Harvest)
  • This bottling comes from the El Nacimiento de Abajo agave field located near Arandas in the Highlands of Jalisco.
  • The site sits at high elevation with mineral-rich soils that contribute vibrant agave sweetness and structural minerality.
• Terroir Philosophy
  • Tequila Ocho is widely recognized as the first tequila to label specific agave fields, highlighting differences in soil, climate, and harvest year.
• Agave Source
  • Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, harvested only when fully mature to maximize sugar concentration and flavor.
• Traditional Production
  • Agave pias are slow-cooked in brick ovens before crushing and fermentation.
  • Fermentation occurs naturally, followed by double distillation in copper pot stills at the La Altea distillery.
• Aging
  • Rested approximately 8 weeks and 8 days in used American whiskey barrels, the minimum required for reposado classification.
  • This brief maturation adds gentle oak tones while preserving the tequilas vibrant agave profile.
• Additive-Free Approach
  • Produced using only agave, water, and natural yeast, with no additives, allowing the agave and terroir to speak clearly.

The result is a reposado that captures both the energy of a blanco and the subtle refinement of light barrel aging.
