TEQUILA OCHO EXTRA AÑEJO is a rare expression that is gently aged for 3 years in ex- American whiskey barrels, bringing an unparalleled sipping tequila. These barrels have had several previous fillings of tequila, rendering them more ‘seasoned,’ or mature. The result is a tequila not overly influenced by the oak, allowing for the agave profile to shine, simply kissed with a cooked agave note. True to Ocho, this aged expression is made with only agave, water and yeast and showcases the pure essence of the Blue Weber Agave.
Our latest vintage is a 2021 harvested from rancho La Ladera, “The Hillside”, and presented in a custom wood box. Previous estate vintages of Extra Añejo were Las Presas (2018), La Latilla (2015), La Magueyera (2014), El Refugio (2012) and Cerrito San Augustin (2009).\
