Tequila Ocho Reposado Barrel Proof 101 (75cl, 50.5%)

An undiluted reposado tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, bottled at 50.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Produced at Destilería La Alteña in Los Altos, Jalisco, it is a collaboration between Tomas Estes and Carlos Camarena built on a single-estate philosophy. Mature blue Weber agave is slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, fermented with wild ambient yeast and double-distilled before resting in American oak barrels for up to six months. It is bottled at full cask strength without dilution or chill filtration. The nose leads with roasted agave, honeycomb, vanilla, citrus, herbal minerality and florals such as rosemary, rose and lavender. The palate is bold and creamy, with caramelized agave, baking spices, toasted oak, dark chocolate and ripe peach, building white pepper. The finish is long and warming, with lingering sweetness, firm oak tannins and subtle salinity.
