Produced in single estates with a limited amount of agave, each vintage of Tequila Ocho is both rare and collectable.

This artisanal tequila was first introduced to us by master mixologist Berto Santoro. While, the plata and reposado tequilas are both worth exploring, Berto designed the Jalisco Old Fashioned specifically to complement the flavors of Ocho’s reposado tequila. This craft cocktail will delight even bourbon-drinking traditionalists!
