Tequila OCHO Extra Añejo

Matured for three years in ex-American whiskey barrels, it’s known for its memorable flavor profile. This 80-proof tequila begins with a nose of dried cherries, chocolate, salted caramel, raisins, prunes, and oaky wood. The palate is a mix of roasted agave, fresh coffee, caramelized sugar, candied nuts, honey, orange zest, and oak.

“Tequila Ocho Extra Añejo has always been a special expression for us and is all the more remarkable in this stunning new pack,” said Tequila OCHO Global Brand Ambassador Jesse Estes in a press release.

“Our Extra Añejo has always pushed the boundaries of how long a tequila can be aged while still retaining full agave flavor. The ability to age a tequila for three years and still have the coveted agave notes remain front and center, while being subtly highlighted, accentuated, and lifted by the oak notes is a testament to Carlos Camarena’s mastery of his craft. The availability of these releases will be extremely limited, so make sure to pick up a bottle if you get the chance.”
