Tequila Ocho Reposado Barrel Proof Las Raíces Tequila

Highland agave, turned up to eleven. Ocho’s Barrel Proof Reposado blends a few dozen barrels, bottles without chill-filtration, and lands at 50.5% ABV. Agaves come from single estates like Rancho Las Raíces, keeping terroir squarely in focus and intensity pristine. It rests for four to six months in well-seasoned American whiskey barrels, adding spice and cocoa without muting the agave’s glow.

The nose blooms, the palate swells, and the finish carries pepper, caramel, and a sleek, high-proof warmth that lingers.

2024 Tequila Ocho Reposado Barrel Proof Las Raíces is a focused snapshot of place, time, and restraint pushed to its edge. Sourced entirely from the Las Raíces estate, this release amplifies Ocho’s terroir-driven philosophy. The tequila rests briefly in American oak, then gets bottled straight from the barrel. No water touches it. No corners soften it. Every decision preserves structure and intensity. This is reposado without compromise.

Nose:
The nose opens bold and energetic. Cooked agave, fresh oak, and orange peel rise immediately. Black pepper, honey, and subtle floral notes build layered intensity.

Palate:
The palate is powerful yet precise. Sweet agave, vanilla, and roasted citrus lead the charge. Oak spice, mineral salinity, and green olive notes add tension and depth.

Finish:
The finish is long and commanding. Pepper heat and agave sweetness linger together. Dry oak and mineral tones fade slowly, clean and resolute.

Pair with grilled ribeye or carne asada for equal intensity. Charred vegetables echo the oak influence. Aged Manchego stands up to the proof. Bright citrus desserts cut through the heat beautifully.
