Tequila Ocho 'Old Fitzgerald Barrel Select' Tequila Anejo

Tequila Ocho Añejo Barrel Select Old Fitzgerald is a masterful collaboration between Mexico's Tequila Ocho and Kentucky's Old Fitzgerald Bourbon. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested from single estates—Rancho Corralillos and Rancho Potrero Grande—this limited release showcases the unique terroir of Jalisco's highlands. Aged for 12 months in barrels that previously held Old Fitzgerald’s 10-Year Spring 2023 Decanter Series bourbon, the tequila absorbs rich notes of caramel and toasted oak, complementing its agave-forward profile. Bottled at 96 proof, this expression offers a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, making it a coveted addition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Nose: Toasted coconut, roasted nuts, cherries, dark chocolate, maple syrup, and a hint of roasted pineapple, all underpinned by light minerality. ​

Palate: A rich tapestry of coffee, toffee, toasted oak, orange peel, and cacao, delivering a velvety mouthfeel with balanced sweetness and spice.

Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering notes of agave sweetness intertwined with the mellow warmth of bourbon-soaked oak. ​

This Añejo tequila pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, where its robust flavors complement the charred richness. For a refined experience, enjoy it alongside dark chocolate desserts or aged cheeses, which highlight its complex notes of cacao and toffee. Its versatility also makes it an excellent base for elevated cocktails, adding depth and character to classic recipes.​

With only 3,200 cases released, Tequila Ocho Añejo Barrel Select Old Fitzgerald is a testament to the artistry of cross-cultural collaboration, offering a unique tasting journey that bridges the worlds of tequila and bourbon.
