The essence of Tequila Ocho is the “Rancho Unico”, which means that the agaves produced in a certain territory give different flavors to the tequila, and this proves that the terroir, in Spanish “Rancho Unico”, exists in the agaves and in the tequila, as well as in the vines and in the winemaking. All the Ranchos of Tequila Ocho are located in the Golden Triangle between the towns of Arandas, Atotonilco and Jesus Maria, in the Sierra de Jalisco, where the altitude and the ferrous soil give the agaves a greater body and sweetness. Characteristics that are reflected in the quality of the tequila. The production process is carried out with great care, in small quantities, with transparency, passion and pride, using exclusively artisanal methods. The production begins in the Jimadores where the proud agave harvesters (without them tequila would not exist) after cutting take them to the cooking in brick ovens for a 72-hour process between cooking and cooling. This process purifies the agave juice from its bitter characteristics. Fermentation takes place exclusively in special open wooden vats without added yeasts, so that the spontaneous yeasts act, and lasts between 96 and 120 hours. Subsequently, the must is distilled first in a 3500-liter steel Pot Still and then in a 300-liter Copper Pot Still; the copper gives the tequila its character. It is then aged in reconditioned ex-American Whiskey barrels, so that the woody notes do not cover the agave notes. Tequila Ocho is not cold filtered to maintain the esters and flavors in their purity. Tequila Ocho embodies the true Mexican spirit.
