Tequila Ocho Extra Añejo is a rare expression that is gently aged for 3 years in ex-American whiskey barrels, bringing an unparalleled sipping tequila. These barrels have had several previous fillings of tequila, rendering them more ‘seasoned,’ or mature. The result is a tequila not overly influenced by the oak, allowing for the agave profile to shine, simply kissed with a cooked agave note.  The agaves are roller-mill crushed, fermented using natural airborne yeast, and double-pot distilled at low temperatures, first in stainless steel with copper components, second in full copper pots. Extra Añejo is then aged for three years in seasoned ex-American whiskey barrels. On the nose, it offers notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, salted caramel, vanilla, and fresh oak. The palate is rich and complex with cooked agave, roasted coffee, nuts, orange peel, and fresh oak. The finish is long-lasting vanilla, coffee, and oak with an intense cooked agave, round mouthfeel.
