Tequila Ocho Extra Anejo Single Estate 'La Ladera 2021' is crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, specifically in the Los Altos Southern region. Made from 100% Tequilana Weber agave, this single estate tequila is a product of meticulous craftsmanship. The agave is slow-cooked in traditional stone and brick ovens, then extracted using a roller mill before fermenting in wood fermentation tanks. Open-air fermentation and deep well water contribute to its unique flavor profile, while the distillation process uses copper pot stills, ensuring a refined spirit.

The wood aging imparts subtle oak notes, blending harmoniously with the agave's natural sweetness and earthy undertones. Expect flavors of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of spice, making it a luxurious and rewarding sip.
