Tequila Ocho Añejo Las Raíces Barrel Select – 750ml

Experience the extraordinary harmony of Mexican tequila craftsmanship and French Cognac barrel maturation with Tequila Ocho Añejo Las Raíces Barrel Select, a limited-edition expression celebrating the distinctive character of Highland agave.

Discover Tequila Ocho Añejo Barrel Select Las Raíces, an exceptional small-batch tequila crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested from Rancho Las Raíces in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Created through a prestigious collaboration between Tequila Ocho and Ferrand Cognac, this distinctive añejo brings together two celebrated spirits-making traditions.

Carefully produced under the expertise of master distiller Carlos Camarena, this special release begins with exceptionally ripe agave selected from a single estate. Following traditional cooking, fermentation, and distillation, the tequila is matured for a full 12 months in seasoned French oak barrels that previously held Ferrand Cognac.

The result is a sophisticated, agave-forward tequila enriched by elegant notes of ripe cherry, cinnamon, caramel, fresh herbs, and roasted coffee. Bottled at 88.8 proof (44.4% ABV), this limited release offers remarkable depth, vibrant minerality, and beautifully integrated oak character.
