Ocho Tequila Plata Las Corrales

Type : Tequila
ABV : 80
Producer : Tequila Ocho Distillery
Country : Mexico
Size : 750ml
Description :

At Ocho they experiment with the effects of climate on the agave and how that impacts the final product. To do this they use the micro-climates of the agave farm in the village of Arandas, 6,500 feet above sea level. Agave from different areas where there are slight variations in the climate give a surprisingly varied end product. So every vintage of the Ocho Plata will offer something different. The 2010 Plata was harvested from the 'Los Corrales' estate at over 6,000 feet and the agave used was nine years old when harvested.

Nose: Sweet and delicate, with a lemony citrus bouquet almost bordering on floral.  Airing brings the slightest hint of vanilla custard.
Taste:  Medium heat with black pepper overtones.  Baked agave is pronounced with an almost milky character.  Quite dry, with a lot of minerality.
Finish: Fairly long with the lasting impression being one of a slightly minty chalk-like terroir.
